Description of the Product Practice makes perfect, and so it is with knife-fighting skills. Before reaching levels of excellence, however, that practice should be conducted in relative safety. That is now possible with these synthetic training knives. Practice weapons of all kinds always have to balance realism with safety. If the weapon is too realistic it will function like the real weapon and there is a risk of serious and unnecessary injury. If the weapon however is too soft and bendy, it will be useless as a training tool as it will move and act differently from the real deal. The edges are rounded and the point dull. For sufficient realism, however, the blade has to be firm enough, and not wobble. Therefore even a synthetic blade might cause injury, especially to the face or the eyes, so appropriate protection must be utilized at all times when using this training dagger. This training dagger has been carefully fashioned to look as realistic as possible, so it can be effectively used in solo practice, training drills, disarm drills, and demonstrations, or any other activity where you want a reasonably close approximation of realism but not the extreme danger and risk associated with an actual dagger. The handle is textured for a good grip. This trainer is affordable, functional and very durable. The guard can be replaced if and when needed, and the dagger is shipped unassembled. Very nice and finished piece that looks good and functions well as a training tool in martial arts, as a demonstration piece or as an accessory for your reenactment- or LARP-gear. This realistic looking trainer is affordable, functional and very durable Functions well as a training tool in martial arts, and as an accessory for your reenactment- or LARP-gear Overall length: 50,8 cm Blade length: 33 cm Handle length: 17,8 cm Weight: 350 g Blade thickness: 25 mm Material: Polypoprylene Manufacturer: Cold Steel
