    Product Description

    Adjust the balance of your Nabalis Vulp Pro balisong trainer with these custom-made Zippy mods. The mods consist of weighted and unweighted blade inserts which add blade weight, and pivot plugs which reduce the handle weight by replacing the stock steel hardware, while keeping the G10 inlays secure through a friction-fit. The weighted insert houses up to 3x removable tungsten weights which enable the Vulp trainer to have a more neutral (less handle biased) balance profile when using Slim Caps to protect the handles while flipping. Includes 2x cosmetic side panels. Plus, the bottle-opener insert make accidental bite-handle chaplins less painful!

    Features

    • "Unweighted" blade insert adds mass for more neutral balance.
    • Optionally included are 4x Pivot Plugs which replace the stock steel hardware at the base of the handles. This reduces handle bias while keeping the G10 inlays secure via a friction fit.
    • Includes 2x cosmetic side panels with chevrons, and 1x side panel with the Zippy "Z" logo in a random color.
    • Included weighted insert houses up to 3x removable tungsten weights to provide additional adjustable balance configurations, and enable favorable balance profiles when using Slim Caps to protect the handles.
    • Plugs bottle opener for less painful accidental bite-handle chaplins.
    • Fits perfectly in the Nabalis Vulp Pro Trainer with an "edge lip" so it won't fall off on hard drops.
    • Made of a shatter-proof polyurethane.
    • Add-on optional Zippy Slim Caps for only $5 (30% Discount) to protect the handles of the Vulp and add color.

St Patrick's Day Bali

Bought the Vulp Pro for my B-day which is on St Patrick's day. I think it turned out awesome. Flips even better now. Shipping was really fast too. Little tip for those that like the look of the handle plugs but want more handle weight, I added about a BB worth of fishing weight putty between the plugs. Gives it about the same weight as the pivot screws.

A beginner with balance! Thankfully!

I received my balance inserts today for my Vulp Pro exactly like pictured above for this product! I love red and black so that pic alone sold me! But the way the rollovers seems easier and I can chaplin now effortlessly! I mixed and matched everything provided and found my best 'balance'! Part of learning a new hobby like this is that you have to like the 'feel' (weight, balance, etc.) regardless of looks for a balisong. These inserts were magically that answer! Will be back here for sure. It's really nice to be able to customize my trainer to my preference! ❤️

Omg

The glow in the dark against the black and red vulp pro looks stunning! The actual craftsmanship put into the little details of making these is so impressive. The slim caps actually add to grip but are thin, unlike what rubber would be. He even included a spine insert without holes. I really appreciate this because I wasn't looking to change balance or weight. Shipping was also very quick. Even allowed me to contact him with small changes. Will forever be buying these products

International shipping

International Shipping

Zippy ships international, but the buyer accepts the risk for lost, damaged, or seized packages-it is the customer's responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations when importing and using this product. It is the customer's responsibilities to be aware of all import requirements when ordering, including but not limited to paying customs/import/duty fees. All international customers: it is your responsibility to looking up your country's customs requirements when you order to ensure you are in compliance, and interface with your country's customs and pay all associated fees if necessary.

For EU customers, be advised that customs will apply a VAT fee of approximately 30€ for importing products that exceed 100€. This is subject to change depending on up-to-date EU regulations; it is the customer's responsibility to verify this at the time of your purchase.

For questions and concerns (looking at you, Aussies), please contact me at zippybalisong@gmail.com. If the Zippy is shipped in 2 packages, you will need to assemble the trainer following these instructions:

My package hasn't arrived, or my package is lost; what should I do?

Noooooo! Don't panic yet. So far I've never actually had a package get lost in the mail, although delays with USPS aren't unheard of, especially if the shipping is international. If you're a US-customer and your package is lost in the mail, appears lost in the mail, or was marked delivered but wasn't actually delivered, call the USPS immediately (1-800-275-8777)**. The faster they get on the case, the more likely you'll reach a timely resolution and get your Zippy ASAP. You can email me about it, but once I ship it out, I don't have access to any additional information that you don't--I'm just going to refer you to call the shipping carrier for resolution.

**Some tips when calling USPS:
(1) Do not use speakerphone, as this will confuse the automated system.
(2) From the automated menu, say "Package," and follow the prompts with your tracking number.
(3) When it offers "visual mode," I recommend you use it. It's faster and more streamlined.
(4) At the end of the automated system which will track your (delayed) package, say "agent" or "representative" so you can speak to an agent and explain the issue.
(5) Sometimes they only allow the sender to open an investigation. If that's the case, shoot me an email asking for the shipping label, and then use the return address information on the shipping label to provide the sender information.

If you are an international customer and your package hasn't arrived yet, contact your local postal service that interfaces with USPS to evaluate the situation--worst case scenario you may need to reach out to customs to see if your package made it through or was seized. It is the customer's responsibility to comply with all local laws and regulations when importing my products.

Hopefully your package is just delayed (this has always been the case historically when a package appears lost), but if it is actually lost in the mail, I'm very sorry. Believe it or not, it's just as heartbreaking for me as it is for you, since I make every balisong myself and put a lot of love into each one. Unfortunately, I am unable to take responsibility for packages that get lost in the mail (or seized by customs). I offer a variety of shipping options which have different levels of pricing and reliability/risk, and it's up to you to choose what is best for you. I am unable to replace lost packages for free, since each product takes me a considerable amount of time and financial investment to make; I'm not a big Amazon company that manufactures their stuff overseas. Thank you for understanding.

Warranty & Returns

Warranty

If part of the Zippy breaks within 1 year of purchase and it affects functionality, I will replace it for free. Contact me at zippybalisong@gmail.com

In order to qualify for this policy, the issue must affect the function of the balisong. Normal wear and tear (including scratches and dings caused by repeated impact) is not covered by this warranty unless it affects the functionality of the balisong or I determine it to be the result of a manufacturing defect. In order to reduce cost for the customer, the Diode is not covered under the Zippy Warranty.

Worn M2 x 0.4mm nylock nuts are consumables and should be replaced from time to time if you disassemble frequently--these are not covered by the warranty.

Returns & Order Cancellation

I do not accept returns or refunds. All orders are final. Packages that are delayed or lost in the mail are not my responsibility. Many of my products are made-to-order and by the time you contact me to cancel, I may have already begun working on your parts. I am a one-man operation and returns are far too time consuming and costly to deal with. I appreciate you supporting my small business.
