Umarex Elite Force Butterfly Training Knife

Umarex Elite Force Training Butterfly Knife (EF168)

Learn balisong (Butterfly Knife) flips safely - the Umarex Elite Force EF168 gives you the real feel without the risk. See attached videos for all the cool tricks and skills you can learn!

Bring all the thrill of flipping a balisong without the risk. The Umarex Elite Force EF168 is a purpose-built training butterfly knife that looks, feels, and handles like the real thing but uses a blunt, dummy blade so you can learn tricks, build hand dexterity, and fidget safely. Because real butterfly (balisong) knives are illegal in New Zealand, this trainer is the perfect legal alternative for hobbyists, collectors, and anyone wanting to learn the art of manipulation without carrying a weapon.

If you’ve ever watched balisong videos and wanted to try the moves yourself, the EF168 makes that possible - without sharp edges, legal risk, or the worry of serious injury. It closely replicates the weight, balance, and action of a working butterfly knife to teach muscle memory and hand coordination, while the safe dummy blade means you can practise anywhere (at home or during downtime) - always subject to local rules.

Perfect for fidgeting, practicing, and skill-building

This trainer is equally at home as a focused practice tool and as a tactile fidget toy:

• Great for learning balance, timing and wrist control - ideal for beginners who want to build skills safely.
• A satisfying fidget for hands-on people who enjoy mechanical, tactile toys.
• Useful as a stage prop for film/theatre, cosplay, or photos - looks authentic in close-up shots yet is safe to handle.
