Hey, I'm not sure where to put this, but I belive this is the right place. Anyways, I'm trying to find a decent, sturdy, and realistic rubber training knife, but have unable to find one except for the Cold Steel Training and the CRKT Ultima Training. What I'm asking, is does anybody know of a
"ecent, sturdy, and realistic rubber training knife" that is unique, or atleast not one of the above brands? Or even a CCW training knife?

The favored training knife in our Silat class is the Good Cook brand silicone spatula

Seriously. It's rigid enough to be realistic but flexible enough so that it doesn't hurt too much. And believe me, after two or three hours of getting hit with a hard rubber knife the bruises lose their novelty. It's got a good shape and grip.

Most of all, it's cheap enough to be disposable, something like a buck on sale.

Available at finer Walgreens everywhere.

My instructor used to make his own with pool noodles , a plastic rod and gaffer tape . In Australia we call them pool noodles , they are those long round lengths of styrofoam stuff that kids play with in the pool .

They are really cheap , he would get one of them and cut it to length and then shove the hollow plastic rod into the hollow center of the pool noodle making sure there is plenty of pool noodle left at the front for shock absorption .
You then cut a bit more pool noodle and put it into the hollow bit at the front to make it more solid , and then gaffer tape it all up . Even with a ice hockey mask on , when you get a thrust in the face with one of them you sure do know about it .
