Developing an adapter for Blade Bottle Battle (BBB) was a challenge that went beyond simply developing a product.


Our goal was to provide innovative equipment that not only improves the practicality of knife self-defense, but also makes the equipment environmentally friendly and safe.


I would like to talk about the challenges we faced along the way and how we solved them.


1. Reduce repair costs and protect the environment


The first challenge was to reduce repair costs associated with equipment deterioration and damage.


With conventional tools, if the blade was damaged, it was often difficult and expensive to repair or replace.


To solve this problem, we developed an adapter for the handle, using a plastic bottle as the blade.


This innovative approach allows plastic bottles to be easily replaced if damaged, eliminating repair costs entirely.


Furthermore, by reusing plastic bottles, we are also contributing to environmental conservation. We were able to reduce disposable equipment and contribute to promoting recycling.


2. The importance of design


The next challenge we faced was the design of the equipment.


Many existing products are made using mass production molds, making it difficult to express individual designs.


However, we felt that for the BBB adapter, design was more important than just functionality.


We pursued a unique design that could not be achieved through a mold, paying particular attention to the shape and appearance of the adapter.


The result is a more attractive, easier to use product, greatly expanding its potential for widespread adoption.


3. Realization of a low-cost version


Secondly, it was important to make it affordable for everyone.


If sports equipment is expensive, many people cannot access it, which hinders widespread use.


So we managed to set the selling price of the adapter at 1,500 yen.


This pricing makes it easy for more people to purchase, bringing us one step closer to realizing BBB's philosophy of "self-defense that anyone can easily learn."


4. Thorough pursuit of safety


Finally, it was important to develop equipment that would allow people, especially children, to compete safely.


To minimize the impact of the impact of the equipment on children, the handle is 10cm long and has an air hole at the top.


These thorough safety measures have made it possible to enjoy the sport more safely, and have resulted in equipment that children can use with confidence.




Conclusion


The current adapter, which was completed after much trial and error, is more than just a product; it is the result of our philosophy and passion.


It is the culmination of all our efforts and ingenuity to date, and a key element in supporting BBB's future.


We will continue to work hard to bring joy to even more people.


We appreciate your support and understanding.
