NabalisCanyon Balisong Trainer Butterfly Knife Balisong, With Stainless Steel Handle & Blade Balisong Trainer, Unsharpened, for Practicing Flipping, Blunt Practice, No Edge Tool

I have a dozen balis, This being the cheapest next to a Theone Falcon, all the way to an Alpha Beast. This is by far my favorite trainer I own to flip; I own 3 Glidrcos' and a Squid Industries Mako (the Mako and Glidr Bermuda being some of my favorites). I bought this because the skeletonized channel steel is a very interesting construction that I haven't seen before. Typically, steel is a poor choice for handle material because of the weight, my Kershaw Lucha is on Flytanium Aluminum handles for this exact reason... The Lucha is stock form flips like a school bus. Weight isn't an issue on the Canyon because they pretty much removed all of it, all sides are effectively speed channeled. What you get out of this is a very neutral flipping knife that carries momentum exceptionally well (ever so slight handle bias). Around the same time I impulse purchased a Flytanium Zenith (same price range $60), which flips the worst out of all of my trainers. It carries exactly zero momentum, feels closer to a Squiddy than a typical aluminum knife, love it's ring though... This thing Chaplin's well, does rolls like butter and I personally have no issues with grip on ladders. Fans nicely too.The exact reason I love this thing though, comes from the Zippy inserts I put in it. Amazon won't let me add a photo to show, buy I opted for the trainer blade over the false live for this reason. The Zippy inserts make this thing sound very close to a titanium knife when tuned and oiled. It's wicked, no bali this cheap has any right sounding this good. Will mention, it sounds horrific without the inserts, so definitely recommend at least the speed Channel inserts by Zippy. Channel steel needs to become more mainstream. The build quality isn't great, you can see obvious residual steel from casting but this doesn't bother me because of the price. I'd pay double for better quality and a polished (obviously it'll oxidized, not a realistic thing to manifacture) finish with a blade style similar to the Nabalis Hydra.It's my go to trainer, could absolutely not recommend it enough. Just don't drop it on something hard. I've seen quite a few posts online of these things breaking the cast handles. Quite an unusual issue for a steel knife, it's cheap for a reason.

Great product, exactly as described.

This is my first "real" bali and I was surprised. I'm used to the cheaper semi-nice amazon $30 ball bearing g10 balis. I do miss the snappy action of the bearing balis, but the bushings on this are so smooth and make it easier to handle and learn with. The weight distribution is perfect, and the sound is really nice. It doesn't make me want to throw all of my "cheap" bearing balis away, as some have said, but I will now use this 99% of the time and use the others only occasionally when I get the hankering for their super snappy action. I would give this 4.5 stars based on my limited experience, and just because I was expecting it to blow the others out of the water. I was also expecting a cool box but didn't get one :( just a standard little box with logo.

A little heavy but I like it. Came nicely tuned and not too stiff out of the box. Works great and is making learning new tricks super easy

A little handle heavy but for this price having a bushing is big especially when competition like squid uses washer for the pivot in similar or more expensive products like the makoAdd on, the acid wash is a little more slippery but the sand blast has a nice grip but doesnt flip as well for some reason, all up to you in the end though.

Nothing better at this price point. It flips good and I enjoy the sound as well.

I researched & found so many positive reviews on YouTube & Google on the Nabalis balisongs. I decided on the Canyon to upgrade from the other practice trainers that took the joy out of learning to flip. The Canyon has a good weight to it and is very comfortable to maneuver. It's very durable and ready to flip right out of the box. Extremely satisfied with this purchase & appreciate the high quality!!Also, this Nabalis seller, "Toncentury" was super helpful and very fast to respond with any information. Excellent customer service!Don't hesitate on buying this. It is a great experience.

The bali is ok. A little mediocre. They seem to give regular customers a different package than they give to the people on social media, which is a little dishonest.My main complaint is that Nabalis as a company seems to be very sketchy. If you get their bali on Amazon, you have the protection of Amazon's policies. But I tried ordering another one from them directly and that was a NIGHTMARE. Extremely rude, kept giving different tracking info, 2 of the links I got said it was delivered to a wrong address, and both of them were in different states. Neither was the state it was supposed to go to.Can't support a company that acts so sketchy and gets rude when you aren't happy about them trying to scam you.
