		If you want to use it as a striker and you want to cause some serious pain that only a real hardhead or meth monkey could withstand, just remember one thing...strikes to the head, face or anywhere around the neck, throat, sides of neck or the back of the neck could be lethal...
		I'd go ahead and use the Kubotan in situations not involving a lethal threat and therefore not justifying a lethal response, but then just don't strike towards a target likely to cause death, and like Don said, avoid key flails to the eyes.

		With the keys in place, you can use the Kubotan like a mini-flail or mace and smash them into your attacker's face, bones, etc. You can also strike with the body of the Kubotan itself, but it may not hurt or have as much damaging impact as the keys.
		well the Kubotan isn't the real striking weapon.......You can also strike with the body of the Kubotan itself, but it may not hurt or have as much damaging impact as the keys.
		The Police didn't see it like that, as they consider them to be mini-truncheons/ batons etc. Which with hindsight is a fair enough POV from their position, I just wish that I'd known that at the time and I don't neccessarily agree with the legal position on them, but will comply with the law.
