Blemished Products

Blemished models are units that didn't pass our inspection process due to cosmetic imperfections but are guaranteed to flip just as well as our new products. 

Blemished product sales are final (no returns accepted) but they do qualify for warranty (mechanical defects only). Please refer to the pictures for an example of a blemished model. Some of these blemished models may have varying handle versions. Blemished models come with a box and may come with the following, but not limited to:

  • Light scratches
  • Light dents
  • Discolored or faded anodizing
  • Inconsistent blade finish
  • Mismatching colored handles
  • Flawed or missing laser engraving
  • Sharpening defects

Each and every Squid Industries balisong is hand assembled and tested to ensure that each unit is an exceptional flipper. Balisongs come thread locked.

Extra Blemished Products

Extra Blemished models have more severe cosmetic imperfections that can include:

  • Surface Rust
  • Staining
  • Dents
  • Chips
  • Scratches

Description

Crafted with 7075 Aluminum handles and 440C Heat-treated stainless steel blade.
