Training Knives

Martial arts enthusiasts and seasoned knife collectors are the biggest fans of training knives. These are not the same as knives created for military use. The training knife is a bladed weapon that can be handled with speed. Of Philippine origin, it quickly diversified into a wide range of models.

While the butterfly knife was originally intended for self-defense, today it is an integral part of certain martial arts disciplines such as Kall-Anis. The principle of this practice consists of performing Tricks, impressive moves that follow one another through openings and closings of the knife.

Training knives, compared to classic knives, stand out because of their non-sharp blade. This design was carefully thought out so that every beginner in knife handling would not injure themselves. Regardless, in terms of design, it shares the same anatomy as a butterfly knife. At Khurts, we offer everyone reliable, ergonomic, and premium quality training knives. You will easily be able to find the skill needed to handle a real butterfly knife.

Why a training knife?

While the balisong knife can cause injury, the training knife is non-lethal. Improper handling of its blade poses no risk of injuring the knife handler, hence its name. Its use is therefore solely intended to guide a beginner in handling a real butterfly knife later on. In terms of design, a training knife is of course characterized by a rounded blade. And like a balisong, it also features two removable handles. Once closed, these handles give the knife an appearance similar to a pocket model. But once opened, they form a handle.

Colored training balisongs: for the choice of originality

Of all the training knives the market offers, colored balisongs are the most popular. These models feature varied colors on the removable handles. This feature gives the knife both an original and pleasing appearance. So, since you will be using the training balisong until you become an expert in knife handling, you might as well make sure its look is as pleasant as possible.

Stainless steel training balisongs: for the choice of durability

The blade of a training knife is often made of copper. But models featuring a stainless steel blade are more resistant to wear and rust. Often enhanced with a copper handle and a titanium coating, these models also boast an incomparable artistic appearance.

Blunted balisongs: for the choice of elegance

These types of training knives are equipped with a blunted blade with a claw-shaped design. By choosing these models, you will have a knife that is easy to handle while also displaying an elegance similar to neck knives.

How to maintain a training knife?

For a training knife, sharpening can be skipped, but not the case. Although this accessory is primarily intended to protect your body from the blade, it can equally serve to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the knife. So, to prevent the handle and blade from getting scratched, you should opt for a case made from a soft material. Copper and suede would be ideal. Also remember not to put your knife in contact with water. If this happens, wipe it properly before putting it back in its cover. The same applies if your hands were sweaty during handling.
