Description
This model is a Balisong-style trainer/prop designed for practicing flipping tricks, hand coordination, and skill-based fidget use.
It is not a knife, not a weapon, and not designed for cutting, stabbing, striking, impact, or any harmful use. Do not use it against people, animals, or objects.
This model includes constructive safety limitations. The geometry and material strength are designed for the intended trainer/prop function at the original scale.
This model is not a real knife, not a weapon part, and is not designed or suitable for use as a weapon.
Assembly
The knife's design has been intentionally kept simple to make assembly as easy as possible. You only need a bit of filament to attach the handles to the blade. Be sure to align the handles correctly during assembly!
The holes for the filament pins are designed to be tight enough to hold everything securely on their own. I strongly recommend avoiding the use of super glue, as the pins could break and become difficult to remove. Without glue, the pins can be easily replaced if necessary.
Assembly Tip:
Position the blade and handles, then simply insert some filament into the holes. Cut it to the correct length, and use a bit of heat and pressure to thicken the ends. This prevents the pins from slipping out, and if one breaks, it can be quickly replaced!
