Truly an excellent defensive tool
This is one of the best products available in the self defense world, and arguably the most useful in the pocket stick/yawara world. The item fits comfortably in the hand, with the three bumps fitting snugly between the fingers. It is a versatile item, acting as an effective fistload for punching as well as turning each end of the fist into a super concentrated striking area. Although the item is similar to a standard kubotan, it cannot be used as a keychain without homemade modifications. To test the effectiveness of the tool, I struck a wooden fence with a hammerfist strike, Koga in hand. It left a massive and deep dent, and had minimal grip shock on impact. To further test, I placed a brick on a solid surface and and struck it with a hammer blow. The brick shattered into 3 pieces. I can only imagine what this tool could do to an enemy, so it's best to use discretion when striking with the pointed ends. Still, if the situation calls for it, this tool is an excellent equalizer when confronted by a stronger, bigger, or tougher opponent.
