ASP Red Gun Training Knife 57451 | Inert Polymer Trainer

Overview of the ASP Red Gun Training Knife | 57451

The ASP Red Gun Training Knife 57451 is an inert, 11.5-inch training knife built for edged weapon defense drills. ASP injection molds it from a tough, solid polymer with rounded edges and a molded-in red color, so nobody in class mistakes it for a live blade.

A knife attack happens fast and close. You cannot learn to block, trap, and disarm with a real blade, and a flimsy toy teaches bad habits. This red training knife gives you a realistic size and grip with far less risk.

Why Trainers Choose It

• Safety first: ASP states the softer durometer minimizes injury potential if contact occurs.
• Instant identification: red marks it as inert training gear.
• Realistic handling: ASP describes it as an accurate replica.

Who It Serves

Police academy instructors, corrections trainers, security teams, martial artists, and self-defense students use it to build safe, repeatable knife defense skills.

Key Features

• Inert Training Design: No cutting edge and no sharp point, so you can run partner drills at speed.
• Rounded Edges: ASP states the rounded edges help prevent abrasions.
• Softer Durometer: The material gives on contact to reduce injury potential, according to ASP.
• Molded-In Red Color: The red is molded into the material rather than painted on, marking it as inert gear.
• Durable Polymer Build: Injection molded from what ASP calls an extremely durable synthetic for continuous class use.
• Realistic Size: 11.5 inches overall for true-to-life grips, angles, and distances.
• Lightweight: 3.52 ounces, easy to carry in a training bag with the rest of your gear.
• Part of the ASP Red Gun Line: Pairs with ASP red training guns, training batons, and red training cuffs for complete use-of-force scenarios.
