Black Steel Guardian: Three-Section Expandable Baton for Personal Protection
Construction and Practical Use
The baton operates on the principle of three interlocking steel tubes. It is deployed into action with a swift flick of the wrist, which locks the segments firmly in place using friction (known as a friction lock). To retract it, simply strike the tip of the baton vertically against a hard, firm surface. The anti-slip rubber grip with a diamond pattern ensures the weapon won't slip from your hand, even when wearing gloves or in wet conditions. With an extended length of 25.6" (650mm), this model is ideal for maintaining a safe distance from an aggressor.

A Glimpse into the History of Impact Weapons
While the expandable baton may seem like a modern invention, its roots go deep into history, tracing back to various impact weapons such as maces or war hammers. The direct ancestors of modern batons were the police truncheons and billies that became standard issue for the London Metropolitan Police in the 19th century. The real revolution came with the demand for concealed carry and portability, leading to the development of telescopic mechanisms now used by security forces worldwide. An interesting fact is that modern steel batons are engineered to maximize kinetic energy at the tip, making them a highly effective defensive tool even against a physically stronger attacker.
Maintenance and Safety Warnings
To ensure your baton serves you well for years, keep it dry and clean. After exposure to rain, wipe the segments with a dry cloth and occasionally apply a thin film of silicone oil to the steel parts. Never use petroleum jelly or thick grease, as these can attract dirt and clog the mechanism. Warning: This baton is intended strictly for self-defense. Never aim for the head, neck, or vital organs, as strikes to these areas can cause permanent injury or death. Before use, please check your local laws regarding the possession and carrying of defensive weapons.
