Re: Shock Knives
I don’t know if mine are simply a newer generation, but these seem like they’d still work if someone was extra soggy. We’ll keep testing them (heh, heh, heh…) and I’ll report back.
Re: Shock Knives
The model we have has a layer of insulator outside of the contacts that help with the sweat issue, but they still short out when very wet. Just shake them out for a second and they’re good to go.
They actually work BETTER through a layer of clothing than they do on bear skin. Quite a bit I might add.

Wow!!! I didn’t realize you tested them on bears… I’m impressed by your dedication to test these out.

We used the shock knives in our recent Level 1 & 3 Force Training certification. I pooched a defense against a straight stab and ended up using some sort of half-assed cavalier. As I did so, I took the weapon across my body (a big no-no). The shock knife made contact on my left nipple…
Do not – repeat – DO NOT apply a shock knife to you nipple – left or right. You will receive a quick lesson in the do’s and dont’s of knife defenses that you won’t soon forget!
(um, you will also say some very bad words that cops will know and appreciate, but that the general public will frown upon…)
Re: Shock Knives
I had heard about these knifes before (I think Chris Masaoka in Bellevue had been telling me about them) and after reading this thread I decided I just had to had one.
But holy ****! These knifes are expensive! I was quoted EUR 400 (USD 550) for an ex-demo model (under warrenty). Is that reasonable? And if so, is that worth it?
Re: Shock Knives
Bad, Steve, real bad.
I’m sitting here reading a really good thread and then I read your post. I’ve got a bit of a post-nasal drip and everything went everywhere when I started laughing. I will have to admit that there is a bit of a cringe factor too. I’ve never had Ryan use one on me before, but even in the normal classes he likes to use it to “focus attention”.
