Cold Steel Polypropylene Medieval Training Dagger-16"

The best of the world's sword fighters have known a simple truth for ages... if you want to become a reasonably good sword fighter you should endeavor to learn sword fighting techniques, footwork and the basic stances

However, if you want to be a master at sword fighting you have to eventually start fighting with a "live blade"

If your ultimate goal is to wield a razor so you can practice with some of our most popular knife designs in relative safety - with our rubber training knives!

The Medieval Training Dagger has been carefully fashioned to look as realistic as possible so it 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 or sword safely and effectively

You need to train with a sword that approximates the size, feel and heft of a live blade, yet minimizes the possibility of causing grievous, permanent, or life-threatening injury to yourself or your training partner

This concept was implemented by the ancient Romans, who used dull wooden swords to train their Gladiators and soldiers

Japanese Samurai used a wooden training sword that was called a Bokken

It's an elegant solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still be used today. The only problem is that a wooden sword can rot, crack, chip or splinter and eventually become useless

Cold Steel's solution to these dilemmas was to design a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements

The Cold Steel line of training weapons are made of heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate a real sword in length, size, weight and feel

While they're not quite as rigid as wood, they have the winning advantages of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and cut resistant
