Pens
Slightly moving away from knives, but still remaining in the territory of a tool - stainless steel pens. The thicker one is County Comm Stainless Steel Embassy Pen, and the other sleeker one is Maxmadco Retractable pen. The Embassy Pen can be used as a kubotan due to its heft and the rounded ends, while the retractable pen can easily make a dent in the car's metallic body.

What do you do with this pen , tickle someone to death
On a serious note, very nice not the usual Titanium or other exotic metals for these ? and since you are more of a user than a collector how useful is a kuboton for SD without any formal training in it's use.

Re: Pens
I don't use it as a kubotan (nor intend to do so, unless I require those 2 seconds to escape a predator). It is so heavy, merely dropping it from a foot or two on your hand/leg is enough to cause temporal severe pain (think of hitting a chair while walking, or something similar). However, I use the pen as a hammer - mostly to flatten the staple pin pointy ends. The Embassy pen does come in Ti, but I prefer SS for the heft, and as a companion to my Maxmadco SS pen.Moin. wrote:What do you do with this pen , tickle someone to deathchoombak wrote:Slightly moving away from knives, but still remaining in the territory of a tool - stainless steel pens.

Moin, the kubotan works even better with a study and practice of pressure points. Will demonstrate when we meet next timeMoin. wrote:

Well, I have used the Manbug only a couple of times, like cut open the Fedex package of Native, a couple of cardboard boxes etc.
The grip and feel is excellent for a small knife. I was able to cut the package effortlessly and smoothly.
Also, I'm able to open it with one hand easily. I am extremely happy with my purchase.
Regards,
Abhi

Therefore I am reluctant to be your crash test dummy for a demo on pressure points and effective use of kubotan
