The Squiddy-WH is a collaboration between Squid Industries and Will Hirsch. Built upon the same platform as our popular Squiddy-B, the Squiddy-WH adds both improved functionality and new incredible aesthetics. The handles are CNC machined from solid plates of orange Acetal with a textured pattern on the faces and jimping on the ends for additional grip. The black Acetal trainer blade sports the same Squiddy Silencer O-Ring and weight mod as the Squiddy-B, but has a completely reimagined fox paw blade designed by Will Hirsch.

With the help of the community, this second production release of the Squiddy-WH butterfly knife/balisong trainer has the following upgrades:

  • Improved handle rounding for better comfort and control
  • Deeper jimping for better grip during ladders
  • Removed one jimping line on the inside of the handles to improve contact with the silencer o-ring
  • Added bite handle indication grooves on the blade to provide tactile feedback while flipping

Due to the nature of the plastic materials our Squiddy Collection are made from, it is normal to experience handle play and tap. We prioritize tolerances at the washers as it should be as tight as possible while still allowing free swinging handles.

It is completely normal and can be cleaned out. Squiddy and all of our products experience this black/brown liquid coming out as it is the result of the bronze phosphorous material of the washer mixing with the lubricant used.

Squiddy requires basic maintenance, such as reapplying Loctite, lubricant, and cleaning the hardware every two weeks or as needed. You can find all the tools required in our Balisong Maintenance Kit. If you are unsure on how to perform maintenance on your Squiddy, you can watch our YouTube video playlist, “Balisong Maintenance Tips”.

The Squiddy-WH is completely CNC machined which is a significantly more precise manufacturing technology than the injection molded products of other low-end brands. The Squiddy-WH and all other Squid Industries balisongs are both designed and made in the USA. Each and every Squiddy-WH is hand finished and then delicately assembled by a skilled craftsman so that each and every unit that is created provides the best flipping experience possible.
