I bought a couple of Shocknives last year when they hit the market. They are absolutely one of the greatest training devices for edged weapons training. They cause a real stress reaction when they are deployed as there is a consequence for failing to control the weapon. Pain and stress help to cement the training into the system. If used correctly, as Ken Murray teaches, you can stress proof and give real world skills to your students.

I wrote an article that was published in the July 2006 SWAT magazine of how we use the Shocknife. We teach basic caveman principles, grab, secure, attack, survive. We are currently working an an edged weapon video and will have some clips up soon. http://www.shocknife.com/
