As far as anti-grab, yes, the front point would work well there. You can drill down on the back of the hands or other parts of the body to stop grabs and chokes. We also left in the digit capture hole just in case you want to end the attack with a finger or thumb capture. Keeping the bottom point at the end of the handle kept all the anti-grab features of the Defender 2.

Because it was low profile, I made a curved handle for both the fingers and the palm area to help retain the smaller tool.

We always sample out our new tools before we clear them for sale to see what the field of others, we know who use the Defenders think of the new tools. Well, it came back with flying colors and orders, too!

This was around 1999. I have traveled overseas with this exact tool and have had to use it once. Also, in 2004, I used this tool to take down a shoplifter who had become a carjacker and was running from authorities.

It was customary for me to exchange my personal carry Defenders with my Marine students who deployed to war zones. They had to bring back my tools so they couldn’t get themselves killed.

They were more worried about disappointing me (Sensei or teacher), so they were more careful in their deployment. My job was done there!

All but one came back; unfortunately, his Humvee hit an IED in Iraq and he died several days later of his injuries.

I will tell my takedown story on the website as it is a bit long here. However, everyone watched me take down a six-foot-seven-inch-tall man who was 350 pounds. I did it with one finger, too, and, of course, my Spec Ops 2. It was quite the show, I can tell you that. The power of these tools in action is impressive.

Let’s look at the features list.

When you need to stop an attacker or, in my case, a shoplifter, a Spec Ops two has all the features you need. Also, being low profile means they don’t see what you are holding, and this can be a huge psychological advantage.

There is free online, unlimited training for all the defenders we offer. You can make use of this training 24/7, 7 days a week.

When flying with the Spec Ops 2, you shouldn’t try to bring it on a plane or similar device. It is best to check it in with your luggage. For onboard carry, a Guppy or Traveler Defender is best.

This self-defense tool is extremely powerful and should only be used responsibly in genuine self-defense situations. Users must be familiar with and comply with all local, state, and federal laws concerning the use of a self-defense tool.
