Patent attributes
A self-defense tool having a blade that is designed primarily for self-defense is described. The design is intended to eliminate intent to kill on the part of the user when used in defense of an attack. The tool cannot easily be used as an offensive weapon. Thus, when used properly, the tool is geared to take the intent to kill away from the user. The tool is designed to hit the pressure points or places of an attacker and give time for the user to make a critical decision to run or defend. The sharpened blade portion has a reverse cut that is intended to cut more as an attacker pulls away than when the sharpened blade portion is thrust forward. The design minimizes the probability of self-injury by the tool, while maximizing the ability to defend the user from the attacker.
