This is my "Fattest" Titanium Yawara stick using thicker .685" Titanium Rod
.
You will be carrying a little more weight (approximately 6.4 ounces), but I've carried a prototype regularly without issue
.
In an emergency this stick would prove useful to bust out a vehicle's window to free yourself from a sinking vehicle, or extract an infant or pet in distress from a locked vehicle on a hot day. (using a "sharp" controlled hammer fist strike, with minimal follow through in order to minimize the possibility of cutting your own hand)
(Also useful as a "Door Knocker", or "Pill Crusher" to crush and mix your medications into a liquid, for less stomach upset &/or faster absorption to ease that headache a little faster! I use a bottle cap to crush the powder into. "Acupressure" procedures are also possible uses for this stick :-)
These are designed, hand made, & assembled in the USA by:
Ti Rod Tactical™
, and have the same
Fist-Lock™
firm grip design as many of my other compact Yawara Sticks. This is my heaviest weight model, but I also offer several thinner models in other offerings,... and at a more "compact" price :-)
A truly affordable and practical modern tool in the discipline of "Yawarajutsu"!
A secure grip is something that has often been lacking with the also compact Kubotan style sticks, as they most always seem a bit slippery to me In Kubotan sticks such as the well known "Fury", multiple deep finger grooves are often CUT OUT in an attempt to add some security to the all metal grip.
Kubotan sticks are already rather thin, so to cut material away in an attempt to add "grip" is going in the wrong direction. I think what I present here is much better, and initial testing bear that out.
So,.....I offer instead a basic Kubotan sized Yawara stick shape, but having a VERY comfortable and secure grip with a high coefficient of friction "raised" reinforced rubber central area, that is optimized to the user's hand like no other!
The innovative raised central reinforced rubber grip nestles rather nicely into the small "pocket" created where the fingers meet the hand when it is cupped! The use of this grip design also "mechanically locks" the stick laterally between the first and pinky fingers within a closed fist,....with the middle and ring fingers contributing substantial additional gripping forces.
I have chosen the name "Fist-Lock
™
"
to describe these very worthwhile and effective attributes!
I make these up in a 6-1/2" length as offered here, and also a more compact 5-7/8" length offered in another listing. I've found these lengths works well in a practical EDC "compact" size range, .....and with the central reinforced rubber section that allows a firm and comfortable grip for the "average" or smaller sized hand. For point of reference in the photos shown above, my own hand measures 3-3/4" across at the widest part and 3-1/4" across at the base of the fingers, .....and is about average I'd think.
The central grip "ends up" about 1-13/16" in length once installed. It's so tight going on that it actually compresses about 1/4 of an inch in length! :-) This gives a solid "locked in" GRIP with a great ergonomic "feel" in hand, and in a compact size for ease and comfort in pocket carry!
However, if your hand is exceptionally small or large, let me know and I can optimize the stick and central grip length that will lock the stick within your closed fist and give an ergonomic fit and feel that simply feels great! Hopefully you'll want to get more training time in,.....and that's always beneficial. :-)
It's tough to describe how solid and comfortable this feels in several strike positions (EVEN when WET!),.....but I wouldn't have invested so much time and money into this were it not a significant improvement in the "art" of Yawara and Kubotan sticks.
Also, for lots of reasons it makes sense to consider carrying multiple sticks at various locations upon your person, which is what I most often do. You never know when a single stick might be unreachable should you be wrapped up in a particular way without warning, and having various stick types available will help to counter that possibility.
To that end,.....I am offering (in separate listings), various lengths and thicknesses of this same great Titanium alloy, but with a variety of carriage systems. Please check back often on my other listings.
Thanks for your consideration.
NOTE: ....PLEASE make sure Yawara and Kubotan style sticks are legal to carry in your Country, State, City, or Town
before
purchasing. Some areas may have restrictions on such things, and I cannot possibly know about every specific law in every area of the world. :-) Your purchase confirms you have complied with your local laws. Thank You.
