Pens

Post by choombak » Thu Apr 19, 2012 2:27 pm

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 :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

On a serious note, very nice not the usual Titanium or other exotic metals for these ? :D 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.

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. :D

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

The Native is one of Spyderco's finest design, and extremely sturdy knife to boot!

How do you like the manbug? I have the ladybug... :-)

Hi Amar,

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

Chief I know you are a expert Krav Magaa Practioner and fit as a fiddle. And inspite of your old age :mrgreen: and greying hair :mrgreen: , and receeding hairline :mrgreen: can kick my butt.

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

On a more serious note, wah, what fine steel some lucky people possess...
I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.
