About Us

Cold Steel is a company dedicated to making strong, sharp knives. Over the last three decades, Cold Steel made many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry. Progressive accomplishment, including the introduction of the checked Kraton handles, and the tanto point blade styles have gone from curiously interesting features to industry-wide hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels like San Mai III and Tri-Ad Lock & locking mechanism for folding knives. Of course Cold Steel will always look to the future, constantly striving to make the world's strongest, sharpest knives. That goal as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has been the same for the past forty years.

Cold Steel is a knife and tool company dedicated to creating the strong, sharp knives, swords, tomahawks, machetes, cutlery, tools for every day carry: EDC. Quickly adopted by Military, Law Enforcement Special units, Emergency Services Personnel, Self Defense professionals as well as members of the Martial Arts community, Cold Steel quickly became renowned for quality, strength, reliability and dependability in every day carry (EDC). Our diverse and varied line-up quickly grew to include not only a massive selection of folding knives (from smaller "EDC" blades, to our iconic giant “mega-folders”) but fixed blades, swords, sabers, pole-arms and halberds, as well as hunting gear, spears, blowguns, axes, machetes, tomahawks and tools!

Over the decades, Cold Steel has introduced pioneering new materials and designs that have helped to shape the world of the modern knife, edged weapons and tools. From the introduction of the checkered Kraton handles, and the “Americanized” Tanto blade, to the inclusion of innovative new blade steels like San Mai III and game-changing locking mechanisms (like our Tri-Ad Lock). As we look to the future, Cold Steel continues to bring new levels of strength, safety and performance to the market, providing products that you can rely on – Anytime, Anywhere!

Product Description

Now you can practice with some of our most popular knife designs in relative safety - with our rubber training knives! Each trainer has been carefully fashioned to look as realistic as possible so they can be effectively used in solo practice, training drills, disarm drills, and demonstrations and any other activity where you want a reasonably close approximation of realism but not the extreme danger and risk associated with an actual knife.

Customers are mixed about the rigidity of the product. Some mention that it feels like a hard plastic, while others say that the construction ensures that the blade is stiff and prevents the kind of flexibility we expect from a training knife. That said, some say that it's too stiff to be used safely and that the rubber feels like cheap, hard plastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Training Knife For Martial Arts!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015
I train in Filipino-based martial arts where we utilize knife training regularly in our practice. This Cold Steel Rubber Training Recon Tanto is perfect for martial arts! It offers a safe rubberized material, so you can train and not hurt your training partner and also offers enough sturdiness for disarming, strips, etc. Some rubber training knives are so flimsy, it's difficult to pull off these techniques. Not with this training knife! My one criticism is that these rubber training knives are generally too long. However you could look at this as a bonus too... you can cut down the training knife to measure exactly to the knife you carry as I have done.
