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.

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!

Iā€™ll sell you one if mine when you have the funds, I really donā€™t use them enough to justify what I paid for them originally.

Thatā€™s actually the cheapest one, though I found one of super good quality from somewhere other than Amazon/eBay/aliexpress.

Iā€™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 couldnā€™t justify keeping them. I used to do a think where Iā€™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.
