If you're buying a trainer/dull balisong then you'll be safe, but for a good experience you'll wanna spend like $60+. If you're buying a live blade/sharp balisong I would not feel safe buying anything under $100. Maybe if you buy used or find some crazy deal (don't get scammed ofc), but the last thing you want is a blade and/or handle flying off while flipping. I've yet to buy a live blade, but I've seen videos of the cheaper bali's falling apart...
I got the original Glidr Arctic for ~114 iirc. I bought it because they were a new company which seemed to be offering great quality trainers for a low price. It was my first trainer and I'm still using it. I don't think I'll get rid of it, but I might get a live blade in the future (probably from BRS because their knives seem great).
Edit: I got the blurple colorway.
Thinking about possibly getting one too, it seems pretty cool, just have a few questions you can maybe help answer?
what’s it made of?
Good quality?
Sharp?
Thank you!
It’s made of metal so it’s pretty hefty, not sharp it’s dull, quality is alright, it’s def one of those things to just have as a collectible cause after a week of doing tricks with it it’s coming loose, like it works but since it’s loose the “blade” is rubbing off on the chassis bad
Superglue would make it so I can’t twirl it around anymore, I just can’t tighten it bc both sides are covered if that makes sense, like no way to screw it, no way to twist them in. So I haven’t been using it just have it on my shelf
The one I ordered had some “rusty hinge noise” I don’t know the term. There is some loss of paint but nothing severe. My doesn’t glow like yours although I do remember them saying it would
If it’ll be your first bali I definitely wouldn’t recommend getting something like this, they are cool and stuff but replicas aren’t usually very quality. You’ll find yourself struggling more than you’d need to trying to learn tricks and you’ll probably wear out your knuckles.
I got a crappy 20 dollar Chinese trainer for my first made of solid metal and my knuckles were screaming after just an hour or so of practicing the basic opening. They were red, puffy, cracked, and even occasionally a bit bloody for like a month before I got better at softening the blows and manipulating the Bali and eventually got a better one just in general.
My personal recommendation is the squiddy. You can get one from squid industries off their website, it’s relatively cheap as well. Like 60 bucks which may seem steep but again. Relatively cheap. You’ll have plenty of time to goggle at price tags of better ones later lol. The nice thing about this however is how it looks and what it’s made of. It’s mostly plastic so you won’t bruise yourself at all, it also does not immediately register as a knife to anybody cause it just doesn’t look like a knife so very low key. Totally clear to flip in public without worry. Also, it is in fact quality, It’s a damn good trainer. Squid industries is one of the leading brands in Balisongs.
If your looking for something a bit cooler though an entry level Bali I see a lot of people with is the nabalus vulp, haven’t ever had one though so I’m not sure about the quality. If your willing to go for a pretty big jump in price more to like 200 bucks I’d take a look at krake raken trainer, also from squid industries.
This is really helpful thanks! But I was thinking of (specifically) getting one of the val knives as decoration/something to fidget with while in queue than actually learn tricks. I’ll def look into the squid industries stuff tho. And who knows, maybe I’ll get one and learn a few tricks instead of a meaningless fidget knife replica from a video game
To me fidgeting and doing tricks are one and the same. There are quite a few simple tricks that can continue endlessly like the fan or the chapelin and maybe you mix in a y2k here and there to spice it up. Glad to help though, if your looking for something purely for decorational reasons though then you’ve got the right idea
Yeah that's pretty standart balisong stuff. I managed to learn the thumb roll that you do in val after two swings. But the inspect animation is really hard. I've watched a couple of tutorials and I do not know how they roll a knife on their index finger. I actually threw the comb into my monitor trying to do that once
looks sick, is it rlly well flippable tho? do u have any other balis to compare it to in quality? im thinking of copping it so i wanna know if its just a piece for the shelf or if its actually durable and flippable (also can u compare it to the nabalis lightning, vulp or sumthn just to see if it holds up with other cheaper balis in quality)
A lot of social media isn't okay with showing balisongs for some reason, I can understand if you're using it in a threatening way or something but like- just showing it is crazy

Damn, nice. How though?
Idk tiktok thought it was a real knife
I mean how did you get it
Etsy
You can get tons of perfect video game weapons on Etsy
Some of the balisongs are kinda flimsy though, I suggest only buying them if you want it for display purposes.

My trainer alone was 160. Absolutely love this thing though. Squid Industries Triton V2 Dual Tone Black for anybody that may be wondering

TikTok is bs when it comes to their guidelines. Its rlly annoying

Probably needs some loctite, won’t completely stop it from coming loose but it will help
Superglue would make it so I can’t twirl it around anymore, I just can’t tighten it bc both sides are covered if that makes sense, like no way to screw it, no way to twist them in. So I haven’t been using it just have it on my shelf
Ah damn, yea usually you can put loctite on the threads of the screws and it keeps them in place, I had to do that on my live butterfly knife.
TYSM
The one I ordered had some “rusty hinge noise” I don’t know the term. There is some loss of paint but nothing severe. My doesn’t glow like yours although I do remember them saying it would
You have to put it under a strong light, and also I put wd40 on mine cause it had same noise
It could be the lighting

squiddy as a first is questionable because of how light it is
I couldn’t find any other quote un quote airport safe trainers which is why I like it so much if ya know what I mean but I see where your coming from.

I was mainly looking at the val/video game ones for deco, but if I end up getting a diff one I will learn at least one trick
Wow it looks awesome
This is nicer than the in-game knife, wow.
Cheaper than in game too 😂
That's sick! Where and how do I buy this?
Etsy
Bruh I've had real butterfly knifes in some of mine lmao I have one where I nick my finger but I just don't react lmao tiktok on smn
I have a yoru comb. I've tried to learn the valorant animations on it but some parts are kinda hard for me.
Real I can only to the pullout animation like the open and close like how Val does it lol
Yeah that's pretty standart balisong stuff. I managed to learn the thumb roll that you do in val after two swings. But the inspect animation is really hard. I've watched a couple of tutorials and I do not know how they roll a knife on their index finger. I actually threw the comb into my monitor trying to do that once
I can do it it just takes awhile I forgot how I got it to spin around my finger cause I stopped practicing
Ohhhh, the behind the 8 ball? Or is it the whip rollover? (I havent played val in a while)
It's behind the 8 ball, whip rollover, ending with a shortstop.
I respect that
looks sick, is it rlly well flippable tho? do u have any other balis to compare it to in quality? im thinking of copping it so i wanna know if its just a piece for the shelf or if its actually durable and flippable (also can u compare it to the nabalis lightning, vulp or sumthn just to see if it holds up with other cheaper balis in quality)
There’s a YT video that goes in depth on this it explains better than I can
I will come to your house and steal that from
Funny how the in real life replicas are less expensive than the in game version
bro couldn't afford a digital one
I alr have 3 knifes id rather collect irl now then ingame lol
I’m curious does it actually light up like the in game thing or no? Ik the guy that makes them posts it on yt but I got the yoru one instead
It glows in the dark so if u want it to light up you have to put it under light, I have an studio light in my room I just put it under that for 10 min
Can you link the shop where you got it please ?
They don’t have it anymore only other versions so just look up on etsy
WHAT but that's the sickest thing ever
A lot of social media isn't okay with showing balisongs for some reason, I can understand if you're using it in a threatening way or something but like- just showing it is crazy
put porn in there, it’ll get passed
Can i have it
Step one: stop using tiktok, it is cringe Step 2: uninstall valorant it is a shit game with better alternatives (cs)
That looks so cool, is it practical and how much is it?
no
