In terms of craftsmanship, mirror polishing is employed on the Hydra's handles, retaining the metal's original texture and luster. On the other hand, the handle material is made of high-hardness 7075 aluminum, ensuring that the Hydra balisong trainer won't easily deform or damage. This material also has excellent corrosion resistance.

Nabalis Hydra balisong training knife offers two blade styles to choose from: the Japanese Tanto Hydra trainer and training butterfly knife with Bowie blade.
