Chrome Butterfly Trainer | SHOGUN

Butterfly Trainer | Chrome | Blades USA – Train safely in style

The Blades USA Butterfly Trainer is a specialised training knife for anyone wanting to learn the art of flipping. With a blade length of 8.26 cm and an overall length of 20.96 cm, this is the perfect trainer. The 3Cr13 steel blade is intentionally blunt for safe training. The silver-coloured aluminium handles provide the right balance when practising tricks.

Experience from the Shogun team

We have extensively tested this trainer during training sessions. The weight of 175 grams feels perfectly balanced. The smooth pivot points allow for complex movements without sticking. After hours of practice, we did notice that the screws can become a bit loose.

Performance and sharpness of this butterfly trainer

The material is 3Cr13 steel – a reliable type of steel that can take a beating. The plain-edge cutting edge is intentionally blunt for safety. This trainer perfectly mimics the weight and movement of a real butterfly knife. The blade shape is classic for realistic training.

Grip and ease of use

The aluminium handles offer excellent grip during flipping. The locking mechanism works smoothly and prevents the knife from closing unintentionally. The pivot mechanism is robustly constructed. Please note: regularly check that the screws are still tight after intensive use.

Who is this butterfly trainer suitable for?

Perfect for beginners who want to learn flipping safely without risk of injury. Experienced users also use this trainer to practise new tricks. The trainer is ideal for use at home or in locations where sharp knives are not permitted. Collectors appreciate this training knife as part of their collection.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel is reasonably rust-resistant but does benefit from an occasional drop of oil on the pivot points. Check the screws after each session – they can loosen with intensive use. Damage from dropping is not covered by warranty. Store the trainer in a dry place for optimal lifespan.
