Squid Industries Nautilus: Full Review and Comparison

this is my inked winter nautilus from squid industries. it’s a great trainer but it just doesn’t fit my preferences entirely.

Great review Jeffy! I try our best to make our products appeal to most flippers while being unique flippping experiences so I'm glad you were able to try all of our products to see which one was best for you. We prefer zen pins too but the tang pin design on the Nautilus was necessary because we felt it was stronger design for that particular handle style. -Lucas

[@jeffyzulu]

thanks lucas i really appreciate it! i’ve definitely learned a ton from your products and would recommend them to many people. now i just have to get my hands on a kraken trainer👀

[@squintygreeneyes]

they should send you a free one and me too while they are at it. christmas surprises anyone? lol

[@baliusero1513]

hey Ive been fliping a couple of months with a beat triton I got on the second hand market. Want to upgrade do u think its good for a intermeatdiate ?

[@user-hr3re3xj3g]

Yes but obviously the kraken trainer beats the nautilus, the naut is almost like a toy, plus the tolerances aren't that great. And for some reason, the kraken trainer is cheaper with better tolerances and feel.

[@ddog2756]

@@user-hr3re3xj3g well that’s all biased everyone has different flipping preferences the kraken is too heavy for my flipping style and the naut is perfect

Really nice review, thank you really much:)

[@everydayrandom5199]

I love flipping but can't get very expensive knives I only have one and it was a 12 dollar fake and it's broken so really hard to flip. So if you can recommend any knives around 20-30 dollars please tell me.

[@melonz4011]

Ive been using the "Andux Land Folding Stainless Steel Flip Player Lightweight CS/HDD45 (Black)" on amazon and other people also recommend it.

[@jeffyzulu]

i can’t recommend anything under $50. the best you can get around there is a squiddy.

[@boywithbali3830]

Krake Raken trainer or Nautilus trainer?

Nautilus

it depends on preference

if you like g10 or aluminum or lighter or heavier also tang pin and zen pin

jeffyflips you like it less than the squiddy?

[@jeffyzulu]

lol you can’t compare the squiddy to the nautilus. the squiddy is not a knife. it’s plastic. it’s like saying “so you like your benchmade 940 less than that plastic butter knife?” obviously the naut is better than the squiddy what did you expect?

@@jeffyzulu im aware its just like, the idea of even doing a bite handle chaplin is mindboggling to me, then again idk if some knives are made to be able to do that safely at the base before the edge starts.
