The whip itself is very basic and rootermentry in design. It is a wooden handle with a plastic covered braided cable coming out of it. That is it. Very simplistic. At first glance you wonder "this is it?" There is some branding on the wooden handle, which is nice and smooth, and that is it. A few of the things that I found this whip lacking was, at the end of the cable, there was no end cap. Just exposed wire. Now there is no other information in the packing. And how I was exposed to the product it didnt say if the cable itself was stainless steel, but even then, I wouldn't imagine that it would be a good thing for water or moisture to get inside of it. Also there is no real understanding of how the cable is attached to the handle, as there is no visible milling or bolting. So maybe industrial glue?
The other issue I take with it, is that there is no grip on the handle. It is smooth wood. Nor is there a wrist strap or anything to secure it to your body should an assailant try to take it from you. And if your hands were wet, you would lose your grip on it. You could attach your own wrist strap, and maybe woodburn or make sometype of hand grip. But these things seem like a design flaw.
Here is what the company had to say about their product:
- Great Self Defense Baton, this is a weapon, not a toy.
- Easy to retract, there is a hole to fix the cable.
- Wooden handle,light weight.
- Only 120g weight. Full length 60cm. Handle Length 14cm. Whip length 46cm.
- Seven-core Steel cable, very solid.
- The length is very suitable for swing, no too long, not too short.
