My Knife Review

Hurting another person was the last thing on my mind. I never had physically hurt others and no plans to do so. But protection of oneself is another story, explained my husband. He wanted me to get self defense products to do that.

As I was born and raised in a rural area, living in the city was totally new to me. After a few months of marriage, my husband had to leave me alone to fulfill an overseas assignment.

My husband bought a couple of self defense products for my protection but I never even attempted to use them because I was not comfortable using them. When my mother-in-law told me about kubotans and kubotan keychains, I thought they might be different.

Kubotans are aluminum-made and there are many colors to choose from. The tips are either pointed or blunt. What she showed me looked harmless things but are really effective tools to stop an attacker when used to hit him.

Kubotans and kubotan keychains do not look as intimidating as other personal protection gadgets around, yet they can thwart any bad intentions from bad persons.

I bought two that had flat tips so that my husband would not be as worried that I did not have any personal protection while he was away. Then my knowledge of kubotans and kubotan keychains was tested one day.

A man knocked on the door and said he was the building inspector. When I let him in, he pushed me aside and locked the door. I ran to the TV stand where I put my kubotan. He came nearer and as soon as I saw the chance, I struck his throat with it. He writhed in pain and I sped out the door.

The police officers were too late to catch up with my attacker and I had only the kubotans and kubotan keychains to thank.
