“The Shocknife is very new, a great product,” says Morrison (Interim Director of OLETC) “They’ve gone before the OLETC advisory board and gotten great reviews. When you’re training with a rubber knife, there’s no mental change, but when you’re faced with one that can shock or hurt you, your mindset changes and you act differently in order to avoid being hurt.”

Shocking Training Torture From Canada – Pain Penalty
“Today, the LE training community has come to a mutual understanding that replica firearms, shooting non-lethal projectiles like Simunitions and Airsoft, are a critical part of modern training programs. These replica-training tools enable us to better deal with deadly force situations. The replicas are vital tools because they offer that “anxiety factor.” We’ve all watched DT guys do gee whiz, super-cool knife takeaways. That’s great, but I wouldn’t try it with a real knife. Would you? What Shocknife gives you is an immediate reminder that you did it wrong. If you screw up and get “cut”, there really is no hiding it. You’re going to react, physically and probably verbally, too.”

Get Scary Real! Force-on-force turns up the stress for more realistic training!
“Prior to the Shocknife the role-player with a blade only had a dummy knife. The bad guy with a rubber knife was really no threat. You had to mentally convince yourself that he was a threat. Now the student really needs to do it right or he is going to get an electric “bite”. Now we have the blood moving and adrenaline pumping. Such force-on-force training quickly exposes problems with certain old techniques. . . The new Shocknife add realism and practical value to our training sessions, the kind of value that might just help save your life one day.”

Shocknife Training – Bringing Knife Defense Up to Speed
“Approximately seven months ago, a new product, the Shocknife, was introduced into the law enforcement market. The result of this excellent training device is that the student receives immediate feedback on the technique performed. The trainee will feel as if he or she has actually been cut. Moreover, the sensation lingers for several minutes. The body is fooled into thinking that it has been cut and sends a pain stimulus to the brain. Having used the Shocknife myself, I can vouch for the immediate feeling of having been slashed.

I spoke with FBI Special Agent Ray Flannagan about the Shocknife. Ray teaches DTs at the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA. He told me that they are in the process of evaluating the Shocknife, and he feels that it is an excellent tool, especially for specialized units and scenario-based training. "The Shocknife elicits fear in the trainee just like a real knife would," Flanagan said. He added, "Having a pain response adds the element of realism that gives value to our training." Flannagan's colleague, Special Agent Butch Greathouse, echoed the same sentiments and said that he is a huge proponent of anything that adds realism to training, "That's what ultimately keeps our people alive," he said.

Now that the Shocknife has been invented, my sense is that there will be fewer officers injured and killed from edged weapon attacks. Shocking knife training--the future of edged weapon training!”

Knife Training that will Shock You!
“The threat of pain is an integral part of any realistic survival training program. This is because a real world attack creates dramatic changes to the physiological and psychological functioning of humans in an effort to avoid pain, injury, or death. If an individual has not prepared by replicating these changes in training, the results can be catastrophic during a real attack. This has changed with the introduction of the Shocknife SK-2, the first edged weapon training device in the world that realistically replicates being cut with a knife.”

SWAT Magazine - July 2006 Issue

“After two hours with the knife, this is by far one of the coolest training tools I have ever looked at. As soon as the Shocknife was activated, students displayed a noticeable stress reaction. Their hearts started racing and breathing rates increased. All participants told me that they felt an adrenalin rush. I noticed that motor skills deteriorated as participants began to defend against the Shocknife. I highly recommend getting the Shocknife for your training toolbox. I believe it constitutes one of the most important tools that you can add to make your practice more realistic and effective. The entire group praised this as one of the best defensive tactics classes that they had ever taken."

When Mistakes Hurt!

“Until the Shocknife™, there has been no pain-inducing but non-injurious technology for training to defend against knife attacks. For the first time we now have a true pain-but-not-injury inducing knife training device. It is of very, very high construction quality. I firmly believe that the Shocknife is the best thing to ever happen to knife defense training. As far as knife defense training goes, the Shocknife has set a new standard for realistic training!”

Put a Charge Into Training – A Pain Penalty Helps Students Learn

“I’ve worked in the reality based training (RBT) business for 20 years, and I’d have to say this is one of the more innovative technologies to come along in quite a while. . . and in my estimation the Shocknife is a must have for those with an active RBT program.”

"I put the Shocknife® through its paces and found that it performed as designed and intended. Law enforcement, military and corrections trainers will benefit from this advancement in edged weapon training. The pain of a “cut” will soon pass but the lessons of the Shocknife® will last…and that is the shocking truth in training we are all after."
