KEEDAS Folding Printed Patterns Plastic Tool, Integral Channel Handle, Ultra-Lightweight Durable, Balance Trainer and Inertia, Great for Beginners (White)

My son absolutely loves this and it has held up!

Definitely fun and a way to learn the skill and dexterity without the risk of using a real knife or a metal trainer. They are a bit fragile though, so we use them on a carpeted floor because we've shattered several by dropping them on a hard surface.

This was a gift for my friend who likes to fidget with stuff. She was messing with twirling a real knife and I worried about her getting hurt. She was so thrilled to receive this in the mail the next day. She says she has learned some tricks, and fiddles with it daily.

EDIT: Already broken. This is trash. If you want something decent to learn on just get something from Nabalis. They have a couple models for double this price that way better and also available on Amazon. I'm revising my original 3 star rating down to 1 star. I got a squid industries trainer for my son, for those who don't know that's the original. This one is a cheap Amazon copy that costs less than half of the price. I liked his so much that I wanted one for myself so I picked up this cheap one. In the pics they look almost identical but this Keedas one is flimsy with a lot of play and the plastic it cheaper feeling and lighter. You can still have fun with it and learn balisong tricks but it's sort of difficult to feel because the weight is just a bit light. It's okay.. But for $50 you can get a squid industries one that's more than 10x better and just feels more fun to play with.

Purchased for black & red design. Nice weight for a plastic trainer. It has been dropped often and has not broken. Enjoyable figit toy. Compared to metal ones this one hurts less.

This Integral Channel Plastic Handle from the KEEDAS Store is a tool for which there is no obvious purpose. The product is described as a light-weight, multitool, and everything about the description is intentionally obtuse. Clearly, this is a device for practicing the art of handling a balisong, or butterfly knife, which is illegal in many jurisdictions. The knife originated in the Philippines. My Dad spent some time there during his time in the service, and I remember him telling me stories of people who could handle these knives with amazing skill. Acquiring such skill requires a lot of practice, and passing laws against these knives makes the knives very attractive, especially to young males. This "multitool" arrived in a white box with a small wrench for adjusting the tension, or drag, on the joints. No instructions were included, but I'm sure you can find tons of videos on YouTube, uploaded by "experts". It is basically lightweight balisong handles with a fake plastic blade. The handles are smooth with no flaws or burrs. The joints have brass bearings to make the action very smooth. I've deducted two stars because this is just a way for a company to separate fools from their money.

These guys are ok when you need to flip where they don't allow trainers. This keedas has washers and bushings. Allot of play, but what do you expect from a plastic balisong. Thanks

Item was purchased for a seven year old who was able to manage it and use it as intended. The make of the item is good sturdy quality. Safe for a child to use.
