Nabalis products are balisong "trainers", NOT real knives. The "blade" in the pictures is dull and only meant to simulate the weight and feel of a real blade. These trainers are NOT weapons and are intended for recreational and educational purposes ONLY.
Orders generally ship within 24 hours. (Excluding weekends and holidays) Once an order ships, we'll send you a shipping confirmation email with the tracking number and link.
If you haven't received it, here are a few things to check:
If none of those apply, feel free to email us and include your order number so we can look into it.
-Korea
Korea now requires strict verification of the personal customs clearance code:Starting July 11, 2024, Cainiao will verify the accuracy of the customs clearance code for all orders to Korea (the code must be valid and match the recipient's registered name and phone number). Orders that fail this verification will not be able to be placed.When placing your order, please double check this information. We usually send a "shipping info confirmation" email on the same day - please review that.
-Turkey
To avoid extra customs procedures and fees, please provide your ID number (personal tax ID) when placing your order.
-Chile
Chile does not have an RUT (personal tax ID), so logistics providers are rejecting our orders there. We cannot ship to Chile without an RUT, so please provide this when placing your order.
This can be divided into two cases:
Typically, if a package is returned by the logistics provider due to prohibited items, we'll reship the same day we get the return notice and update the tracking. So check your email if you see a return, and contact us if you don't see an update.
Our logistics partners have had a very difficult time reliably shipping balisongs to Hawaii. Past Hawaii orders often required 3+ shipping attempts before successful delivery, and some were ultimately undeliverable, so we've had to close the Hawaii market.
Yes, we do ship to Canada, the UK, Germany, and Australia. For information on our customs clearance rates, please check our Customs Issues Page.If your package is unfortunately held up by customs, even after you've actively cooperated with the clearance process, we will provide a refund or reship the order. (So far, all reshipments have been successful.)
On the day you receive the package, please check the contents - if anything is missing, let us know right away and we'll reship it. After 7 days, we won't be able to do a reshipment.
Ceramic coating and Teflon are both coatings that add vibrancy, charm, and safety to balisongs. When compared to ceramic coatings, Teflon boasts superior adhesion, minimizing the occurrence of extensive peeling. We believe Teflon is the optimal coating material for balisongs, particularly in our mission to make well-balanced metal balisongs suitable for public use. To achieve this, we have implemented a comprehensive Teflon coverage design, imparting a delightful toy-like aesthetic while reducing the metallic sensation. However, it is important to note that this approach may result in some inevitable coating peeling at the collision points, such as the contact between the zinpin and the blade. Such occurrences are intrinsic to the material's characteristics.
When it comes to the manufacturing process, we've made some key upgrades to maintain the Vulp's precision while amping up the Teflon coating.
First off, we custom-made some extra masking screws. This prevents the coating process from messing with the accuracy. We also precisely controlled the coated surfaces of the screws during the spraying to keep things dialed in.
As for the bushings and blades, we really sweated the details there too. The bushings in the Teflon Vulp line are completely interchangeable, so no extra machining is needed to maintain the thickness. And the blades? Also fully interchangeable. You can swap them out without worrying about any tuning changes.
So in the end, you get a Teflon Vulp that's built like a tank - the precision is locked in, and the coating is rock-solid. All the little extras we put in really add up to make one heck of a high-performance solid balis.
I worked very hard to create this trainer with all of the design features I would have wanted when learning. Lots of testing was done by me, my friends, or just random balisong community members. I took as much feedback as I could and I am honestly very proud of the final version. I hope you enjoy it too!
