Yes it is. I bought a bunch of them a while back and used to give them as Christmas presents!

Most of that stuff I bought while living here in Indiana (almost no restrictions apply) or in Michigan (Detroit "Wayne County" has tight restrictions--what's the logic? Someone can go to Oakland county and get knives and other stuff quite easily). Don't know if they can be sent to "Kalifornia"?

My understanding is that there are holds and techniques for them. My use of one would be mostly be to apply to pressure points or strike the eyes, throat, or temples. Have you ever had training with one?

The knife is a Frostwood "Undertaker" bowie. I bought two of them just in case they were ever restricted and something happened to the first one. It has a 9" blade. When we were discussing home defense weapons--I thought about it--it is nearby if I couldn't get to my 12 ga. The SIG is kept in a safe so wouldn't be much good unless I had time.

Also, that little "dagger" between the Kobotan and the sword is called a "CIA letter opener." It is made of fiberglass and nylon and can be sharpened. You can put one in a necktie or tape it to your ankle.

That Don's guns I posted pictures of is a great place to get stuff like this. At least in Indiana. I am pretty sure I got the Kubotans there.
