This is gonna be an huge upgrade for me since my other one was a cheap one i found on amazon, I really love this company and I'll probably keep ordering here.

    Love this company! Quality products at great prices, and they care about their customers. I’ve bought 3 knives from them and they all are amazing str8 out the box 📦. The maintenance kit is a must have if you’re really into flipping and do it a lot, it’s got everything you need to keep your knife tuned and functioning. I own a Wiha Torx kit but this is just simple I love it, one size screw for everything and having the full size Torx Driver for these knives makes disassembly and Maintence easy. Obviously I’m a fan and think that this company is awesome, but as soon as you buy one you’ll know where I’m coming from. Thanks for all the tips and great products stay safe everyone 👊👍

    Concise and helpful. Great video, great company. Highly recommend their stuff. I own a Squiddy and a Triton an they're both quality flippers and are great for their respective price ranges. Not the mention the customer service. I was having an issue with the zen pin coming out and messaged them on their website, told me to send it to them and and they fixed it perfectly with no charge. I'm still not great at flipping, and not super knowledgeable on the technical details, so I can't promise my assessment will be on par with the opinions of others out there, but I personally love their products and am looking in to maybe buying a Krake Raken as my first higher-end purchase at some point in the future because I've heard great things about it.
    If you're looking for an in to balisong flipping, I couldn't recommend Squid's stuff enough.

      You'll need to press downward before unscrewing it. It's similar in style to a medicine bottle cap.

    Do you guys sell knives in China? I've been trying to find them on Taobao but no luck. I'm not sure what China's laws are like for these knives. I just bought some Chinese-brand trainer to start with, but I've heard so many good reviews of your knives and I'd love to get my hands on one.

    when i put it back together, putting the handle back on gets really tough sometimes, my guess is the washers are too big?? i just swap out the washers since usually one handle's washers are fine so i take one of each per handle
    am i doing something wrong?

    • @SquidIndustriesco
      @SquidIndustriesco  2 года назад

      You'll just need to use a little bit more force to get the washers in. You definitely need one washer on each side of the blade.

      Blemished trainers are models that didn't pass our inspection process due to cosmetic imperfections but are guaranteed to flip just as well as our new products.
      Blemished product sales are final (no returns accepted) but they do qualify for warranty (mechanical defects only). Blemished models may come with the following, but not limited to:
      Light scratches
      Light dents
      Discolored or faded anodizing
      Inconsistent blade finish
      Inconsistent handle finish/ textures
      Mismatching colored handles
      Flawed or missing laser engraving
      Different blade coating

      Tightening your screws down is the first solution. You could also try replacing your washers with new ones if your current washers are worn out. Contact us through our support page if you need further assistance and we will help you asap.
