Review: Realistic Training Knife - Highly Recommended - We bought the Cold Steel "Rubber Recon Tanto Training Knife" for practicing disarming moves in TaeKwonDo. This is a replica of Cold Steel 13RTK Recon Tanto Knife , having the same overall length but not weight. Here are my observations: Pros: + Large Size; 11.75" long (7" blade) + Good Grip; feels good in the hand, which makes it more realistic for "aggressor" + Solid; this is tough material that will hold up well (but see "Misc", below) Cons: - Not Balanced; much heavier on blade end Misc: * Firm Rubber; this is not very soft or flexible, which makes it great for stand-up fighting but less optimal for ground fighting or take-downs. I would not like to come down on this with it between my ribs and the ground. This is a great training aid that should last a very long time. Highly Recommended! CFH Review: Outstanding Practice Knife. - I will rate this product on the three aspects that left a great impression during my practice drills: 1) Extremely sturdy. We put this practice blade to the test and it held up, to include full 5 minute sessions. 2) Grip is excellent. I expected the grip pattern to be quite low quality with minimal regard, but to my surprise the grip pattern was very well inlaid and gave a good grip even in heavily perpetrated hands. 3) Realistic Reverse Grip/ Forward Grip interchanging. I usually like to start my sessions in Forward Grip then during a live practice run quick swap to a Reverse Grip. This usually can be tricky if you have a cheap blade either from low quality grip handle or uneven balanced blade. I did not have many difficulties swapping grips and found this to be more realistic with a higher quality blade than a generic pocket knife balance. All in all this is a great practice knife for the price. I highly recommend this product to those who are interested in this martial art. ## Features - Santoprene - Imported - Material: Santoprene - Handle: 4 3/4 inch - Blade Thickness 11mm - Overall Length: 11 3/4 - Blade Length: 7 inch - Overall Length: 11.75 inch - Blade Length: 7.00 inch - Blade Material: Santoprene - Handle Material: Santoprene ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001CZG19Q | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #98,383 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #15 in Martial Arts Practice Swords | | Blade Edge | Blunt | | Blade Length | 7 Inches | | Blade Material | Plastic | | Blade Shape | Tanto Point | | Blade Type | tanto | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Tamper-Evident | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 725 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Rubber | | Included Components | Knife | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 11.75 Inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Training | | Item Weight | 3 Grams | | Manufacturer | GSM LLC | | Model Name | Rubber Training Recon Tanto | | Model Number | CS-92R13RT | | Part Number | 92R13RT | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Hunting | | Reusability | Disposable | | Size | 7" | | Special Feature | Lightweight | | Special Features | Lightweight | | Style | Classic | | Theme | training | | UPC | 705442004882 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

That said, the edge can be slightly sharpened. Just enough, to make people accept it as a threat during training. Basically to the point of heavy scratches being left on bare skin. If you sharpen, purchase the kevlar arm sleeves sold here to be smart. If using in public, suggest dipping point in orange paint to indicate it isn't real. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Rubber Training Recon Tanto, Black - Cold Steel Leatherneck S/F Trainer, Black - Cold Steel Karambit Trainer Black, 4.0" --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1281508-rubber-training-recon-tanto-black](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1281508-rubber-training-recon-tanto-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
