Cold Steel Rubber Training Military Classic Knife , Black

I bought this knife for my 11-year-old son, who runs around in the woods like Rambo and carries it with him during Airsoft battles. Yesterday, he even attached it to the end of one of his cap gun rifles with duct tape as a bayonet. It's not a toy (which I'm saying mainly so the over-reacting types don't act like I'm letting my son run around in the backyard with a steak knife), but it's fine for kids 10+ to play with responsibly. It's not sharp, even at the point. It is heavy, so throwing it at somebody's head could hurt. If you have a kid that tends to be rough with other kids, it might not be a good item to put in their hands. However, if your kid is responsible enough to follow some basic safety rules, it's a great addition to any backyard battle gear. It's much less dangerous than running around with a pretend knife made out of a stick, which is what made me think of ordering the knife in the first place. The knife is very durable, realistic looking, and as I mentioned is as heavy as a real knife of this type. It's weatherproof (no metal) and doesn't seem to get nicks or tears even after a few months of heavy use. I haven't tried other knives of this type, but I'm very impressed with the construction and durability of this particular training knife.

I'll repeat here what I said about the Cold Steel Tanto training knife: Decided to pick this up to assist in training. For how much this cost, it is an excellent product: it is heavy duty, yet flexible enough not to really harm someone (unless you stupidly gouge them in the eyes!); has excellent detail in the checkering on the grip; it is life size so it's realistic; anyone wanting a training knife or a knife for a Halloween costume prop should pick one of these up. One detail I like about this knife is the guard is prominent, like on a full size knife of this design. Again, I think this aids in training. Highly recommended.

I am a big airsofter, and our team is playing in a CQB area that allows "melee combat". In a panic, I ordered this knife without really expecting much more then a glorified rubber stick. When I opened the package I was shocked, as it took me about ten seconds of glaring at it before I figured out it wasn't real. It is very difficult to "mess up" a rubber knife... so having said that this knife is about as good as you are going to find. I beleive it is all one piece (so it won't break in half easily) and it feels and is even balanced slightly like a real one. I will say that the blade itself is much harder then I immagined, and can picture it causing injury to someone if I really jabbed them with it. Nevertheless, it is a great training knife. Pros: Looks/Feels exaclty like a real knife You can't accidentally kill your friends with it VERY sturdy and durable (better then most real knives I have) Cons: I personally find the blade very hard, it would hurt to get jabbed with this.

I got one of these to change up the partner training for our adults bjj class. It's not flimsy but feels that it can break or bend weird f you abuse it. It's great for hand fighting, defensive drills, grappling against the wall etc. Would recommend for any martial arts training

Good training knife for in class or at home alone. It is classic Randall Knife type design, is hard enough to allow you to slice and stab at a training dummy, and to counter slashes from a training partner. But, be advised, it is also hard enough where you can damage your training partner if you poke him in the eye or straight into the throat, so be careful with letting students train with this (have them wear eye protection) and do not let children train or play with it as a training tool against an opponent, unless they are supervised and you know they won't stab another child in an area where the hard synthetic material could hurt them, like in the throat, up the nose, eyes, etc.

This could be one of the best value training knives on the market! Design: This trainer is made to simulate the Cold Steel R1 Military Classic knife, as mentioned in the product description. It's a WWII-era design, and is based on the Randall Model 1. The R1 Classic (real knife) is 11 5/8" long with a 7" blade. The trainer is 11 1/2" long with a 6 3/4" blade. Nearly identical, the real knife is only slightly longer, similar to a traditional Bowie or USMC Ka-Bar. From an offensive training perspective, I prefer my trainer to be slightly shorter than what I carry. Handle: The checkering on the handle is great, adds realism and definitely improves grip when hands are sweaty. The large hilt is accurate and stiff, adds so much to disarm drills and the overall appearance of being a real weapon. Blade: The blade portion is stiff! Always wear proper personal protective equipment when using this, or any, training tool. You only get one set of eyes. There is some side-to-side flex but much less than with a lot of other rubber trainers. The blade portion is thick, and quite durable. Well rounded point. The heft isn't like that of a real blade, there is no metal shank or ability to add weight if desired. While that is a drawback, it also improves safety. If you train with a group, or run a gym/dojo, having a handful of these available just seems like a great bargain. Full-size, durable, realistic, for $9 each. Really can't beat that in my book.

I am very impressed with the quality of this practice knife, especially at this price point. It is very well balanced, sturdy, and has a great feel in your hand. I bought this for knife drills in my martial arts studio and couldn't be happier with it. It even has a hole for a lanyard to go around your wrist for extra safety which is a plus.

perfect for airsoft games. blade can bend completely on itself so it's safe for use with eye pro. legal at any field I've brought it to

Exactly as I expected. This knife is not sharp, and it's got a decent weight to it (not lifelike but it ain't paperweight either) and a very good feel, and I do not at all doubt that it could be used not only to accidentally break bones but in the right hands it could even truly double in a pinch as a weapon for self-defense because it -hurts- getting jabbed with this thing. I don't know much about knife training yet, but this one feels right to me, the grip is far superior in my hand to the other I bought (the Leatherneck-SF trainer knife), it just seems to cause less strain to my large hands compared to the rounder handle of the other, as well as allow more grip strength. The angle of the blade to the handle also seems better designed for use. I don't believe that either of these blades is anything other than a perfect rubber make of the originals, they are both amazingly well made and I am not at all disappointed in the quality of Cold Steel's blades. I am only comparing personal preferences in design. This is a good product.
