Q: What is a Spring Bar training knife

A: The blade is controlled by a  steel spring bar. When pressure is applied to the edge or tip, the blade responds by moving to absorb the force, providing realistic feel as well as other benefits.

• Blade moves to absorb impact providing safe training

• Provides real feel cuts

• Teaches blade pressure

• Unique click sound to hear quick hits

• Realistic size and style of knives. Not all knife blade sizes work the same. They really feel different in cutting, accuracy, and technique.

• Great for bad work, the forgiving blade saves destroying your bag.
