I have several, and they work just fine, my main complaint being that the heavy butt's taper is so thick that it tends to force your grip up toward the guard. Other than that it works great for what it's intended to do. I have lots of rubber knives from various makers that I use for knife practice. The ones from Cold Steel are also excellent since you can get several nicely made models. One tip for you kali, escrima, and knife defense enthusiasts out there, try doing your combinations and drills with both the regular and reverse grip. You'll find that the standard 5 or 8 or 12 angles of attack, whatever you use in your system, change quite a bit, especially for the defanging the snake drills. If you're trying to defang using the reverse grip, and your partner is using the regular grip, you'll notice the angle and the technique has to change a bit, and also if you're both in reverse grip.

Heavier and more rigid than the tanto version but has the benefit of an integral hand guard. The paint cracks and peels quickly so it gets ugly fast. Other then that it's well made and lasts under heavy use. I've had a half dozen of these for training classes and they've held up perfectly for almost five years now. They bend but don't break, hit hard enough to tell you've been struck, but don't leave any lasting injury though they do have a tendency to leave welts with heavy impact where the lighter tanto-style knives do not. I strongly suggest avoiding head shots or wear appropriate protection. Great value-priced training tool. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:  Cheap, good for solo-drills, not so good for 2 man practice, By This review is from: Training Equipment - Curved Rubber Knife (Misc.) This model is cheap and has a cool hand guard grip, but because of this design, the blade itself is a second piece that is attached on, and is broken off very easily. If you are looking for a heavy duty training knife to "shadow box" with, then this knife is ok. But, if your looking to do sparring or partner drills with this knife, its going to break somewhat easily, and you will be left dissapointed like I was. Your better off getting the straight edge, which is much better for sparring/2 man drills, because the blade and handle are pretty much "one-piece" and the blade wont break off as easily, and if it does, you can easily tape it up without having a bulky hand-guard in the way like this model, I would say pass on this one. Unless someone gave me this training knife for FREE as a gift, I wouldnt get it |
