A buddy of mine has the trainer. I've used it a few times and its quite nice as a training tool. There are some benefits to using it but In my opinion, its way way over priced. For kerambit training I have a few trainers made out of aluminum and wood that were made for me a while back. Those are mainly what I use. As a side note, I do have the Emerson Kerambit and I simply love it. Great knife.

The trainer is NOT worth the cost IMHO. With the Wave action of the Emerson Kerambit, the blade is deployed as you draw. I made a really close aluminum (nonfolding) replica with pocket clip that rides the way a real Emerson Kerambit would. When I draw it, I can't really tell if it was closed or opened while in my pocket. The only benifit I could see of the practice folder is practicing the draw so the wave catches on your pocket, but I can practice that with the live blade.
