A balisong trainer is a standard balisong / butterfly knife without a blade. It is 100 percent legal in the us and, unlike a knife, you can't cut yourself. The butterfly trainer will help you learn how to flip without getting injured but, note, you can develop bad habits if you stay on the trainer too long. For example, you can ingrain some poor flips that, with a trainer, won't hurt but, with a balisong, will hurt a lot. I recommend you to train with a trainer until you feel confident enough to move onto the thing-no more, no less.

Not everyone needs to want a practice butterfly knife. If you already own a balisong (but aren't that well at it), you can just use some electrical tape to tape up the blade. This will protect your hands from getting cut. You can also just use this tip to skip the trainer and get yourself a butterfly knife trainer.

If you don't own a butterfly knife yet or if you are wondering if flipping is for you, get a trainer and try it out.

Never rust
This enhanced butterfly trainer features a 5" unsharpened blade that is made of 440c stainless steel - it won't rust on you. It is 5.83 oz and well for beginners to learn with. Lighter balisongs flip faster than heavier ones and require more agility.
