Tactical pen

 

— kubotans and yawaras are not knives – they are devices for hand-to-hand combat (mainly self-defense), made in the form of a short rod. They are supposed to be clamped in the hand to strike at pain zones, conduct counterattacks, escort people, or simply to strengthen the blow. Formally, the yawara is a traditional Japanese weapon, and kubotan is a trademark under which a modern modification of the yawara is produced in the form of a keychain. However, most often such devices are found in the format of tactical pens. Compact dimensions allow you to constantly carry such products with you, using them for self-defense, as a high-strength lever, for breaking glass (many models are armed with a special cullet), etc. In addition, yawaras in such a form factor are skillfully disguised as writing pens, which allows you to avoid unnecessary inconvenient questions from law enforcement agencies.
