## Description

Now you can practice with some of our most popular knife designs in relative safety - with our rubber training knives! Each trainer has been carefully fashioned to look as realistic as possible so they can be effectively used in solo practice, training drills, disarm drills, and demonstrations and any other activity where you want a reasonably close approximation of realism but not the extreme danger and risk associated with an actual knife.

Review: Realistic Training Knife - Highly Recommended - We bought the Cold Steel "Rubber Recon Tanto Training Knife" for practicing disarming moves in TaeKwonDo. This is a replica of Cold Steel 13RTK Recon Tanto Knife , having the same overall length but not weight. Here are my observations: Pros: + Large Size; 11.75" long (7" blade) + Good Grip; feels good in the hand, which makes it more realistic for "aggressor" + Solid; this is tough material that will hold up well (but see "Misc", below) Cons: - Not Balanced; much heavier on blade end Misc: * Firm Rubber; this is not very soft or flexible, which makes it great for stand-up fighting but less optimal for ground fighting or take-downs. I would not like to come down on this with it between my ribs and the ground. This is a great training aid that should last a very long time. Highly Recommended! CFH
Review: Outstanding Practice Knife. - I will rate this product on the three aspects that left a great impression during my practice drills: 1) Extremely sturdy. We put this practice blade to the test and it held up, to include full 5 minute sessions. 2) Grip is excellent. I expected the grip pattern to be quite low quality with minimal regard, but to my surprise the grip pattern was very well inlaid and gave a good grip even in heavily perpetrated hands. 3) Realistic Reverse Grip/ Forward Grip interchanging. I usually like to start my sessions in Forward Grip then during a live practice run quick swap to a Reverse Grip. This usually can be tricky if you have a cheap blade either from low quality grip handle or uneven balanced blade. I did not have many difficulties swapping grips and found this to be more realistic with a higher quality blade than a generic pocket knife balance. All in all this is a great practice knife for the price. I highly recommend this product to those who are interested in this martial art.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great TRAINING Knife
*by A***5 on December 4, 2012*

I love cold Steel training knives, and have used them for years. As a Kali/FMA instructor I like to use this particular model for knife training. First of all it is very sturdy. The blade doesn't bend like other training knives. We also use aluminum training knives, as well as wooden tanto knives. This model is ideal for the beginning student as it can feel like a real knife in the hand and it isnt so heavy. Great feel to the textured grip. Ideal for disarm training due to the sturdiness of the blade and holds up very well for everyday use. Overall very pleased with the product. One last thing, I have to commend Amazon for their incredible service! Ordered the knife on a Friday and received it the following Tuesday using Amazon's FREE super saver shipping! Thank you Amazon!
