Squid Industries Mako Inked Black Trainer Butterfly Knife / Bottle Opener

Squid Industries Mako Inked Black Trainer Butterfly Knife / Bottle Opener

Experience the thrill of flawless flips and effortless bottle opening with the Squid Industries Mako V4.5 Trainer Butterfly Knife. Born from America’s top balisong innovator, this dual-purpose marvel brings next-level performance and everyday utility together in one sleek package.

Since 2016, Squid Industries has pushed the boundaries of balisong design, crafting trainers and knife tools with CNC precision, laser cutting, and double-disc grinding. The Mako V4.5 is our finest evolution yet. We’ve shifted the handle gills closer to the zen pins, so your fingers lock in perfectly on every spin. Slimming the gills gave us space to thicken the channel walls—resulting in rock-solid, virtually indestructible handles that still feel razor-sharp in your grip.

Made from feather-light 6061 T6511 aircraft-grade aluminum and featuring a stonewashed 304 stainless-steel “blade” bottle opener, the Mako V4.5 balances with surgical precision. It pivots on phosphor bronze washers for buttery-smooth, chatter-free flips, letting you master advanced aerial tricks or casual fanning with confidence. And when it’s time to pop open a cold one, the integrated bottle opener is right where you need it—no extra tools required.

At just 4.25 ounces, this trainer stays light in your pocket and light on your wrist, so you can bring it everywhere: tailgates, meetups, or impromptu practice sessions. Each unit is meticulously hand-assembled, thread-locked, and rigorously tested in the USA. You’ll receive your Mako V4.5 in a stylish gift box, complete with a microfiber pouch and Squid Industries sticker—everything you need to start flipping and sipping in style.

Whether you’re a seasoned flipper chasing the next trick or an EDC enthusiast craving a functional conversation piece, the Mako V4.5 delivers. Embrace the perfect fusion of form and function, engineered by flippers for flippers.
