Haha I literally dropped the trainer on myself while barefooted once. In that moment I was suddenly very glad that most sharp knives are illegal in Denmark. ---

I just dug up the old trainers again, I apparently have three! Both of the squidtrainers have started to creak though, I guess I need to figure out what to do to remove that. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/e/3/9e342bca867798a5da8a7290e1ac074b2d29c4a6.jpeg) ---

I gave up on them mostly because fixed blades are really legal in California and butterflies not so much. I got my first one form the factory down town Los Angeles before the customs people ran them out of town. I had the utility and then the Wee Hawk. Good times! ---

I’ve played with them since I was a kid. Not really my favorite for edc but I enjoyed flipping a lot for awhile. Had a bunch of Benchmade and Spyderco but couldn’t justify keeping them. I used to do a think where I’d throw trapeze, flip a balisong, cut the string, and switch to 4a lol. Good times. ---

been into these since the mid 90s, Benchmade is the best in my opinion, they also keep getting harder to come by. ![20230614_130210](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/2/b/c2bcdeaf55cacc5d7a3dea8c4b08fcc0f6f45354.jpeg) ---
