It’s the Shocknife: a blunt-edged training knife that administers a non-lethal electric shock when it hits.
ADVANTAGE #1 – Biofeedback Tool
Set the adjustable SK-1 shock level to LOW and the blade of the knife becomes your instructor. It uses a mild painless shock to provide feedback when your technique needs correction. Save time, energy, and money by training more efficiently.ADVANTAGE #2 – Stress Exposure Training
A real knife attack creates a feeling of panic causing your body to respond with the “fight or flight” syndrome. That same acute stress can now be replicated during training by setting the SK-1 shock level to EXTREME. At this level the knife sparks and growls, ready to bite with each attack.
ADVANTAGE #3 – Cut Location Indicator
The SK-1 delivers a powerful shock upon contact allowing the trainee to recognize both WHERE and WHEN they were exposed during the attack. The shock will even arc through clothing! Unlike marking knives there is no messy marking compound to clean up after training.
