limited availablility
Can anybody tell me why I can only get the balisong trainers on the website?
In fact, most of the kits I had lined up that I wanted to purchase are now unavailable. |

Hi-
That's a very good question. Our reasoning behind the model revision when we (re)introduced the new Typhoon was to focus on designs that could be super tricked out, but still safe for beginners to flip. Let's face it, there are plenty of custom and factory sharpened balisong knives that one can buy and flip out here. We have the new Typhoon Competition Trainer coming later this year, and a new (standard washer) style of Typhoon Trainer, which will be available in a few weeks. (called the Typhoon Twister) If you're unable to find items that you need, or if you want to check the stock status on something that we're restocking, please call us and we'll let you know when we'll have it. In fact, we're happy to help! 877-25-KNIFE That's our toll-free, if you need us. Thank you! Alex __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |

Hi Dave,
We're now 100% specialized in customizable trainers and show level flippers. All of our current and future models, with the exception of the paddle trainers, will feature a unsharpened, yet fully precision ground blade. Here's the basic question: Would you be more prone to flip a bali that "would" or "would not" cut you? With our concept, we feel that we can promote more "flipping" with our models. The fun factor is increased because average guys, like me, can try stuff and still keep our fingers and toes. In fact, we plan to introduce several new blade styles that we think will compete in look and styling to any on the market today, only they'll be safe to flip. The first edition Typhoon Trainer is a perfect example. You'll look twice at the edge, trust me. Alex __________________ Alex Whetsell [======]~~~~~~~> Atlantavirtual.com Atlanta NOC |

Ive seen a few on somebodies website and they WERE sharp. I would buy one if it was sharp as I have always love the balis but I m not interested in trainers. I dont sit around flippin it and when i do I can do it without hurting myself
Thats too bad. Thanks for answer. Dave PS. it seems youve had more people asking why they cant buy something other than a trainer than asking FOR trainers to me. |

Well I'VE been trying to get the Competition Trainer for about a year and a half now so not everyone is interested in the sharp blades. I want the big dull holes in the blade obvious trainer blade so no one mistakes it for a "real knife" when I play with it among others. It tends ot keep everyone more sedate that way.
Plus just sharpen the blade that comes in the kit if you want it sharp. It's not that dull to begin with and just lacks a secondary bevel. It'll take a little more work, but it's more than manageable. __________________ Kevin Allen Chamblee, GA |
