Squid Industries – KRMTBK – Krake Raken V3 Dual Tone – Balisong – 410 SS Stonewash Tanto – 7075-T6511 Aluminum – Black

Description The Squid Industries Krake Raken V3 Dual Tone Trainer represents the latest evolution of one of the most respected butterfly trainers in the balisong community. Built on the same platform as the renowned Krake Raken live blade, the V3 trainer incorporates thoughtful upgrades based on extensive feedback from dedicated flippers and enthusiasts. Precision machining, carefully tuned balance, and premium materials make this trainer a standout choice for anyone seeking a professional-grade balisong trainer designed for smooth flipping and long-term durability. Manufactured and assembled in the United States, the Krake Raken V3 Trainer is engineered with performance at its core. The handles are crafted from high-strength 7075-T6511 aluminum alloy in a channel construction, providing excellent rigidity while keeping overall weight manageable for fast and controlled manipulation. The distinctive dual-tone anodized finish adds a striking visual contrast while maintaining the corrosion resistance and durability expected from premium anodized aluminum. A redesigned 410 stainless steel trainer blade further enhances the V3 platform. Hardened and cryogenically treated for added strength, the trainer blade features a stonewashed finish that resists wear and maintains a clean appearance over time. Squid Industries also refined the handle texture, adding deeper milling patterns and larger jimping sections to improve grip and control during complex flipping routines. A side slot has been added to the handles to further increase tactile feedback and grip security. Performance is refined through a precision-tuned bushing pivot system, allowing the trainer to maintain smooth rotation while minimizing blade play. The mathematically calculated weight distribution creates a light handle bias that many experienced flippers prefer for advanced tricks, aerials, and consistent transitions. Combined with a latchless design and zen pin construction, the Krake Raken V3 Trainer delivers a streamlined profile that emphasizes balance, durability, and reliability.
