ASP Red Knife, Molded Polymer for Safe Training | Practice Martial Arts, Self Defense, Props, Tactical, Law Enforcement, Military

Great weight and durability is perfect too! It feels like a real knife when it comes to movement just without the fear of accidentally cutting myself or others! Great to help train and the safety of this makes it worth it! It also looks nice and real which is good too to take it seriously when training!

Got it yesterday. As a Self-Defense Instructor, I use training knoves for all kinds of scenarios. This is my first purchase of this knife and it has held up to all my torture tests. I just got done driving an hour with it in my back pocket. Held up just fine and sprung right back into shape. I can see this one will be very hard to break or destroy. It is lighter than a real knife of like size, but has a great balance and I feel they got the size and look of a knife down as well as a good quality tool for training. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to train with knives to get basics of knife fighting or defensive knife fighting techniques down, as this is not sharp or pointy by any means. The blade is just sturdy enough that if your hit with it, you know but gives before pain is a huge factor. I will be purchasing more in the future.

My kids and I attend self-defense classes which includes weapons defense training. As such, we rehearse at home what we learn in the dojo. ASP is a well-known maker of dummy weapons (most notably handguns and rifles) for handling and draw techniques. I was very pleased with the quality of the knife. It's made of very solid industrial rubber which doesn't feel like it will break or degrade over time. The weapon bends as expected when pushed hard into someone's side or chest, but otherwise serves it's purpose as a training tool. It's been tossed, kicked, deflected but doesn't show any wear or tear. The packaging was minimal, but quite frankly, what does one expect - it's a hunk of rubber! The heft is just a bit less than an equivalent metal knife but the intent isn't to teach the person how to use a knife offensively. Nonetheless, it could also serve in that capacity as well. Excellent buy - it was shipped on time and packed well during transit.

Flexible withouf being flimzy. Would recommend for more experienced students as it is more ridged than other training knives

perfect training aid

Well constructed, performed well and did exactly what it was designed to do. Customer satisfied.

If you need a training knife for live drilling (going full speed with contact) on arms, legs and torso this is a good option. I wouldn't recommend strikes to the head without head/eye protection but otherwise it is my go to knife in live sparring and drills. I use a rigid training knife for disarm drills due to the flexibility of the blade, which make certain techniques unrealistic. The red is also useful in training for identifying the knife in a melee. I'd purchase again if I had the need for additional soft training knives.

Product as advertised.
