Hello,
First post here- I've read through the Kabar TDI thread, but I thought this was a different enough topic to warrant a new one. Forgive me if I'm wrong, feel free to delete and I'll just post in the other thread. Long time lurker on pistol forum, just joined recently- thank you to all who regularly post and contribute brilliant material.
Anyway- I'm fairly close to being hired by my local city police department, and I have joined a gym that focuses on combatives and blade techniques for self defense, since I think right now that's what I'm lacking most. I'd like to get a TDI training knife, and I see that quite a few folks here carry and train with TDI's, but I can't find any trainers available for purchase. Looks like they discontinued their training knives awhile back. My question is, what are all you folks using to train with your TDI? Is there anyone I can purchase a trainer from? Ideally, I'd use the same sheath in training, and get good reps of drawing and re-sheathing while on the mat, which would necessitate using a trainer with very similar dimensions as my real TDI.
Anyone out there with some suggestions?
Thanks
Tyler
