Squid Industries balisongs and balisong trainers are proudly made in the USA using precision manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, fiber laser cutting, and double disc grinding. Our industry-leading products are designed by and for flippers. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported us in any way. ❤️

No ones doin it like Squid is. So proud to rep this company
Thanks Ollie! It's an honor to have you on our #SquidSquad team. -Lucas
I love how it’s not just a company you guys have built but a great community as well
The Kraken is by far my favorite Bali, out of my current 5
Thank you everyone at Squid Industries for making great balisongs for us ❤
Started flipping on Xmas. I am now obsessed, making my way into intermediate level, and bought my first squid industries product in the Squiddy-B! Thank you guys so much!
Our pleasure! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the Squiddy-B 😊
@@SquidIndustriesco It’s not here yet but I know I’ll enjoy it!
A huge reason why I love squid so much! They're passionate about what they do and they are flippers themselves! Can't wait for a krake Raken live blade. Keep it up guys so excited for the future 🙌 💯
God, as a guy who is about to graduate college with a degree in CNC machining you all make it seem like its such a maticlly fun and artistic place to work and it makes me wanna look into where yoh guys are based out of cause ur knives have gotten me serious about flipping
I just bought a og squiddy and i can say that compared to amazon knives that after getting used to it. It is my favorite balisong ive ever owned
love this. as someone getting further into the hobby im happy to see squid making these awesome products at an affordable price range.
It’s cool that Will filmed some of this
Best of the Best. You guys are awesome!

Gotta say been a fan of squid industries for a while. Keep up the amazing work guys!!
After watching this video I need a squid industries balisong. This is a team that deserves support.
Much love from Canada y'all, I picked up a Krake Raken trainer from you guys back in December and have nothing but good things to say, it's my favorite flipper I own.
Great story and humble beginnings.
Always a big squid fan! Amazing work to the entire team over there. Proud to be a customer :D
Awesome video! I look forward to seeing how Squid Industries will innovate in the future. Keep making amazing products!

I just bought a Mako 4.5 trainer today at Blade. So stoked...super nice people and great products!
Will you ever add bushings to the squid trainer and the triton? Also love what you are doing here.
Dream job
I just got my inked triton v2 its an absolute beauty its not leaving my side :D
Love the video Lucas hope to buy a Mako soon keep up the good content 👍
Just got the squidy and brooooooo it is so smooth( just like butter) and it is just the best and for some reason smells like lemon sent but that just adds to the experience but in all realness just keep doing what your doing
im glad you guys call them balisong! butterfly knife is fine but its awesome to use its cultural name.
Im getting the triton i currently have the squidy it is really good i also have a nabalis lightning. Cant wait until it gets here
I wish I can be a squid industries employee one day 🦑
I would pay to work that loll
Im just about to buy my first balisong, the Sqiuddy B, waiting for Wednesday :).
They sent me new handles free of charge. I’m definitely coming back to buy more stuff
when you first start flipping squid seems expensive. but when you look for something cheaper you realize that this IS the cheapest option. For the quality ofc
Great video
Thank you! -Lucas
i think this needs to be an ad
My number one balisong atm is the sqt! How did yall make an aluminum washer balisong flip so dang good🤔🙌🔥🤘
Great video! Lucas is so charming I would date him tbh not in a weird way tho... anyways proud to support squid!!
Agreed
It feels like yesterday that u/squidmaster23 was posting on r/balisong about making his own trainers. You've come a long way, Lucas! You don't know me, but I'm proud of you! (And a _very_ happy owner of a Mako and a Nautilus, from Greece ✌️😁)
Thanks so much Alkis! I really appreciate that. -Lucas
I mean, y'all made the Krake Raken. That's good enough for me
I'm gonna order a blue mako when it comes in stock
🤘🤠
I just bought a mako v4.5
Hey, i was just wondering what do you think would be the best knife to buy witch is kinda cheap?
Lucas is the Steve Jobs of balisong but where jobs lost sight of compassion Lucas excels.
Where can I buy the live knives? All of them are sold out
do yalls hoodies have a scratchy sound to em or are they more clothly? im asking cuz i plan on ordering one but i have a sound sensitivity to scratchy polyester
i wish i could buy a squid industries trainer
Please, we need a way to get squid industry products in Australia :(
glidr is in australia, look around for a arctic balisong, they are sick!
i like flippy knife
Hey i just received my swordfish which i love btw but when i watched the will hirsh review he said that they were going to be coming with extra bushing and weights but I didn’t not receive anything but the Bali itself
Send us an email at info@squidindustries.co and we can help sort it out for you!
@@SquidIndustriesco just did thank you very much for your help
I just want to ask, will the yellow or gold nautilus be available, I’ve been wanting it for quite some timw
Yes, we do have plans for that this summer!
That’s amazing, I’m really looking forward to it
Hey Squid Industries, is there a way I can visit the company and test out the balisong I like before buying. I live really close.
Hey guys im from Australia i have tried to order a trainer off ebay and it got confiscated in customs obviously bc it hasnt come and we got our money back will the plastic squiddiys come thru legaly and is it suitable for me an 11 year old👍🏼

Thanks for letting us know!
Check out our about us here: www.squidindustries.co/pages/about-us-1
And timeline here: www.squidindustries.co/pages/squid-timeline
Can you please start selling to Australia
As much as I would want them to as well (cuz I live there as well), I don’t think much of the products will get through TSA. Hopefully in the future tho 🙏
Is there any homage to its origin?
Maybe a little over price but good knifes
can i get a job there in 4 years?
i love this company and what they do and i upmost respect that but i don't have that much money and even the squiddy u is alot for me, but when i do get the money 100% i want this
Check out our Calamari Clearance section if you're looking for our products that are sold at a discount!
@@SquidIndustriesco will do thx
nếu tôi ko nhìn nhầm thì có ng việt trong team đúng ko admin? if i'm not mistaken, there're some vietnamese person in this team right?
Đúng vậy, nhiều nhân viên của chúng tôi là người Việt Nam!
@@SquidIndustriesco Really!? I'm so proud to see vietnam also contribute this great channel/company. Your channel makes the balisong industries more famous and popular. Thank you!
So TV is vietnamese omg
Will there be an Option in the Future for european People Like me to buy squid products ? Its really expensive to import from the us.
I feel ya. Customs hurt a bit with the Mako, but it absolutely destroyed my wallet with the Nautilus because it was on a different price tier or something and/or because UPS talked to customs themselves, supposedly to expedite the process. Big oof. I'm also waiting for more options.
@@AlkisGD If i would buy a Mako v4.5for 99$ and Ship it to Germany, it ends Up at 169$ incl. Taxes and so on
@@JanniehGoesCrazy - I don't remember the exact numbers, but customs added ~€40 to my Mako and something like ~€120 to my Nautilus. That's _just_ the customs fees, separate from the shipping costs. Customs fees _hurt!_
@@AlkisGD in germany the taxes are calculated on the productprice including shipping costs. that makes the whole thing even more expensive ....
Omg THAI VINH HUYNH wheres he from?
Thai Vinh is from Saratoga, California!
If i get an A on my exam my dad buys me a squiddy wish me luck thanks
Hope you ace your exam!
Prysma
Thankfully they are still wearing masks for our safety!
This video was filmed last year when our county still had the mask mandate in effect. -Lucas
:o
i would buy one if it dint cost a whole minimum wage plus shipping, i tent to use the cheapiest balisongs i can get, and this leads to me not having such a great flipping experience.....
Are you gonna fix the nautilus tap problems?
I think they did with the naut v2, did they not?
@@culpritflips7124 a lot of people still say that it gets tap
@@theozr._5428 oh, I've heard from others that the tolerances are alot better on the v2e
@@culpritflips7124 they say that the v1 you just flipped and it got tap. And the v2 if you drop it once slightly on hard surface it gets tap
@@culpritflips7124 better but not as it should be for the price
can i have one for free like very cheap bs I ask my parent for one but then they said no, and I love ur company so keep making balisong i wish u luck!
If we call Eldon Talley balisong Jesus, we need a name for Lucas.
squid master
Yes yes, friends and happiness but they still use ti pivots in the tsunami while those strip easily. If you look at the serif, the looks and fanciness are all gone and they actually put the details in the flipability and not the looks and the triton is 150 bucks for a not fantastic knife without bushings while the prysma, the artic, the zephyr all have bushings and are way better for the price. The products they make have a lot more impact on the community than all everything else. I'm not hating I just don't like these things.
id say the triton is getting replaced with the mako as far as the spot for that price point goes
Bushings where?
There are bushings in our Nautilus and Krake Raken Trainer V2.5. We unfortunately didn't get time to shoot any footage of bushings for this video😥
@@SquidIndustriesco 💀💀💀
mfw a basic squiddy costs $90
affordable my ass
am sry tho
I just can't respect the price for some of them not because its not worth it definitely is, I know why its so much but like I bought a nautilus and 10 minutes out of the box tap and blade rub worst than anything I've ever owned. It just sucks because I know everyone who bought the nautilus got it fine and nothing was wrong with there's. Just a shame I was never able to send mine back when the week I was able to but my dad said no lmao. You guys make great knives, I got a squiddy and it was really good yet it broke from beating it that was my fault so as of rn I have 1 knife and have bought 4 lmao don't have the naut anymore never touched it because of the tolerances then just never found it when I went to sell it which sucks because it took about 5 months to pay for lmao I'm stupid. I plan to buy a krake raken 2.5 live something
Nah man the v1 nauts all had that problem. Some people were just extremely lucky lmao.
Hey Colivader, I'm very sorry about the Nautilus tap and rub issues you're having. If you can somehow convince your father to let you send it in, we will retune it back up to factory new. -Lucas
@@SquidIndustriesco Hey Lucas, as of right now I do not possess my naut and currently do not know where it may be, my parents cleaned my drawers and I think it was lost from that definitely my fault lmao very unfortunate. Also this has the be the nicest thing I've seen a company say thank you so much for the offer.
Amazing balisongs,
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE DELIVERY SERVICE,
Otherwise good work ur doin here
:)
that intro already is cap
If u love it then make it cheap bro
