The Cold Steel CS-92R13RT Recon Rubber Trainer delivers safe, realistic training without the liability concerns of live blades. This 7-inch tanto-profile trainer replicates the weight, balance, and handling characteristics of actual tactical knives while eliminating injury risks during force-on-force scenarios and martial arts practice.
What Makes This Different
Unlike foam or wooden trainers that feel nothing like real knives, the CS-92R13RT uses Cold Steel's proprietary Santoprene rubber compound to achieve authentic weight distribution and grip texture. The tanto point geometry matches Cold Steel's live blade designs, ensuring muscle memory transfers directly to actual combat applications. At 7 inches overall, this trainer provides realistic reach and leverage without the safety concerns of metal alternatives.
