MUNIO Original Self Defense Keychain Kit - Self Protection Personal Safety Essentials, Portable Defense Kubotan

If you have women in your life that you care about, make sure they have these. I got them for my wife and daughters. We tested them out, ouch, it doesn’t take much to inflict pain or damage. They look stylish and inconspicuous, but they are slightly bulky for pockets, but most women use their bags anyway. They feel safer having them and I feel they might at least have a fighting chance with this on them. Sad world we live in.

I have a couple of these. They make an excellent addition to any EDC to have something light, durable, and even expendable to use to open boxes, break freshness seals, and lots more. More importantly, it can give someone a sense of security and confidence to defend themselves.The price of the Munio is considerably high for a bit of plastic camouflaged as a gaudy key ring accessory, but it is made of ABS plastic, which is rated for high impact and is the 'fancy' plastic gaming keyboards are usually made of. I've used my Munio for pretty much anything I would use a sharp object for and has held its shape and is as pointy as the day I received it. I've also gotten through TSA through major cities without issue on multiple occasions. The artwork makes it as innocuous as it can probably get.The alternative I'm offering is the "Klever Kutter," also sold here on Amazon which you can get a pack of 5 for $10 or pack of 10 for $18. All you have to do to modify the Klever Kutter to become a Munio is snap off the bladed wings and file down the point.If I had to use it as intended in the context of self defense, I would use it in a grip style I've come up with that also works for utility application for when I need to make my strikes both heavy and accurate, unlike the "reverse grip" or "ice pick grip" I've seen the Munio advertised with. Holding the object between the ring and middle finger and nested in the palm generates a greater amount of force and is as natural as throwing a punch, just better because of the force multiplier at the tip. I've just started calling the technique "Suntok Dulo" which means "tip strike".Seems like a smaller individual, say a female or child, wouldn't be able to generate as much force applying a hammer fist upward to an attacker larger than themselves or have the reach / aim to strike the face. Things to consider.Nerd Stats:Munio: 13.0 gramsKlever Kutter ('modified'): 14.4 gramsAs with anything, salt grains.

This is a decent self defense tool, made of very tough and shock resistant ABS plastic. Because this weapon is marketed primarily for female hands, it is quite small and mundane in size and general appearance. Which of course is one of it's major strengths. This is NOT a big scary weapon that you would want to wave around at your attacker. But rather is designed to be shielded discreetly in the hand until needed. (If your fearful of your surroundings this tool should ALWAYS be in your hand. No weapons, guns or knives included, are as effective buried in the bottom of a backpack or purse).Many reviewers have complained that this little guy is not sharp enough. In reality it doesn't have to be. Compare the pointed tip of your Munio to the surface area of your fist for example. This tool is a significant force multiplier that directs the power of your strike into a much more finite area.Of course no sane person relishes the idea of hammering someone's face, neck, (or in a dire emergency) raking someone's genitals or eyes. I KNOW...I KNOW this sounds terrible and it is. If you can't envision yourself attacking with commitment that's OK...that tells me your probably a very nice person).But let's face it, our streets have no shortage of dangerous predators that are perfectly willing to seriously harm you simply because they can.I'm a senior male with fairly large hands and though it is a bit small for me I do carry a Munio daily. Many...many years ago (when God's dog was still a puppy) I trained in the martial art so I can definately see the utility of this tool. Yes...I'm a nice person too, but I refuse to be victimised. I hope you'll make that decision too. Buy one of these. Train with it until it feels comfortable in your hand. Though a long way from a gun, this fully LEGAL tool could help you out of a bad situation. If nothing else, it is definitely much better than nothing at all.

Bought this for my teen daughter for safety. Cute little keychain but could cause some harm. Very strong.

This is very well made. It hurts when just touching someone. It’s also really good to open boxes. I highly recommend this!

I LOVE Munio. I love the name's meaning (I protect/I defend). I love the thin yet incredibly strong structure of this product. After I leave a review for this one, I'll order another one (I mean today) for traveling. I love that you can take it with you on a plane and still not be vulnerable to a physical attack. It's hiding in plain sight, because it's very pretty and just looks like a cute keychain (for those complaining that there's not a plain colored one it's to really disguise it as a weapon, Sherlock) . It's deceiving, because I tested it out immediately upon arrival. If you've ever tried to open a bag of bottled waters, you know it's TOUGH. I sometimes use a knife and still struggle to open it. The knife makes a thin cut. Not Munio! I stabbed and dragged Munio in one swift motion and created that huge gaping opening in the bag. I'm glad there was no water bottles on that side, because I believe they'd have been damaged! I added my keys and whipped them at coats once time, that were hanging up and one flew off the rack 🤣! This is an AMAZING safety tool. I usually don't leave reviews, but I was very impressed. I had to stop because I didn't want to scare my kid further, as he watching me and hearing the racket. God bless this company with more success. As a former victim of violence I wish I had this to protect me in the past!
