    Woodsman double guard

    Good handle shape. 👍

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    Decided to try one of the Swisstech knives from WalMart. Initial thoughts: good size, generally good shape. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to put her to work while I'm recovering from surgery John

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    I do have a set of Ti chopsticks for field use. Do in fact eat with them sometimes. 😁

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    I like it, except for the obvious striker tip base.

    Can you take a pic for us?

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    Yeah, I was jabbed in the solar plexus in 2019 while breaking up a fight. It only looked like a bee sting that day. I think my tough Magpul shirt limited penetration. This was on a Thursday, I believe. That weekend was a battle assembly, and I had significant bruising by Saturday This...

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    Looks sturdy. How's the grip?

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    This suggestion was a good one! It feels very solid, and also feels like it will write well without raising hot spots. Medium ball, which I like. We'll see how it holds up to impact These appear to be "surprisingly nice for the price". Not as heavy, sturdy or grippable, they still appear...

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    Yeah, I absolutely don't want anyone to believe something has to be marketed as a weapon to be useful to defend yourself. The world is full of things that can be used on humans, which is why trying to control people by legislating objects never works. When I was just a child, my maternal...

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    Oh, great! Any chance you could take a pic in your hand, and/or next to a regular pen?

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    The first definitely flies under the radar: maybe I'll add it to my Amazon order. My only concern when looking at it is grip. The second looks super tactical, so good grip, but looks like it's made to penetrate tank armor. 🫤 😁 ...okay, I added the first, and an inexpensive stainless steel...

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    The Streamlight Stylus could be an appropriate low-profile impact device. Not a pen, it's got enough light to safely navigate in the dark, and is a stylus, and is a very reasonable ~$20. It's aluminum, but I'd have to handle one to see if it will be strong enough. Anyone have one, or want to...

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    Here is a neat looking pen, but it looks tactical. Here is a not tactical looking pen, with tough exterior from boutique EDC seller CountyComm, but it's $80.

    Oh, yeah. It's a powder, you can see it in the air sometimes.

    Welcome to the New Workforce.

    I dunno. One of the best ways to meet enthusiasts, is to go to shows for that thing. I've met up with lots of forum members at BLADE, and THR is a shooting forum. If it's important enough, we can make it happen. 🙂 It's great to learn, but the heart of a forum is the members, and how we...

    OC Spray V. Stream

    Oh, I have longtime nasal/sinus issues. My first CS exposure, I popped my mask, and said my name and social then re-sealed without taking a breath. When I saw cadets coming out with big streams of mucus coming out, I wished I had taken a breath. Sooo, fast forward to 2006 and pre-mob. I was...

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    Yeah, I've felt the same.

    Defensive "Marker" and Def Pens

    Almost 30 years ago, there was a lot of buzz in some circles about non-magnetic defensive tools, with companies like Mission Knives and Kevin ("Mad Dog") McClung turning out expensive tools in titanium and synthetic materials like G10. In more recent times, tactical pens have become a common...

    Welcome to the New Workforce.

    We need to meet up sometime, maybe when I'm already that direction visiting my family
