4.0 out of 5 stars Good Alternative Weapon But..., March 11, 2007

This is a fine weapon for the average citizen who is not inclined to carry a knife or handgun, but it cannot be as effective as a cane or a police baton, two other alternatives to consider. The cane is perhaps the most innocent seeming yet it has reach advantages over the kubotan and will deal a most damaging strike.

The above review is a good one, but please ignore the advice about sharpening keys and using the kubotan as a flail. This is unlikely to provide any real stopping power to a determined attacker. The kubotan excels as a loadfist weapon, so use it to enhance your hammerfist and punch strikes. You can also use the point to 'stab' your attacker's body points and bony targets like the back of the hand can be excruciatingly painful when struck. In other words use the kubotan like it was intended to do so. Nowhere in any traditional yawara training is it used like a mini-flail like the above poster suggested.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality, but forbidden as a carry-on item when flying, November 27, 2010

This review is from: Self Defense Keychain Kubotan (Misc.)

I use this product primarily as a keychain. Its weight and heft allow me to know without having to reach into my pants pocket that I haven't left my keys behind. I have carried it around with me everywhere, including through airport security, without any problems. That is, until today, when airport security at LAX detained me for over half an hour for carrying this kubotan keychain on my person. I tried to explain that as a weapon a pen would be more dangerous, but they informed me that it was a martial arts weapon on the list of prohibited items. It was interesting to observe how quickly the number of security officials grew as I sat there while they took my information and debated whether it was illegal or not. So as nifty and useful as this keychain is, don't forget to save yourself some grief and check it with your luggage when you fly.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's Durable and Helpful, December 10, 2007

Wrap your hands around this and you know that you have, in some way or another, an upperhand when your safety is put at stake. I literaly can say my friends still in practice of many different forms of martial arts are afraid of his helpful hunk of metal. It's a good size, fits in your back pocket front pocket, anywhere. I carry it next to my wallet, it's perfect honestly. The fist this creates is powerful and with a little boxing technique you can land it on all the boney areas that it works best in. This is not a product just for women, infact, I feel they should target men more, it's obviously a good product otherwise I wouldn't keep ranting about it. The rounded end seems sharp in the picture, it is not sharp, but affective, makes a centered area of imapact which would work great if attacked from behind, quick powerful jabs to the eyes, the ribs, the neck, kneecaps, and even holding it opposite in such situations still keep the kubaton helpful. Trust me when I say, it's a good addition to your everyday grab and go things for your pocket. And also, don't bother with the key ring, it's practical for carrying but why would you want a flail if you are in danger of real problems, I doubt that a few mm of sharpness will hurt.
