Ti Rod Tactical

It is an unfortunate reality of modern life that individuals are often assaulted, and therefore choose to carry defensive weapons which can help them counteract the actions of an attacker. The world is not what it once was, and so there is a real need to have something with you daily that can be easily and discretely carried,.....and that can greatly increase your defensive response should the need arise. Even if a you regularly carry a firearm or knife, there are times when that will not be possible in any number of restricted areas. Also, a longtime Law Enforcement Officer working a tough area of St. Louis Missouri has this incite as to a secondary weapon being useful when reviewing my product on Amazon:

5.0 out of 5 starsMade in the USA Built to Last a Lifetime! !!! By william on May 17, 2016

"In the 15 years I have worked in one aspect or another in law enforcement, I have bought many impact weapons, from tactical pens to mini mag lights, this is one of the most solid and beautifully hand crafted sticks I have owned. A secondary weapon is essential to carry even if you carry a firearm, because in a close quarters situation, you may need a weapon to ward off your attacker to give you precious seconds to either escape or deploy your firearm. I carry this stick openly in my hand at times and it does not draw any attention, I will carry it when jogging, try doing the same with a knife, that may draw a crowd lol. This stick I have owned for about six months, still looks like it did the first day I received it, very solid and built to last a lifetime. I love the fact, it is made in the USA the quality is impeccable. I would really recommend this stick to anyone that is interested, buy one your life may depend on it. Thanks and stay safe."

Also, in some instances choosing to deploy a "non lethal" device could keep you out of the legal system for a perceived "inappropriate" escalation of force, were a firearm or knife used instead. In today's litigious society,....this is not an unreasonable concern. It is to this end that I have designed and manufacture ( in the USA :-) a variety of Aerospace Grade 5 Titanium Yawara and Kubotan "style" defensive palm sticks, and Grade 5 Titanium Tactical Walking Sticks. I regularly carry several in fact, as a precaution should one be lost in an attack, or I am grabbed in any way restricting access to my main stick. And of course,....you do have TWO hands to fill in order to double your efficiency, should you be unfortunate in facing multiple attackers! My Yawara sticks are super tough and more compact than most, (having traits of both Yawara and Kubotan sticks), so you're much more likely to have it (or them :-) on you if ever needed. Frankly, some currently available Yawara Sticks in the marketplace are absolutely MONSTROUS in size and impossible to carry discretely! A self defense stick left at home most times because it is too cumbersome to carry everyday will do you NO good should there come a time you really NEED it! Think of it like " Life Insurance",...where you hope you never need to make use of it,.... but glad it's there IF you do. My Ti sticks also incorporate innovative grip, carriage, and "one motion" release designs on the models using a separate carriage system. A US Utility Patent has been filed recently on my Yawara sticks and the various carriage designs, (and at significant cost), ....so you know how serious I believe the need to be. Aerospace Grade 5 Titanium (Tempered 6AL-4V Alloy) is a much stronger and harder material than wooden, aluminum, or polymer made sticks, ...and won't rust either as Titanium is inert to the elements. AN OVERVIEW AND SOME NOTEWORTHY FEATURES

For some, the traditional double ended straight Yawara stick shape might be the most practical, and is simply carried in any available pocket. However, I think you will find my designs a bit more "discrete" than any other if carried in this way. Every element of the designs are incorporated in order to make them the absolute most compact in size without giving up anything in effectiveness or gripping ability. Having a narrow profile and just 5-1/2", 6", 6-1/8", or 6-1/2" in length (depending on stick style and what's best suited to your hand size and personal preference),.... the stick nestles rather well and goes unnoticed in most any pocket! The innovative raised central reinforced rubber grip nestles 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 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! Impossible to describe in written word is just how comfortable this grip also feels within the hand, and when used in various striking positions. It truly is a very comfortable "ergonomic" design that will surely be noticed when handled. My shortest "door knocker" and "key ring" models will provide a very useful secondary self defense response for a very large group of home delivery individuals whose day to day business can take them into tough neighborhoods and households where they can be attacked and/or robbed without provocation. They are ALSO a perfectly reasonable choice for most anyone wishing to have "something" with them daily that is not a burden to carry or a device with a threatening shape, yet can greatly increase their ability to defend themselves. My Patent Attorney advised me he had taken at least SEVEN flights over the first few months of owning this short defensive stick, with the key ring carriage components and attached to his carry on bag. That will surely change as this stick gets better known in the marketplace, BUT it does show the benign, non-threatening "look" to this product. Stay Safe!
