Just received this the other day and it is somewhat different from the one pictured. The hand grip area is completely solid and has 3 little donut like rings equally spaced in it dividing the grip area into four parts, one for each finger. This makes for a very secure grip. The diameter of the grip area is sligtly smaller than the top and bottom parts. It's made of aluminum and only weighs 1.6 oz. so is very easy to carry. Even just lightly tapping it on bony areas of the back of my hand caused a some pain so I'm sure a hard wallop with it would be painful indeed. The shipping was fast and I'm quite satisfied with it. Youtube has some good videos on the proper usage of a kubotan you might want to check out as well.

I bought three of these (not the one picture but the one they send, lol) for my wife and two coworkers. Definitely an effective Kubotan of the pointed variety. Lighter than most others and thinner because of the finger groves. The three that were sent (through the 'martial art...' sellers) were all aluminum, not plastic. I've never had a plastic Kubotan so couldn't really say which is better.
This one is not for my hands, which need something a little thicker to grip and thrust with, but my wife prefers hers (this one) to my standard flat end Kubotan. This one does look more stylish and cruel if your looking for shock value. Some of my coworkers friends have commented on the devious phallic shape (shows what kind of friends they are).
If your looking for something light in your pocket/purse but still effective on pain if not more so, this is a good choice. Though thinner, it won't slip your grip on slams because of the finger grooves. It's not going to load the average man's fist though for the same reason. When I make a fist around it, I can hardly feel the difference compared to not holding it.
My wife and I have tried some hold escapes with it, all on me, and it is effectively painful. Doesn't take much for that point to make an impression. You can get pointier Kubotans but then you can also put an icepick on your key ring. This won't break skin but it'll probably go just as deep.
Wish it was cheaper but still a great buy.

First, the "holes" in the item picture are actually light reflections. This is a solid piece of smooth, black-anodized aluminum. My average hand fit around it perfectly.

Like many of the other reviewers, I tested this weapon on myself! There aren't many weapons where this is safe to do. The amount of difference in pain threshholds for hands vs shoulder was a lot more than I expected. Even a light amount of pressure is enough to start some pain. Try it on yourself!

I also had a chance to try this on a large dog that jumped up on me. A light touch to his side was enough to get the dog's complete attention, and slightly firmer pressure was enough for the dog to back down.

This is also a good "fiddly" object. Smooth, solid, and with a good feel. I've enjoyed carrying it around so far. Highly recommended.

EDIT -- Kubaton Self Defense is a slightly different design, but the tip is blunter, and it hurts less. But I also found it slightly more fun to fiddle with. I like both, but I'm going to give the nod to the Fury.

I have two other kubotans, different type and/or style. This one is excellent, and just as pictured, despite a complaint I saw in another review. The white spots on the picture are reflections of light, so maybe that confused another customer. This is solid and completely black, with a blunted point and ample grooves for easy gripping. I am a female with a small hand, and I find it quite satisfactory to carry in and out of stores and my home, for protection in case I'm approached. Once in the store, the kubotan slides easily into my pocket, with my key handing out in view (I don't want the kubotan visible) and within easy reach. This product is an excellent value. I bought several for other female family members. Caution: cannot be carried on an airplane.

i don't know too much about these weapons but this one seems to get the job done. you can stick your thumb through the key loop for better grip. when you hold it that way there is a good 2 inches or so sticking out. the item is made of very hard plastic, doesnt seem like it would easily break.

As a lifetime student of the martial arts and self-defense, including all kinds of stick arts, I found this model to be an excellent value. Having been trained and certified in the Persuader Baton, Kubaton, yawara stick and other short stick systems, I have quite a few different models.

There is a lot to like about this particular yawara stick. 1. It is a solid metal short baton, which makes it quite durable. 2. The finger grooves makes it fit in your hand tightly. 3. The pointed end is very effective to use for strikes. 4. This short stick is effective to use as a control tool. I always try to test any weapon I own and I found this model was very durable even when striking other metal and cement objects.

I do have one warning. If you intend to use this as a key holder, do not carry it with you on an airplane or take it to courtwith you. It may be considered a weapon. One look at this key chain holder and it is clear that it can also be used as self-defense weapon. This is why I also carry a plastic key like device for my keys rather than a traditional Kubaton or yawara stick.

In conclusion, if you are seeking a simple and effective self-defense tool that is reasonably priced, strong and durable you may want to order the Fury tactical key chain.

For such a cheap product I expected a real shoddy piece of work.
I was amazed at what I received! This thing is a real piece of work!
Fits perfectly in my hands which are larger then average.
The tip has not deteriorated and I have tried it on multiple surfaces to include solid metal.
The outside coating makes it easy to keep a hold of.
My only gripe about the product is the key ring portion...
Yes it comes with and easy to remove I just find it hilarious from a tactical aspect.
My recommendation is that people pick up some 550 cord and run that through the hole and attach it to your belt.

For a zombie defense aspect, this item should be sufficient to crack a skull.
However you will want to wear gloves as the splatter could cause infection in any cut you may have.

Good quality. Seems it will work well if it is ever needed. It is nice to know I have a backup it it is ever needed.

I've purchased this for my daughters, my girlfriend and myself. In the hands of an inexperienced potential victim it is a good tool for minor confrontations against an equally inexperienced attacker. With a little bit of research on it's use you will find that a well placed blow anywhere on the wrist, forearm or bicep will generally be enough to deter anyone. Keep in mind however that this is not to be used for blows to the head! This is a serious tool that may save a victim from assault, rape or worse. Yes, it will eventually lose it's shiny black sheen, but how it looks does not take away from it's intended use....you are trying to protect yourself not win a shiny gadget contest. I highly recommend this product if you are looking for a durable, well made impact tool. I would also note, though I haven't experimented, that this could possibly used as an escape tool for breaking car windows should you find yourself trapped/submerged and need to break a side window to get out. The only thing I note is that the picture is not is delivered, this one is basically the same shape but solid.

Exactly as advertised, I think it is metal, another reviewer said aluminum and they're probably right, and it is heavier than it looks. probably about the weight of a classic iPod (only item I could think of to compare it to). I have large hands for a woman, almost 8 inches from thumb to pinky finger with my whole hand outstretched, and this kubaton feels just right in my hand. The tapered point is definitely better than the blunt ones, myself and a few willing, albeit skittish, volunteers tried it out on multiple pressure points. It hurts an extensive amount with just a moderate amount of pressure, especially in fleshy areas such as thighs, stomachs, the sides of the lower back, and above the armpit, a bit under the collar bones. I can only imagine how much damage it would do if I was fully intent on defending myself against someone who was trying to cause me harm and not just messing around with it with friends. Keep it handy wherever you go. 5 stars.
