Aku-Strike Mimic T-16 Training Knife - Black/Frost including Kydex Sheath
The Aku-Strike Mimic T-16 Bundle combines an electronic feedback training knife with its specially designed Kydex sheath. This provides trainers and trainees with a coordinated set for controlled knife defense, martial arts, and scenario training.
The training knife detects pressure contacts on the blade tip or blade edge and immediately provides visible and – depending on the selected setting – audible feedback. The matching sheath also allows for practicing controlled drawing, holding, and quick access in predefined training sequences.
Direct Feedback During Training
The Mimic T-16 provides its feedback immediately upon contact. This allows trainees and trainers to directly perceive movement sequences, reactions, and detected contacts and then evaluate them together.
- Visual Feedback: selectable red or green LED indicator
- Audible Feedback: switchable signal tone upon activation
- Silent Training Mode: LED indicator can be used without a signal tone
- Pressure-Dependent Activation: reaction to pressure on the blade tip or blade edge
- Frost Blade: the matte-transparent surface makes the LED light clearly visible
Matching Mimic T-16 Kydex Sheath
The Kydex sheath included in the bundle was developed for the Aku-Strike Mimic T-16. With the clip, it can be attached to trousers, shorts, or a belt up to approximately 1.5 inches or 38 millimeters wide.
The clip can be mounted in two positions: slightly tilted forward or at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. This allows the position to be adjusted to the respective training setup and preferred drawing movement.
