A self-defense weapon for women and others, comprising a lightweight, portable single or multi-bladed weapon adapted to be held in the hand and when activated by squeezing, one or more blades are exposed outwardly between the fingers. When the hand is relaxed, the weapon is deactivated, and the blades retract into the body of the weapon (sheath) protecting the user, so the weapon may be safely carried in the user's pocket or purse.

This invention relates to a rotating device which permits the reorientation of knives, mainly combat and survival knives, by forming part of the handle and characterized by gripping the knuckles of the hand. The device comprises: an axle which is anchored to the tang of the knife, the other end of which is shaped like a flattened disc to allow the knife to rotate, and the other end of which is shaped like a flattened disc to allow the knife to rotate.

The movable handle of the knife, which is characterized by containing a piece with an oval hole in longitudinal direction to capture the knuckles of the index, middle, ring and little fingers, and keep the hand attached to the handle while the knife is reoriented up and down and vice versa. In addition, it contains a slotted magnet that prevents twisting of the movable handle when the weapon is holstered.

A one-hand operable telescopable knife assembly comprising an elongated outermost jacket enclosing an internal emission or containment chamber and an elongated knife blade assembly. A thumb stud is attached to and extends radially outwardly from the elongated knife blade assembly. The thumb stud extends slidingly through an elongated guide slot to permit a first locking notch to a second locking notch movement and control of the knife assembly contained within the outermost jacket. The first locking slot and the second locking slot are arranged at opposite ends of but are also arranged on the same side of the elongated guide slot. A transversely arranged slot on the blade assembly simultaneously lockingly engages a jacket locking tab at the second end of the outermost jacket upon rotation of the blade assembly by the thumb stud entering into the second locking slot on the side of the outermost jacket.

A device for carrying cordage includes a flexible, elongate and planar inner core having two opposite longitudinal sides and two opposite ends; and a cord wound around the two opposite longitudinal sides of the inner core along a longitudinal direction between the two opposite ends. The inner core and the wound cord together form an insert which has sufficient rigidity that facilitates full insertion of the insert into the sheath, strap, belt, or enclosure without bunching or kinking of the cord in a way that blocks a trailing portion of the cord from inserting into the sheath, strap, belt, or enclosure. A method for manufacturing the device is also disclosed.

A self-defense apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a sleeve sized to fit over an arm of a user, with a forearm portion, and an elbow portion. A housing is secured to the forearm portion. An opening is formed that leads into the housing. The opening is disposed near the elbow portion. A spike is disposed within the housing. The spike includes a first end having a point and a second end having a stop. The stop prevents the spike from fully exiting the housing. The present invention further includes a spring biasing the spike to be substantially outside of the housing through the opening. The apparatus includes a deployed position including the spike substantially outside of the housing, and a retracted position including the spike substantially within the housing.
