Is the circle also meant to use as a single hardened knuckle, ie brass knuckle type defense as well?

I suppose it would work in a pinch, but isn't designed for that. Also, Unless they've changed manufacturing techniques, the only plastic piece is the sheath.

No not at all, the ring is not hardened, mostly plastic, and is not even 1/4 thick. Advice: Always go with a peaceful, non-violent solution. Stay in shape and wear running shoes.

No, it ment to keep your fingers in when your cutting a seat belt so that your fingers don't slip.

No, I just get a blister in the palm of my hand because of the way I work with it. I can understand your thought though. Using a thumb against a crossguard with a complete palm around the grip would certainly aleviate the blister but then how could an indistructable crossguard be made around the strong and unbreakable blade. I guess the Japanese are more agile with the tool. Dorothy in NY

Are you serious?This is primarily a self defense tool, with some abilities as a hatchet type uses.

It's a cinch to deploy. Retraction I think would be difficult. I've lost all my benchmades so I can't test. To be honest, I've gotten drunk and threw 500 dollars worth of knife away recently. I'm drunk right now, actually. You could do it with me middle finger, I think, but then your palm might be exposed too much. I suggest deploying with your dominant hand and retracting with your weak hand if at all possible.

I have to guess...but it's an educated guess, as I have friends who are part of the SCA. As near as I can figure, the cage (the part which goes around your clenched fist) is built to protect your thumb. I would imagine that the difference would be that the cage is mirrored so that a person who is left-handed would have protection for their thumb on the correct side.

No, a thumb grip for real gangsters. The button kind don't always lock. It makes it seem like you stabbed your foe but instead the blade accidentally slides back down. This is the best way to go if you got to stab someone with style.

To stop fingers from being smashed it would work....because you're essentially putting it on backwards, using it as a "door can open but not close all the way" tool. If you want it to hold a door shut, it needs to have the jam to clip onto when it swings to the shut position. Just like the picture shows, it will actually clip to that jam, so you can't open the door without breaking the device or pulling the lever to open it.

I don't think so (but not 100%) - the purpose is for it to harden like a rock... but only after mixed together. I am surprised it hardened before it was mixed.

First, I looked at the end of the tang for any lines that might indicate that the pommel was not part of the full tang and could find none. It looks like one complete piece of steel from tip to hammer/pommel.I also did a continuity check using an ohm meter and it showed as a single piece of steel.

Yes. I cut a piece off and used it to protect a finger injury from bumping. Worked very well, glad I had it on hand, ha ha. Actually this is probably the most likely use for this item. Go to Sam splint YouTube videos to see other uses.

Yes. Frame pinnings have no bearing on this slide group componant. My lone wolf RSA is installed in my Gen3 19, and while I still consider it to be under evaluation, stability under recoil is better. I also have more faith in steel over plastic on a core operating componant. It is a fairly heavy spring best suited for combat / defensive carry loads.

no,it is a prying tool designed for separating two objects namely ball joints.

I don't know. But I accidently shocked my handad and it hurt! Don't know what it would feel like on an attackers hip, thigh etc. Someone asked a while back about the item and I didn't answer. I'll try to find the question again. Think it was about the arcs being on both sides...which mine isn't. Don't know if that is normal or malfunction.

No, but they come at a good price. If you are seeing the picture they have the device on the wrong fingers; it should be on the middle fingers for maximum striking force.

No, sorry. It only has the key way for securing onto a shaft of the specified diameter.

No. It's cheap stainless steel. I'd look at k-bar. I've always used them for camping. They're the best in low price range in my opinion. I will check the tang when I get home. I don't remember. It's been in a junk drawer since I got it

Yes. My son banged the glass with the back of his knuckle and it broke. He removed it
