Steel Serpent Kubaton with Dagger

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.

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.

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.

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

These Kubatons are very well built and durable. If your smart, GRAB SEVERAL, NOW!! (I DID!) Get the free shipping. These would make a great gift.

Dollar for Dollar, which is less than $4, this kubaton, is the best value at BUDK. It looks bad a**, although small it looks as though much damage could be done, all the while looking like a decorative keychain fob. I plan to buy more of them.

I like Dragons so this is great. Fits on my key ring and I can easily hold it when walking to and from my car in the parking deck at work.

Perfect weapon for females to use for protection. Light enough to carry easily.

I purchased 16....for now. Giving them to the women in my life. Forget the blade...the point is defense enough! These are easy to grip and if you get hit with one you WILL know it. PLUS...if given time...the point can be rotated around and the blade exposed.

the edge of the blade isn't particularly sharp, but will certainly get the job done in a sticky situation, and the point is extremely sharp. I've accidentally set myself to bleeding trying to clean my nails on more than one occasion. the spike on the other side of the blade works good for a quick reactional blow, but not much more. glass breaker maybe. the tip chips easily on it. the dragon pattern around the handle itself is great. (side note, when the blade is removed from the handle you can screw the spike into the handle to form a longer handle for your blade.)

This thing shipped in super fast and couldn't have come in better condition! It came to me razor sharp! Makes me feel plenty safe heading downtown at night!

overall a great buy.. good design, blade, and tip. Blade was a little dull but that's an easy fix and the tip is pretty lethal by itself. I'm happy with the buy and would do it again.

When I received this item, I took one look and said this thing looks angry. The tip itself has a crazy point, I don't think I'll even need the knife in it. Wouldn't mind another one to keep at my desk as a letter opener and decoration piece. Nice style and usability.

This is a great kubaton! Its nicer and thicker than all the other kubatons out their and the design is very nice, and for 4 bucks you cant go wrong.

very awesome! fully what i expected, and also a message to all owners of this item the blade can be pulled out and the kubaton spike can be put inside the kubaton and turned into a knife w/ a long handle. great!!!

Ok I've been looking for a decent Kubaton. With some attitude to match me. Being a security guard, you need some personal self defense against violent individuals. I found all I need in this Kubaton. I think the blade is useful but have found no real need for it. If you ever wanna get an attackers attention quick. Just jab this Kubaton's sharp tip into some hard muscle points. They will think twice. If that doesn't work some quick jabs to the boney areas of the body works as a great, painful, attention getter. Thank You Bud K!

great detail. holds on well, but knife is a lil dull. well designed though

Post 911, it's tough to find self defense implements which can be carried here in NYC without landing oneself in trouble with law enforcement, who are understandably more strict in enforcing relevant local ordinances such as 4 inch blade lengths for pocket knives, for example. If one peruses this site they can see that many of the items offered cannot be sold/shipped to NYC, edged throwing implements and certain martial arts items among them. This item, aside from it's negligible 3 dollar cost, (good lookin' BudK!!!) also swings on my key-ring everywhere I go with no problems at ALL, random transit check points, magnetometer screened buildings, I haven't had a problem at at all. I'm buying a half dozen to give as gifts for the holidays. Great Product!

Very solid construction, I am carrying it, really no need for the knife unless you want to do some serious damage, but the point is Sharp Enough though!

This kubaton's design looks cool and is perfectly functional. I have one on my keychain, and I feel alot safer having bought it. The spike tip is pretty sharp, but like the other reviewer said, be careful not to cross-thread/strip it. The blade didn't come razor sharp, but you could easily get it sharpened.

This Kubaton is an Excellent Self Defense Tool. Light weight, easy to conceal in your pocket until some crazy perp attacks you. There is a SM blade inside/attachment good in case you need to cut rope or something, but in the heat of the moment just use the Kubaton with a standard center grip and let into your attackers jaw, temple, eyes, throat, sternum, base of the skull, forearm, bicep, underarm, hands, thigh, back of the spine etc. Self Defense Instructor/U.S.Marine

I just recieved this item today, the detail of the art encompassing the Kubaton is great. It is also a very sturdy product, I have put it under a few stress tests and it has performed admirably. A great buy for only $4.99

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

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.

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.

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!

This was my first buy and was satisfied. It came dull the point is sharp though. When you unscrew and flip the blade around its easy for it to come lose I could pull it out of the handle with minimal effort.

Makes your keys an escape tool. Glass breaker and hidden knife a plus.

I thought I would pickup a couple of these just to see for myself... they are bigger and heavier than I thought they would be, but the blade was not sharp at all. but for the money the blade won't matter because the tip of the sheath would do plenty of damage by it's self I would get one for every member of the family.

This thing is a piece of work. The sheath is super sharp, to the point that i dont know if i want this thing in my pocket. The blade is super pointy too, but the edge on it is in serious need of being sharpened. The design on it is very well done, and I like the skull at the top. Overall it is definitely worth having, and a great gift item also.

It's not bad. I definitely like the design. The knife inside is really not very useful. I would have liked this item better if it had either been one solid piece, or foregone the blade and allowed for a small amount of storage such as an emergency $20 bill or something.

I find the design works well to mask the purpose of the kubaton. The point on the end is quite sharp, perhaps a bit sharp to keep in one's pocket. The knife is the only real complaint, it's a decent blade, but when it's attached to the end, it tends to easily pop out of the threads. Personally, I prefer the Mini Night Watchmen, item# 17 UC0255B, which I also own.

It looks very nice, however the blade its self isn't sharp at all. Its pointy, and so is it's sheath, but it's barely a letter opener. Good for show though.

Its a decent quality Kubaton, however when I received it, I noticed that the blade was very dull. The detail is nice but the overall quality could be better. I also noticed that the tip of the Kubaton (the pointy end) chipped easily but other than that its an ok self defense piece. I do hope though that it never has to be used.

This is a great defense weapon or backup blade... HOWEVER, the blade is rather dull, and after a couple weeks of pocket carry with medium use the blade will no longer screw into the handle, rendering the entire thing useless.

its a really nice blade it was pretty dull and i had to sharpen it but other wise really gd

For the money it looks real nice. Good casting. However the handle is zinc and a bit soft. Careful not to cross thread. Not too sharp but that is easily remedied. I'd buy another.
