There have been several instructors that have told me (and others) to train with the tools that you may end up using in a fight. A friend of mine recently bought a Spyderco Delica and its matching trainer for just that reason.
It's seems common enough to mark up a fixed-blade trainer with chalk, lipstick, washable paint, etc. but what about a trainer that's a folder? It would seem that the residue chalking or painting up the blade would eventually start messing with the action of the folding mechanism.....or does it?
Anyone have experience here?
