Summary: It's easy for this book to pay for itself
Review: When I attended one of Janich's classes, we used some of his home-made training knives. I bought this book then. Since then I've built a few of the projects that he describes in the book.

Many pieces of martial arts training equipment cost $50, $100 or $250 if you buy them new. If you buy this book and build even a couple of the projects you WILL save money when compared to buying the pre-built training equipment.

Even if it does wear out faster than factory-made gear, most of the designs are so inexpensive, you'll save money by building them a couple of times than buying them once.
