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.

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

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

and greying hair

, and receeding hairline

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

Careful moin, he may do a 48 step kata on your head!!

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