The Tsunami is the pinnacle of flipping evolution from Squid Industries. Every design feature and dimension was carefully chosen to achieve the ultimate balance and comfort. This next-generation butterfly knife is the epitome of peak performance.

Description

The First Production Tsunami debuted in 2021 as our first titanium balisong. It required months of extensive research, trial and error, and dozens of iterations with community feedback to create the ideal flipping experience. Originally starting out as a live blade, the Tsunami is a staple in every competitive flipper’s arsenal and has established itself as the gold standard for premier flipping.

The Tsunami is crafted by our skilled machinists on our state-of-the-art Japanese Okuma M560 CNC machines. Each piece is then carefully hand finished with a bright satin appearance. The handles receive a beautiful jeweled texture on the inside of the handles, creating a unique shimmering aesthetic during flipping. All of the pieces are then carefully assembled with our signature in-house machine bushing system to ensure that each and every unit is finely tuned to perfection.

Every Tsunami is uniquely serialized and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity for product verification. This latest Production XI run, released in September 2026, features significantly improved fit and finish as well as improved handle tolerances. Each Tsunami come with 6 weight pins (3 for each handle) to use with the hidden modular weight pin system as well as a complimentary stainless steel hardware kit. 

The Tsunami is our pride and joy, and I hope that you love flipping it as much as we enjoy making it.
