Endura 4 Trainer Folding Knife - Red

Well made, and operates just like my real knife. Great for martial arts training.

This sliderconis an AUS 8 steel. It opens easily and locks strong. It is a lockback folding practice knife and the push lever curves down a little so that it won't cause it to close when you grip the handle. If you want to do repairs or tighten the screws, it takes T3 and T2 star bits. So, keep that in mind as the T3 and lower star bits are harder to come across. But it is a good solid practice knife with a thick sturdy, non sharp, blade.

I got this because I have an Endura 4 Wave as my EDC knife. I was taking some training classes, and needed a trainer. This worked perfectly. It's the same size and weight, and the same grip texture/surface, so it's as close as you would ever want to get to the real thing in training! If you want the Wave feature on this, you can either cinch down a zip-tie (cut off the excess) through the top thumb hole, or you can cut one pretty easily with a rotary tool (what I've done). If you're looking for an Endura 4 trainer, this is it!

The trainer feels very sturdy and solid in my hand. The is no play in the blade even after some fairly heavy usage in training. The grip feels nice and deployment of the blade is nice and smooth every time. It is a truly great trainer especially if you have the live version of this blade. You can work on fine motor skills with your gripping of the trainer as well as deployment without the worry of sticking yourself. After using this blade in training I find myself much more comfortable with the live version of the blade.

Great price
