Cold Steel Kukri Trainer rubber training knife
Description
Cold Steel Kukri Rubber Trainer 92R35Z
The Cold Steel Kukri Rubber Trainer is a full-size non-sharpened training replica inspired by the distinctive forward-curved profile of a traditional kukri. Made from resilient Santoprene, it is intended for controlled martial arts practice, demonstrations, solo drills and supervised partner exercises where realistic dimensions are useful but a live steel blade would create unacceptable risk.
The trainer measures approximately 43.8 cm overall, with an approximately 30.5 cm blade-shaped section and a handle length of approximately 13.3 cm. Its weight of approximately 269 g gives it a substantial training presence and makes it one of the heavier rubber trainers in the Cold Steel range.
Although the trainer has no sharpened edge or metal blade, it is not a soft toy. Santoprene is flexible but firm enough to cause pain, bruising or injury, particularly to the eyes, face, throat, joints and other vulnerable areas. Appropriate protective equipment, strict contact control and responsible supervision are essential during partner training.

Realistic Kukri-Style Profile
The trainer reproduces the recognisable forward-curved silhouette associated with kukri knives. Its long blade-shaped section and pronounced curve create a visually realistic training aid for familiarisation, demonstrations and structured technical drills.
The product is intended to approximate the size and visual presence of a real kukri without incorporating a sharpened edge, rigid metal point or live blade.
Santoprene Construction
The Kukri Rubber Trainer is moulded from Santoprene, a flexible thermoplastic elastomer selected for resilience, durability and rubber-like handling characteristics.
The material is considerably less hazardous than steel, but it retains enough firmness to maintain the trainer’s shape. Direct or uncontrolled contact can still cause injury, particularly because of the trainer’s length, curved profile and relatively high weight.
Full-Size Training Format
At approximately 43.8 cm overall, this trainer is larger than many conventional rubber training knives. Its 30.5 cm blade-shaped section gives it realistic reach for practising around kukri-style proportions.
The approximately 269 g weight provides more momentum than lighter rubber trainers, so users should allow a wider safety area and maintain especially careful control during partner exercises.
Recommended Training Applications
- Solo movement and handling practice
- Controlled martial arts drills
- Supervised disarm exercises
- Scenario-based demonstrations
- Security and professional training where authorised
- Stage, film and instructional demonstrations
- Equipment-recognition exercises
- Structured technical practice under qualified supervision
This trainer should not be used for uncontrolled sparring, full-force contact or unsupervised striking and thrusting exercises.
