The Champion 2022 butterfly knife is the best Champion knife from Valorant in my mind.
And I have made its replica in 2022 once it was released.
The Champion knife 2022 I made is not only a good game knife replica, but also a nice balisong trainer for starters.
See how did the Balisong Flipping on Youtube said about it.
And how Seongbae Balisong said about it.
Since there are some sellers trying to mislead buyers into buying their cheap Champion knife replicas, I will make a comparison of my Champion knife replica and their cheap version.
Here are the main difference
1. Size
The Champion balisong I made is a full-size balisong trainer, the unfolded length is 25CM/9.8''. It is just suitable for flipping. The cheap one is a mini-size with a 20CM/7/9" unfold length.
2. Material
The Champion knife I made is made of prime steel and aluminum alloy. There are spacers and bearings inside the handle to give a smooth flipping effect.
You can clearly see the mechanical parts of my version.
As for the cheap one, it's made of zinc alloy, which is not so durable for flipping. Especially because it doesn't use screws to connect the blade and handles. They just use soft zinc alloy rivets to fix them.
3. Flipping Ability
You can easily use my Champion knife as a balisong trainer and do tricks with it.
As for the cheap one, it's quite loose, and a little too small to do tricks.
Check the picture to see how loose it is.
4. Weight
My version is 167g/5.88Oz in weight.
The cheap one is 91g/3.2Oz in weight.
5. Package
I use a specificlly desined gift carton to pack my Champion knife red version and a wood box for the black blade version. Both of them will nicely protect the knives inside.
Package of the black blade version comparison. (I made the black version 2 years ago and there is still some elder stock, so the package is not upgraded to a new design)
Besides the exquisite carton also makes the red blade Champion knife an ideal gift for Valorant gamers.
The cheap one uses a plastic card box as a package, which always gets damaged during international transportation.
Here are the main differences between my Champion knife replica and the cheap one.
I won't say you should choose my version. You can make the choice according to your preference and budget.
But it's unacceptable if anyone else is selling you the cheap champion knife with my pictures and description.
