This is a nice kubotan design it is shorter than the traditional kubotans which is excellent for concilability (an oversized stick protruding from a keychain will sure get everyones attention and do not talk about the black or metallic colors that scream look at me). The design is really cool and add to the concilability factor of this kubotan. Since it is pointy it will not serve as a compliance or striking tool (less lethal means) and it will serve to respond to an attacker (that is intending to do harm right away) and all that you have in your hand is your set of keys (with this kubotan) . The small knife inside is pretty small but it can serve to convert your kubotan in a short kind of full tang knife (kind of because it is interconnected by a screw section that could fail if a lot of pressure is put upon) if you have enough time to assemble it (all in all a weapon in hand is better than no weapon at all to improve your chances of survival during a dangerous confrontation). Really nice kubotan for the price.

fairly heavy and solid construction, I had doubts concerning the screwing lockup but its very tight when needed. would be 5 stars if the knife was anything more than a glorified letter opener, came completely dull for me (but who's really using the 2" blade in this thing anyhow?) Otherwise another nice purchase from BudK

I like this thing a lot. It's a little shorter than I'd like because I have large hands. It was a good weight to it and is just a really cool looking key chain to the untrained eye. Be warned...the point is much sharper than other kubaton I have seen/ owned. It will break the skin. Do not put it in the same pocket as your cell phone...it looks as though it will have no problem cracking a screen. The concealed blade is a nice little bonus and actually has a decent handle when it's screwed together.

I've been trying to find the right discrete personal defense weapon for quite some time and this kubaton was too good a price to pass up. I love it. It's got serious weight to it and the point is incredibly sharp. I was stupid on the first day I got it and absentmindedly put it in my pocket. It cracked the screen on my phone! I was too impressed to even be mad, and it was time for a new phone anyway. (Got a sweet upgrade so it all worked out.) If you connect with a hit using this kubaton it will probably end the fight. The hidden knife is great too. I use it as a utility knife at work and it's ideal for that task. You have to work to keep an edge on it, but I'd rather have a thick, hard blade on a knife this small rather than something that will snap off so it's a fair trade. This is a purchase you can't go wrong with.

Once again surprised at how nice even the cheap products come! It was heavier than I expected and although the blade was thin it was very sharp and was not flimsy! Giving this as a gift and I'm confident it will be enjoyed.

Very sharp knife even sharper point. Great knife and fantastic detail on it. Omly problem is the knife sometimes falls out. I lost the blade to it that way but I will definitely have to buy it again.

I just got this knife 2 days ago and since then, I used a wire wheel brush on my drill to carefully go over everything in relief on this Kubaton. Now the dragon wrapped around it is really nice all polished up. I didn't even see the skull on top when I bought it, and that polished up really nice too. The blade on mine is pretty sharp, and it didn't take much sharpening to get it razor sharp. You can't beat this deal on a Kubaton and I intend to buy a few more for gifts for my female friends.

Nice little concealed weapon. Great for keychain, walking to the car or on my desk as a letter opener at work. My O washer was snapped in two as well. I didn't replace mine and it still seems to work fine. Not a bad deal for the money.

This is amazing! I recamond this to anyone who wants a sweet self-defense knife! (sorry for spelling errors)

Nice unit. What I was looking for. Will work nicely! The only reason as to date I gave four stars was. When I first unscrewed the blade from it shaft. The "O washer" fell off broken in two. Easy enough fix to buy a new one, but not the point. Shouldn't have come that way, each item should be inspected before shipping. Thx!
