Cutting Edge Training, LLC, is proud of its strategic partnership and
association with Benchmade Knives. We believe it is a marriage of the
finest law enforcement training combined with the finest cutting tools
made today for law enforcement.
From the
current Benchmade catalog (2004):
“Edged Weapon Training”
”Ever
since Benchmade Knife Company first began, we have a had a strong and
growing relationship with Law Enforcement. Benchmade has a long
history of listening to the officers who work the street, and then
developing the tools that fit their needs. Throughout the past year,
we constantly heard from policed administrators, trainers, and
officers stating they have a huge need for rational edged weapons
training for personnel. To meet these requests, we have partnered
with George T. Williams of Cutting Edge Training.
“Mr.
Williams, since 1981, has been one of the premier law
enforcement trainers in the nation. He provides cutting edge
training to law enforcement and military personnel in defensive
tactics, firearms, impact weapons, and SWAT tactics. His
training courses in civil liability prevention are unmatched in the
industry. Mr. Williams is a widely published author, having had articles
appear a considerable number of times in the leading national law
enforcement journals and magazines. His extensive background makes
him qualified to be called regularly as an expert witness in
allegations of civil rights violations. He is very familiar with the
liability process and how it affects law enforcement and its training
practices. Eschewing the “police knife fighter” mentality, Mr.
Williams brings a balance of effectiveness in the field with an
awareness of liability issues to his training in edged weapons. This,
among other reasons is why Benchmade has chosen Cutting Edge Training
as its training partner in this important endeavor.
“In
working with Mr. Williams, Benchmade has developed a series of
revolutionary training knives with the same weight and action of our
incomparable live blades. These new training knives allow the officer
to train with a safe training tool that mimics a real knife in all
ways except one - it is difficult to be injured with it! They are
specially designed and built to officer the realistic ability to train
intensively at important survival skills with significantly reduced
risk of serious bodily injury.
“In
conjunction with the NEW! Benchmade training knives, we are
introducing a NEW! Comprehensive edged weapons course developed
specifically for Benchmade’s law enforcement customers. Because
Benchmade Knife Company products are present in nearly every law
enforcement agency across the United States, we are committed to
bringing the best information to our customers so our tools can be
used reasonably and effectively. Major training topics currently
include: The Constitutional Limits to the Police Use of Force
(Knives and Deadly Force), Universal Rules and Principles of Defense©,
Human Vulnerabilities to the Knife, Knife and Edged Weapon Defense,
The Knife as a Last Ditch Police Weapon.
“If
you are interested in obtaining the finest training possible in the
rational use and defense against edged weapons for law enforcement,
contact Benchmade Customer Service at 800.800.7427, or call Cutting
Edge Training directly at 360.671.2007 (or e-mail:
