Kershaw Knives 9000841-SSI E-Train Fine Edge Folding Knife Blue - multi, N/A

Great trainers.

Pros: Inexpensive. Exactly like the Kershaw 6034 Kershaw 6034 Emerson Designed CQC-6K Knife in weight and feel. Differently colored so it's recognizable as a training tool. Surprisingly strong frame lock. Cons: Main screw comes loose occasionally. Fantastic, durable, inexpensive trainer. Deployment of a knife is usually hard to do in a self defense situation. The Wave feature makes accessing your weapon so much easier, and the Kershaw trainer makes learning it much safer. Standing around by your self could be a good way to familiarize yourself with weapon access, but utilizing this trainer and a training partner, you are able to pressure test your skills, and improve them safely and effectively. I've purchased two personally, and encouraged my students to do the same.

Well made training knife weight and feel match my live folder. Great for practicing drawing the knife out under pressure. I believe it is a must have if you plan to use a folder for self-defense. Helps you do the reps needed to correctly get the knife blade to and how to deal with a situaton where the blade doesn't open. Well worth the money and is very well made.

I can say without hesitation this is a must have trainer for anyone, not just those purchasing a Kershaw/Emerson, a full on combat grade ZT or the original hard use Emerson brand blade. . I appreciate and use/carry several quality makes of edged tools & Kershaw/ZT was the right choice for this collaboration .....High Quality and Affordability Is their trademark and Needless to say when I saw this trainer I jumped at the chance to abuse it !! I am a multi-discipline combatives trainer and have trained with Sir Ernest himself and have to say this trainer is just as sturdy as the Emerson trainers for normal instruction and wave training at a fraction of the cost. Get one!!! —Please train responsibly. These are blunted metal blades and can and will cause injury during training—

I saw a lot of trainers like this asking for a much higher price. I had my doubts of what I'd be receiving but this thing is is rock-solid. I'm taking a Filipino Martial Art called Kali and it has a lot of knife training in it. We have plastic or wooden trainers but I wanted something with true weight to practice as realistically as possible. To that end I also wanted to be able to practice drawing and readying a folding knife. I thought the lock might turn out to be like crap but this thing locks super solid and feels good and heavy (a little heavier than a regular knife would be since its un-sharpened). I don't usually buy Kershaw, but if its anything like their trainers, I'm probably going to go for the real thing. This knife is going to stand the test of time and enhance my training big time. Can't wait to show my sifu.

This trainer is sturdy, well built, and attention is paid to a lot of the details that are missed on a lot of cheaper trainers. Everything operates smoothly, and all of the edges that might catch during training are rounded (this is not the case with cheaper trainers). The one thing that needs help is that by default, the frame lock is too stiff to use the thumb wheel to open it. The weave feature works beautifully, but I bought this as a trainer for a knife that does not have that feature, so I needed to be able to thumb it open. This is an easy fix. All you need to do is use a needle file (pictured here a cheap hobby diamond file) and make a small grove in the retention hole of the blade along the track that the ball in the frame lock follows. Took me less than 5 minutes, and probably could have been done without taking the blade out (though I did remove the blade to make it easier). A little bit goes a long way, and after a minor touch-up, it opens just fine with your thumb. It may have broken in on it's own, but I did not want to have to wait a week to find out. If you are looking for a trainer that is perfect, ready to go out of the box, this is only the knife for you if you never plan on using the thumb wheel to open it. If you are willing to put a little TLC into your training tools, you will be pleasantly surprised how little work this knife needs to be ready to train with!

This is a perfect trainer for martial arts or teaching someone how to use a pocket knife. And, it's $30, versus $130, so it isn't cost prohibitive. As a bonus, you can get the same Kershaw/Emerson with a live blade. An excellent, affordable solution.

The quality and sturdiness of this trainer is unmatched. I own both the trainer and the live 3.2" emerson wave knife - there is very little difference between the two. I've used this trainer in a series of edged weapons overview courses, putting it through some fairly vigorous prssure on the folding and locking mechanism. The blade itself is naturally heavier than the real-deal knife, but the difference is negligable and expected. The point is not sharp enough to cause any serious impact injury to areas exposed outside of standard sparring PPE (i.e. eye glasses, sparring helmet with face shield). The emerson wave mechanism works based on clip orientation and is extremely easy to manipulate regardless of pocket clip orientation. This trainer should be mor expensive for the value it brings to the table.

Great training weapon!!!!!!!!!!!

Trainingsmesser macht einen sehr stabilen und gut verarbeiteten Eindruck! Liegt gut in der Hand, das Gewicht ist gut austariert. Bisher absolut top

Un buen producto si quieres entrenar o usarla de otros modos recreativos,pesada, y a medida junto con la cqc-6k o la cqc-7k. Vale la pena

Excelente herramienta de entrenamiento. Es exactamente igual al que tiene filo lo que ayuda a entrenar como si fuera real. Se amolda el agarre a la mano y el sistema de apertura es muy útil para abrirlo desde la ropa.

Excelente herramienta para practicar desenfundes así como técnicas de desarmes, tiene el peso y características de una real.
