I live in East St. Paul in a unfavorable neighborhood. I'm not really worried about ever having to use one, but It'd make me feel just a little bit better walking around. It's not like I have bullets whizzing past my head, but I'm used to the suburbs and felt nervous in this convience store where a couple of dudes were a little suplicious looking, you know, looking everywhere, hands in the pockets. shuffling.

I want to know where I can get a good quality kubaton, I'm looking for something That's 4.75' to 5.25' in either stainless steel or titanium. A carbon fiber one would be cool, but I'm looking for something under $45, $50 being the most I'd spend period. Searching google brought up way to many results. Just lookng for a reliable custom or company dealer on line. Thanks.

A 2xAA Maglight flashlight costs about $10 and will work just fine as an impact weapon.
 
go to home depot, buy a section of solid aluminum rod stock (9/16th"), cut to length, bevel the edges, sand smooth, add heavy duty o rings in the center for grip. DONE.

about $10.
 
I'd go for a light rather than just a "kubaton", a light can do all the same stuff and a little bit more. ;)
I have a good number of "fist fillers" from cheepie stuff to more expensive ones and I'd still prefer a torch every time.

A light is also not going to raise any questions if you get stopped by the cops and will raise less questions if you get grabbed for using it. :thumbup:

The flashlight can be taken into places where a purpose-built kubotan might not, also. I carry a Fenix L2D, about the diameter, a little longer, than most kubotans.
 
Oh right, those trident pronged flashlights didn't think of those. Kubatons are cheaper though. And I don't want one for show, I want one to do that wrist trick,, or the use-it-as-a-handle-for-slapping-you-with-keys trick. If I had to of course.

2AA flash light (cheap Mag or a ~$50 Fenix LD20)

Stainless Steel Sharpie (a few bucks)

or just head over to Alpha Innovations, the bonanza of kubatons, they have some that go for $7.
 
Get one of the Schrade or S&W tactical pens. Cheaper than anything else on the market, and they're rock solid.

Why all that? Why metal? Why high cost? I think you should have plenty of them around, so this is my recommendation:

The shrade or smith & wesson- I think they are made from same place, Taylor Cutlery Taiwan. I got a couple to play with and they are workable and you can get colors. about 30-40 bucks. They write nice too using a parker pen refill. A 2 AA cell led maglight they now sell that is a 1 watt led in same diameter as the old AA maglight is good idea. I also have a lot of carbon fiber if you MUST have a kubotan or something and I am sure I could whip something up fast and cheap but the flash light is a better option.
