Blue Training Knife Training
Train the way you will need to win the fight
Caution:
Although BTK weighs only 28 grams (1 oz) it can still cause injury (stinging/ bruising, possible lacerations and damage to the eye) if protective kit and eyewear are not worn. Always wear protective eyewear when using BTK.
How it Works:
BTK is custom designed to look like a folding knife with the blade locked open. It has a blue handle with logo to signal to the instructor/student that the knife is for training (such as other reality based equipment: blue gun; blue baton; blue OC pepper spray canister etc). The blade is manufactured to a specific pliability (durometer) that allows it to “fold”and/or “twist” when it makes contact. The resultant greater surface area and deceleration dissipates the impact energy over a broader surface which is safer for the recipient than with a smaller/harder surface area (increased penetration potential).
Ways to use your Blue Training Knife:
BTK can be used for practicing EDC (every day carry) tactics as well as skill sets for motor programs to defend against an edged weapon attack. BTK can also safely be used by role payers to be held out as a knife during a scenario as it is very life-like looking when brandished in context as opposed to some other unrealistic looking training knives such as wooden or hard plastic.
Prior to Use, Maintenance and Cleaning Rules:
Simply wipe BTK with a non – alcohol based cleaning wipe such as Benzo-K or use a mild soap and water mix. Dry it thoroughly. Ensure that the fastening screws are tightened and the handle is in good repair prior to and after using it.
