Questions & Answers

The photo shows the instructional video on this product. Does it come with it?

I have a height of 6'2 inch and a weight of 200 pounds. The glove compartment of my glove box contains this. Whenever I am going into a more risky setting, I slip it in my pants or jacket pocket. The main purpose was to feel comfortable and confident that some influence could be exercised in the event of a violent situation. There is no problem with the question. When I received my order, there was no accompanying DVD. I, too, had ordered the instrument expecting a CD to accompany it. I kept the pen, but I didn't want the CD. I was satisfied with the item, but I was not impressed with the CD part.

Do I have to register this item with the state of California if I want to carry it?

Kalifornia does not allow the carrying of anything. A PEN/Marker is what it is in reality. Even TSA does not restrict the use of writing devices ('defense' pens can be taken aboard an As far as this writing device is concerned, it is neither insidious nor dangerous, nor 'special,' aside from the fact that it can serve as a weapon when Intriguingly, I thought it noteworthy to mention that 'cold steel' is a knife manufacturer, and my first impression is that the 'pocket shark' was made from It is only a very thick piece of plastic, which is disappointing to me. The brand 'cold steel' may have a strong reputation, but plastic doesn't do the brand any good. It probably had something to do with profit margins and production, I suppose. My apologies, I digress a bit.

What is the manufacturer of this Pocket Shark?

It appears that this pocket shark is manufactured in the great United States of America

Does anyone have a problem with the Pocket clip breaking off?

In my first one, I used to clip it on my pocket every day and it did break off eventually.

Selected User Reviews For Cold Steel Pocket Shark

I am sorry but I did not enjoy The large diameter of the disc does not fit comfortably in my shirt pocket because of its large size
3/5

In order to unscrew the top of the pen, the top needs to be turned a few times. As soon as the cap is removed the other side of the pen cannot accommodate the cap, so I have to either hold the cap while writing or put it Having a large pen/marker that's so large makes it difficult for me to find a comfortable spot for gripping it. I found it difficult to control my pen so that I could write legibly when I was writing. My favorite Sharpie is the regular one because it is easier to hold and easier to control in order to write legibly. As well as that, the cost is significantly lower. It is not something I wish to carry around with me, so I apologize.

There is a big reason you carry this pen, but it's not because it's big
5/5

There are few people who would carry a pen this size, but it's not convenient to carry. This document write, if you need it for such a purpose. However, it definitely is not intended for such a purpose. The kubotan was made as an undercover operation. A sturdy, strong weapon that is strong enough for its intended use, and unobtrusive when used as a defense weapon (other than the size).

This is a good self-defense tool that you can conceal
5/5

The weapon has a very comfortable grip and is very convenient for use. Sharpies are fat and look like markers, so people won't even think of them as markers at all. This disguise is detracted by the aggressive and admittedly cool shark face but to be fair, that is easily removed using a spray paint. In addition to being a fine writing instrument, the marker pen within is also quite impressive. While it doesn't bleed through most paper the way a Sharpie would, it struggles when writing on plastic surfaces like cups. This is a good everyday carry weapon when you desire concealability and a less lethal weapon.

In Crocodile Dundee, the pen is held by Crocodile Dundee
5/5

There's no such thing as a pen there, it's THIS pen that exists. Cold Steel makes some of the world's biggest knives, and this pen has to be among its most impressive products. In the event that you don't know how large the package is, opening it is comical. Five minutes is not really necessary to unscrew the screw in this case and I just feel like this, so I got out the pen. While it could be a little cumbersome to carry in a pocket, it is possible. I think that it's worthwhile to spend a few bucks just to show it to everyone at work.

An alternative to kubotan that is unique
4/5

As I received this as a stocking filler, all I could do was laugh, partially because I was amazed and partly because I was delighted. Here is a pen that can be used as a weapon! What is the purpose of this self-defense implement? Can it also write? Self-fulfillment as a tool for self-actualization In defense of The stealthy approach to self-defense may be what you are looking for There's no such thing as a defense pen. It is obscenely large, to put it simply. I am just over six years old. A length of more than 5" is acceptable. It is bigger than most other pens, measuring 75" in diameter. Therefore, it will stand out even in a backpack, or even in the middle of a pile of pens. This resulted in a star being taken off. br>Size is an asset, since the facility has an internal plan and everything is organized There is no doubt it's up to the task as far as defense goes! If used in a punch, it will provide excellent fist support since it is fat enough to fit comfortably in the hand. In addition, one end of the device is slightly tapered to concentrate the force applied when you blow or apply It was mildly jabbed at several family members who "") that it was somewhat Feel free to contact me at any time- There would be no doubt that force would be There appears to be no issue with the construction of the building. There is no reason why I should be worried about it getting damaged. As a matter of fact, it does contain a permanent marker with a fine tip, which can write on a diverse range due to its size and construction, the Pocket Shark is not very convenient for use (and therefore a poor choice). You're not considering buying it for that reason, are you? My overall opinion is that it's good, and I keep it in my backpack for those occasions when I'm going out. There are more discreet tactical pens on the market, but this one does not fit the bill. It's more like what you'd see on a Kubotan. The gadget is a bit of a novelty, and I wouldn't trust my life to it, but in an emergency it should be able to provide that extra boost. As well as writing, it also reads.

The tool proves to be surprisingly effective! If you want to provide casual self-service, then this is a good device to have In defense of the country
5/5

It is not only a pen that functions as expected, but it is also a tool that you can use to act on your own The situation is one of defense. In the end, it seems that all Cold Steel products are well engineered and made of high Despite my high standards, I believe I have never purchased anything that disappointed me. Likewise, the Pocket Shark behaves the same way. There is no doubt that this case is made of tough material to withstand There is much in common between the Kubaton and the machine. A fat pen is not a weapon of efficiency, but merely a tool of expediency. Clips on the inside of a shirt or pocket and is thin enough to be clipped on. There's nothing to stop you from using it, but it's out of your There are many supported attacks that can be made with it, just like with a Kubaton. This version performs well in this environment. While I am not sure if it could smash through a car window, it will leave a substantial dent on No, these are not your targets, but they do illustrate how effective this device would be if it were used on a criminal Attackers should be on guard. It is also apparent that the Pocket Shark would be a perfect tool to support joint manipulations and joint locks. It's great to work with you My instructor and I have experimented with this, and there are some advantages to this over the classic wooden and metal I think Cold Steel should also market a training DVD to explain how to use this as both a striker and to set the lock on a joint. For anyone with basic training in self-defense, this would be a great tool. If you needed a weapon of rapid retaliation for defense, it would be very simple to add this to your arsenal.

The concept is an old one, but the packaging is clever
4/5

I've had access to all privacy and security areas of my company without a care in the world. does not set off metal detectors, looks like a giant marker, and is not highly visible to the public. Despite being a hard product, the business ends are sharp enough to cause This device scores one star less due to its smooth, featureless body, making it easy to slip your grip when handling rough objects. I think you can modify this pen so that the shaft has some knurling on it to give it more grip if you are creative enough.
