DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
The Model 882 SBT Police Utility Knife, on which the 884 trainer is based, culminates from interviews with nationwide police agencies covering the selection, carrying, safe handling, proper usage and maintenance of a police utility knife. Required for law enforcement training, trainers must meet the same weight and materials specifications as the model on which it is based. The 882 was designed specifically for law enforcement, and the 884 was designed specifically for law enforcement training. The 884 trainer has all the features of the 882 with modification for trainingthe 420HC blade edge is dull and the tip is rounded, and the handle is colored blue to signify its intended use as a trainer. Working closely with Steve Tarani and Strider Knives®, our mission was to design a knife that was capable of handling the demands of police work, then create a training version.
