This is a great little addition to your key ring. I purchased these for all my daughters and my wife; I also made sure they had a good Martial Arts based self-defense course to teach them how to properly use these weapons. The surface of the Spiral makes it easier for a woman to grip and hold. They would never use them offensively but I know they are comfortable with them as an added defensive option.
Can't say enough about how pleased we are. The 15 is just perfectly sized for my 8 and 9 year old grandsons. I purchased 19 1/2 for myself. Both sizes are well balanced and very good quality...........
For the money an incredible value. Looks good, and I am able to move well when practicing........
