Handmade Solid Aluminium Kubaton (Kubotan)

Diagram shows possible improvements

Handmade Solid Aluminium Kubaton - A standard size Kubaton or Yawara stick, made for self-defense in a close-quarter situation, the principal areas for attacks in self-defense include bony, fleshy and nerve targets such as knuckles, forearms, bridge of the nose, shins, stomach, solar plexus, spine, temple, ribs, groin, neck, eyes etc. The Kubotan is usually held in either an icepick grip (for hammerfist strikes) or forward grip (for stabbing and pressure point attacks). Common uses include hardening the fist (fistload) for punching, attacking vulnerable parts of an assailant's body, and gaining leverage on an assailant's wrist, fingers and joints.

The Kubaton features a triangular style spike striking surface for use in a standard forward punching motion, this outer striking surface sits between the middle and index finger, it also has two other striking surfaces similar to a meat tenderiser, the entire tool supports all four fingers and has a flat palm rest.
The size is suited to Medium hands/fingers, but will fit smaller hands.

Weight is pretty heavy for its size and thickness.

Features the makers mark - WC-10, and KUBATON 1

Overall I would say this is a great little Kubaton, although with some adjustments could be even better.
These are also great concealable self defence weapons, due it its size it could be hidden in many places.

Dimensions - 80mm wide, 63mm high, 15mm thick.

Bead blast blade, Combined Razor-Sharp & Triple-Point Serrated Cutting Edge

FROM CRKT WEBSITE :

Jim Hammond's Cruiser series of customs seemed like an ideal starting point in a development of a high quality affordable lock back work folder. As the first custom knife maker and Knife makers' Guild member to work with Columbia River Knife & Tool (CRKT), he understood the translation necessary to arrive at their successful production Cascade Lock back.

The blade is a Hammond modified clip point shape, hollow ground from 420J2 stainless steel with a bead blast finish, and available with a Combination Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point Serrated edge.

For maximum comfort, it incorporates Twin-Fused handle technology using a rigid, injection molded high-impact polycarbonate frame with a soft, comfortable diamond patterned injection molded Kraton® grip for a firm, safe hold. This build, combined with the rounded handle cross section, deep finger choil with guard, pronounced butt pommel and blade thumb ramp with friction grooves, results in one of the most secure and comfortable grips in any folder, at any price.
