About this print
A practice balisong, also known as a butterfly knife trainer, featuring a cyberpunk Arasaka logo aesthetic on the blade. Balisong trainers are used for learning flipping and manipulation techniques without the risk associated with a live-blade knife. PETG or ABS handles the repeated mechanical stress of practice sessions better than PLA, as both offer greater toughness at pivot points and thin moving parts.

This is a Balisong for practice. It has a counterweight installation position. Of course, it feels good without it. For both the shaft and the stop lever, screws or brass rods can be used. Here I use M4*16 screws as the shaft, but M4*14 is the most suitable length, and the stop lever uses M3*8 screws. The counterweight of the blade is a 4*32 brass rod.
When you insert the counterweight copper rod, you can use a vise to force it in, but it may stretch the material to deform it. It is best to use boiling water or a hair dryer to soften the material so that it can be inserted more easily.
Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
