Training Gear

Blade Brothers Knives offers specialized training gear designed in line with the officially approved Army Knife Fighting methodology. Co-authored by Oleksandr Vorobey — an active-duty serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, founder of the Blade Brothers Knife Fighting Club, President of the Knife Fighting Federation of Ukraine, and veteran of the russian-Ukrainian war — this program is integrated into the combat training system of the Ukrainian Land Forces.

Training Gear: From Beginner to Professional

Since 2014, Blade Brothers Knives has been producing knives, knife-shaped trainers and steel replicas that match the weight and dimensions required by the program. Developed through extensive combat and tournament experience, this gear allows for the safe practice of knife handling, defensive skills, and combat maneuvers in realistic conditions.

Benefits of Blade Brothers Training Gear

• Build correct muscle memory.
• Train safely and effectively.
• Practice not only in the gym but also in demanding field conditions, thanks to durable, wear-resistant materials.

The high strength and wear resistance of the materials allow the equipment to be used not only in the gym but also in rigorous field conditions. Effectiveness in real combat depends on hundreds of hours of practice. At Blade Brothers Knives, we know that high-quality training tool must match the real knife as closely as possible in balance, weight, and ergonomics.

In this section, you will find training knives, steel replicas, and soft padded trainers designed to safely practice knife fighting techniques while maintaining maximum realism in the training process.

How to Choose a Training Knife

Depending on your training goals, Blade Brothers Knives offers several types of practice tools designed for different tasks and skill levels:

• For Full-Contact Sparring:
  Soft Padded Trainers & Polymer Knives are the optimal choice for sparring and tournament competitions. They allow you to work at full speed, practicing stabs and strikes without the risk of injuring your partner, while keeping the feel of a knife in hand.
• For Stabbing and Slashing Techniques:
  Caprolon Training knives are our club standard. Durable and safe, they replicate the size and weight of a tactical knife, making them ideal for practicing grips, stabs, and strikes with precision.
• For Professional Training:
  The Steel Training Knife is designed for the most realistic practice of cutting techniques, allowing you to feel and understand how the cutting edge behaves in the hand. Its balance and handling are as close to a real knife as possible. The knife features a blunted edge and is safe for sparring.
• For Army Knife Fighting:
  Training Knife replicas (Tactical and EDC) are suitable for the most realistic scenarios. They have the same weight and balance as the live models, allowing you to feel the steel, practice lightning-fast draws from the sheath, and learn how to comfortably mount the knife on body armor for quick access. This is the next stage of training that brings practice closer to real combat conditions while maintaining a safe, rounded edge.
