Product Description

Now you can practice with some of our most popular knife designs, in relative safety, with our new rubber training knives. We have rubber training versions of our Peace Keeper™ I, the R1 Military Classic, Recon Tanto, and the Black Bear Classic. Each 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. The Santoprene rubber blades are soft enough to prevent the likelihood of most bodily injury. They do however, have a level of firmness that might cause injury to the face or the eyes, so it is recommended that appropriate eye protection or a fencing mask is utilized at all times when using a Cold Steel rubber training knife.

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!

I have at least two students that will dive for this one over the K-Bar style knives I have. This is great for practicing slashing, stabbing and it's agile style really makes it a great slasher. Cold Steel products are both durable and fun to train with.
