SQUID INDUSTRIES NAUTILUS INKED PURPLE BUTTERFLY KNIFE
Squid Industries was founded in early 2016 to create top-notch balisongs with flipping as the central focus. I was impressed to learn that all their balisongs and balisong trainers are proudly made in the USA using precision manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, laser cutting, and double disc grinding. Even more impressive is that their industry-leading products are designed by and for flippers, which means they know what they do when creating quality balisongs.
Description:
The Nautilus is the most innovative Squid Industries product yet and is the first production balisong trainer to feature a channel-liner design with handle overlays.
Manufactured and assembled in the USA

- Added jimping to the handles to improve grip during ladder tricks.
- Changed the handle finish from matte bead blast to shiny satin.
- Laser engraving is now on the inside of the handle.
