As a full-time professional educator and provider of training services throughout the federal training community, there is no room for second-best. The same goes for quality gear as it does for quality training – key word being quality. Since the early 1990’s I have been utilizing EDGES2 Inc. products both in the field and for my own personal training. In my humble opinion Bob Burgee is the best in the business when it comes to authentic quality training tools and after more than 20 years in this industry the same holds true to this very day.

Thank you for your outstanding customer service. Although I placed my order on short notice, I received my large NOK Sparring Blade (Beautiful!) in ample time for my class.

I wanted to send you a short note to say thank you for the excellent product and service. The training knives are great. The quality and the fast delivery really impressed me. I will be buying more knives from you in the near future. Thank you.

Just a line to tell you that your knife is thought of as the greatest training knife ever. The guys went wild. This knife is tougher than nails and will take the punishment. This knife will set the standard on which all other training blades should be made. Thanks again.

“Robert Burgee at EDGES2, Inc. created a terrific custom breakaway blade for a recent production of ROMEO and JULIET I staged. The craftsmanship was amazing and the simplicity and solidity with which he created the illusion worked every single time. I highly recommend Mr. Burgee’s work for all of your knife needs. The work is simply fantastic.”

“The key to effective training is to have realistic training equipment.
I’ve been teaching combative skills for the past 25 years and can honestly say that Bob Burgee’s EDGES2 training knives are as real as you can get.”

“Mr. B and Company,
Just wanted to say thanks for your awesome site and product line! My fiance Shauna recently ordered me one of your Ray Floro trainers. UPS screwed up, you made it your problem, for that I thank you. Your professionalism and understanding is unmatched by any online retailer we’ve ever dealt with, and we order almost all of our gifts and gift type items online. Your blades have an immediate psychological impact and handle beautifully. They also stand up to the power-happy strikes and blocks of Lightning Scientific inspired Arnis! I’ve seen many trainers bend, chip and fall to bits beneath a powerful system’s top speed hits. The guys who are training me are incredibly powerful and any weapon, hand, stick in their path usually gets eaten and well chewed…except my new Floro trainer! Your company’s killer products and service will be a big part of my continuing education.”

” Just wanted to say the knives arrived and were fantastic for our opening weekend of Romeo and Juliet. My fighters were really pleased to have something that looked better than the prop knives we were rehearsing with, and I was ecstatic to have something that looks and feels so “real.” The heft and balance of these knives is perfect; fighting with them is an absolute joy.
Thanks again for making sure they arrived on time.”

“I have been using your trainers for over 2 years now and people still ask where I get them from. They add more realism than a hunk of wood. They also are safe enough where they only cause blunt trauma. Which I dont mind. I had the opportunity to train with someone who thought a factory blank was better, more realistic. I had told them perhaps, but the blank was more dangerous due to the fact it had a dull blade edge. I ended up taking a cut on the back of my wrist after he made a good cut attempt at my chest. I just looked at him and said thanks. He was apologetic but understood why I was so against his knife blank. With the EDGES2 blades I have only been bruised, never cut for my mistakes. Thanks again for making a realistic but safe training blade.”

“Thanks so much for the two fine trainers you have provided–they are excellent. Thanks for meeting my timeframe for my seminar last weekend–they performed awesome, and got a lot of good comments. The balance and the quality on the blades are terrific. Thanks again, and look forward to acquiring more in the future.”
