The Tsunami is the pinnacle of flipping evolution from Squid Industries. Every design feature and dimension was carefully chosen to achieve the ultimate balance and comfort. This next-generation butterfly knife trainer is the epitome of peak performance.
The Story:
The Tsunami debuted in 2020 and was Squid Industries’ first titanium balisong. Originally starting out as a live blade, the Tsunami quickly became a staple in every competitive flipper’s arsenal. It required months of extensive research, trial and error, and dozens of iterations to create what we believe is the ideal flipping experience. The Tsunami was immediately received into the balisong community, and its popularity quickly propelled the creation of the Tsunami Trainer, which offers a similar flipping experience.
The Tsunami Trainer is crafted by our skilled machinists on our state-of-the-art Okuma M560 CNC machines. They’re then assembled by our elite assembly team to ensure that each and every unit is finely tuned to perfection. The Tsunami is our pride and joy, and I hope that you love flipping it as much as we enjoy making it.
