Cold Steel Rubber Training Recon Tanto, Black

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

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.

Rugged training tool, very blunt but can still poke well, so no kids without supervision. That said, the edge can be slightly sharpened. Just enough, to make people accept it as a threat during training. Basically to the point of heavy scratches being left on bare skin. If you sharpen, purchase the kevlar arm sleeves sold here to be smart. If using in public, suggest dipping point in orange paint to indicate it isn't real.

this is good practice. its durable and tough plastic that will mimic you being able to use the real steel tanto you have. this is good for practice - it will still maybe hurt someone if you use it on them but more around like a bruise instead of breaking skin. but not actually "RUBBER". but can still hurt if you fool around too much. otherwise its exactly the size but not the weight. its more for training practice than mimicing the real knife 100% but its okay overall

Very happy with this training aid. The rubber tanto is slightly smaller geometrically than the real cold steal tanto but is close enough. The handle is also a different pattern design, normally on the smaller SK-5 Knives but isn't too off putting. Functions great for dexterity and accuracy training with the intended tantos. The rubber is better than expected and while light feels good in hand for practice.

Good for training purposes . it is pretty comfortable in my hands.

Feels great in the hand. Really nice grip. Great price. Very sturdy. A rare "All Pros, No Cons" product!

As described by the seller.

So perfect thanks

最初は刃に白い粉がついていましたが洗えばすぐに落ちました、また強度も良くいい感じの軽さです。

Excelente para practicar

I purchased this training knife for use in Airsoft games, and I must say, the quality is fantastic as with all Cold Steel products. I had previously owned a Cold Steel Leatherneck, but had lost it during a game, but I don't have to worry now since the Recon Tanto has a lanyard hole in the grip for retention. Why do I recommend this to? Trainers in self defense classes, Airsoft/Paintball players, Really, anyone in general who wants a good quality, but cheep training knife to work with that keeps the risk of injury to a minimum. As stated on the blade portion of the knife, "Always wear eye protection." Pros/Cons: Pros- Great quality, Very low price, Lanyard hole in the grip for retention if required, Lightweight, and Very sturdy with some flexibility for safety reasons. Cons- None
