The Mako Bottle Opener is the optimal choice for flippers of all skill levels. The Inked Mako offers top-tier flipping performance and durability at an affordable price. The V5 features an updated handle design with jimping and significantly improved tolerances. It also has an upgraded hardened stainless steel trainer blade for superior durability. The Inked series features a PVD DLC coated blade along with matching black hardware.
The Mako Bottle Opener is one of our best-selling metal butterfly knife trainers. First introduced in June of 2019, the Mako has been highly acclaimed for its unique aesthetic, refined balance point, and excellent value. With community feedback over the past 5 years, we’ve continued to optimize and improve the Mako so that it can continue to redefine the standards of modern balisong flipping.
The Mako Bottle Opener V5 is the perfect balance between flipping performance, durability, and utility. It features channel design handles machined from 6061 T6511 aircraft-grade aluminum and a trainer blade cut from hardened 410 stainless steel. The hardware at the bottom of the handles serves as removable weights. The dorsal fin on the back of the blade is a training aid to provide tactile feedback for when the user is holding the handles too low. The “edge” side of the trainer blade is represented by the protruding tooth which also provides tactile feedback when the user ricochets against the wrong side of the trainer blade.
The Inked Series Mako features a PVD DLC coated blade and matching blade hardware. DLC, known as Diamond-Like-Carbon, is an extremely thin and durable coating that protects your blade from wear and corrosion. It also provides the Mako with an incredible sleek look with its matching black hardware.
If you’re looking for the ultimate bang-for-your-buck balisong trainer and EDC tool, then the Mako Bottle Opener is for you.
