I went into a courthouse, they have security where you have to go through metal detectors and takeout your change and keys and take off your belts and put them in a bowl and go through the metal detector, my Bone-Breaker keychain tool was on my keychain and they let it slide right through. Thank you Jeffrey Tambone!
@@lalli8152 so what are you trying to say? You just let a perpetrator assault you? Or you protect yourself with any means neccessary and take the time in the bin, like a man?
@@lalli8152 It time for A REVOLUTION! It’s A WORLD-WIDE PROBLEM!! The LEFT has STOLEN OUR LIBERTY- and most people LET THEM, because MOST PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT, and many ARE MORONS to boot!
@@lalli8152 in the uk carrying anything for the purpose of self defense is against the law, now get this, using things for self defense in certain situations is not against the law.
@@lalli8152 yup, its all about them prooving they used excessive force, if they attacked him and someone got stabbed thats different but if there was opportunity to escape or you have otherwise incapacitated someone stabbing them is unreasonable, I do not know the specifics of this case, but you can't shoot or stab someone just because they break in and punch you in the face, its not that clear cut. Some would say this is wrong, and I understand that, but the law is the law. And sometimes judgements are reached which are hard to understand, and in some cases are unjust.
Countries like the Czech Republic are rather lenient with such tools, but keep in mind that in places like the UK ANY tool used in a self-defense situation, even something improvised as an ashtray in a bar, can get you in serious trouble and charged with aggravated assault. In Germany, it probably will depend on the judge and, if invited to a court case, the weapons expert from the BKA (federal police). Those tools presented in the video could be seen as disguised brass knuckles (in particular as they are advertised as tools that can be used for self-defense on the web page) which are highly illegal in Germany. The good thing though is, that self-defense action and illegal weapon possession will be judged and determined separately (illegal weapon usage won't necessarily negatively affect your self-defense case, so if your self-defense was lawful, you will only get charged with illegal weapon possession but not with aggravated assault). So, wherever you go, check the local laws before committing to a specific tool. My tool of choice at the moment for non-permissive areas is a 2300 lumens flashlight that also can serve as a force multiplier. It's completely legal without any question, can (non permanently = little legal repercussions) blind/confuse a potential attacker from distance which gives an additional advantage in a possible fight (or time to get away), and it's an actual useful tool to find your stuff fallen on the ground at night.
Bearing in mind that in Germany the BKA classified a bottle cap opener that can be used as a brass knuckle for a single finger as illegal weapon basing this decision at least in parts on the marketing of the manufacturer this video definitely helps making this key fob an illegal weapon in Germany. And therefore the claim of this video is simply wrong.
@@bjornlange7483 Exactly. And if they are deemed as a disguised "brass knuckle", legal trouble can even be worse. Not only is a brass knuckle by itself illegal, but using a different shape to disguise it as a harmless object (see i.e. swords hidden in a walking cane, or knives hidden in a comb) can aggravate the charges, and the prosecutor could claim malicious intent.
Definitely worth becoming aware of things that you can use as weapons in an encounter. In bars there are chairs, outside there are bricks and sticks. Despite all this, I'm a grappler (and throwing someone well onto a hard floor can do more damage than a knuckle duster) so generally I don't like to utilise weapons unless they have a weapon, at which point I'd rather have something that can keep the distance, such as a chair
A one inch diameter hickory walking cane is my EDC. Can be carried virtually anywhere without question. It is quite effective at keeping threats beyond their ability to strike or stab.
Try looking into getting one out of a stronger, harder and tougher wood like some thing in an iron wood category. I make some wood weapons myself, and it would blow your mind how much more effective a better quality wood can be
I have a hexagonal ash cane with the end of the crook it into a decorative angle. As a chunky grey beard with knee scars, not one person has ever questioned its presence
Iron Wood, Cocobolo (South American) are good wood to make canes from aswell. A solid aluminum or steel retractable ball point pen makes a good striking tool and is not considered a weapon and can be carried anywhere. Cheers!
@@D33Lux iron wood is a class of wood not a type. My canes are much harder than cocobolo and much more effective. You will be quite enlightened upon checking them out.
Not necessarily, if it is marketed as a self-defense item you could be charged in Canada. You're not allowed to carry anything with the intent or design of using it as a weapon against people. If it was marketed as protection against wild dogs or something, and you were in an area with wild dogs, you could probably carry it. For example, mace is illegal but bear spray is commonly available. Carrying bear spray in urban areas can get you in trouble, though, because there are no bears.
Hardware stores are a fun outing in foreign countries. They have mill files, rasps, scratch awls, metal punches, flashlights and all sorts of handy items.
@@thatguy2408 If you were carrying a large Magnum flashlight in the daytime without good reason and got searched, it could be hard to prove why you were carrying it. An umbrella or walking cane (if you are older or have an injury) would likely be OK.
@@alexmousley7213 that is kinda lame. A lot of uses for a flashlight other than it being nighttime. could find myself inside a building during a power outage or earthquake. I might have to look for something I dropped under a counter or some such. I just might sometimes need extra extra illumination for any random task. Side note, i would take me and my small pocket sized flashlight against you and your umbrella any day of the week. Can’t hit what you can’t see. Nor can you block an attack you can’t see. If you don’t have a gun/can’t carry one. A good small tactical flashlight is the next best alternative. But using your logic. Having an umbrella would be hard to explain if it wasn’t raining. Or a cane if you weren’t limping.
@@alexmousley7213 sorry Alex. You meant a large magnum flashlight. I was referring to a small pocket tactical flashlight. I have several and I am always carrying one (usually the one with scalloped edges). Even able to bring the smaller ones (without the scalloped edges) on planes which is about as restrictive of an environment as you can get. Sorry for the rudeness. The flashlight isn’t necessarily for striking but for blinding the attacker. My fists, head, elbows, knees and feet are generally enough. But if I have one of my scalloped edge flashlights and you don’t have a gun or aren’t it highly trained. You will be missing chunks of skin from your hands or forehead or suffering a broken clavicle. 5 years ago some druggie tried to rob me while I was walking to a bar in San Francisco. He had a knife. Took out my tactical, blasts him in the eyes, stuck down hard on his hand, he bailed, I got a new knife and dirty paper towel from wiping his blood off my flashlight. Again, if you don’t carry a gun, carry a flashlight. Useful tool.
Just as piece of advice for people visiting Germany...we do have knife laws, but a small fixed blade (below 4.72 inches in blade length) or locking folding knives, that need two hands to open as well as non locking folding knives are safe to carry most places. These key chains on the other hand probably won't be, because they would be categorized as "brass knuckles" regardless of material, which are illegal to own or use in Germany. Some people already had problems with "EDC bottle openers", which could be used as brass knuckles.
I wish the keychain was stamped "Bicycle Chain Wrench". I have the original with the closed loop. I like it better than the open loop because I can put a few large key rings on the loop and it breaks up the profile nicely!
i dont travel much, but i always carry many sharp and blunt things in my pockets, not entirelly intentional, im just an EDC guy with a job that uses many tools that can double as weapons.
You used to sell the ceramic knives back in the day that were undetectable in metal detectors and you explained how most manufacturers put metal powder in the handle so that it can’t get through metal detectors.
Pay attention to these replies. Look at the grammar. This guy is not the real @BoneTactical... Tried scamming me the other day. We gotta get this person off here before someone falls for it and ruins the integrity of Greg's channel.
Definitely targeting American mindsets and price ranges, and unreasonable for most people in the world. Despite all this, I like the idea of a non lethal impact tool. A tactical pen can be seen as premeditated carry of a dangerous tool, a flashlight not so much, but these are also great since they’re so popular as edc tools under the name “prybar” Edit:autocorrect
Although you were wrong about every assumption you made in your comment, I can see that your mind is made up and you are not open to improvement via change in perspective… so I will simply thank you for your feedback and support.
@@BoneTactical despite the exaggeration in “every is wrong”, I do see your point and I had fixed my mind about flashlights, and was definetly scared about the price tag of your tool. Minimum wage here is 750€ and to have 50 to spare for a single item is not that common. That said, I love the design and thought behind it. Generally don’t need anything but if I do I’ll really wish I had listened
A pen that isn't specifically desgined to be "tactical" is a better choice, anything "tactical" could come under the law as "designed to be a weapon" in UK law.
Caribiners not so much, certain flashlights make for a good kubotan… just realize you’ll still do a fair amount of damage to your hands if you have to use it.
Nice video...I think the best travel protection right now that can be taken anywhere in the world and on any vehicle in the world legally is...a cane...it's considered a medical device and even if you don't need to use a cane you can still carry one. With a hook is best. With a little training it's amazing...just make sure you get the right cane and lot a cheap one that can break etc.
Probably illegal in Oregon under ORS.166. 240 . “metal knuckles, or any similar instrument by the use of which injury could be inflicted upon the person or property of any other person, commits a Class B misdemeanor."
The design of Manufactured devices like these dusters can be passed around by security organisations so they can be identified and prosecuted in courts. Our police recommend a very large good quality handkerchief these can truly go anywhere in the world and be true force magnifiers and nobody will believe it possible even when they see the results
I am not out of it yet, so recommendations are appreciated. I am a target ! I am 82yo and have arthritis in both hands ! Can barely make a fist but can still grip the right size, like a roll of quarters !

High quality usable items, not just tactical eye candy. I got the limited edition serialized Bone Opener multi-tool keychain. Extremely happy with my purchase. Highly recommended.
U definitely should include a seatbelt cutter in the crak at the back!! Would go through nit-picky customs even more seemlessly, justify the shape and add a feature Would require a redesign to keep it cheap (maybe an iclusion with the blade secure by plate with 2 screws, less cheap I know)
Thank you so much for the excellent content. Would you please tell more about tactical flashlights, tactical ballpoints, Kubatans and belts for self-defenses.
A small torch...can blind an attacker at night and its a small heavy bludgeon tool or tacticsl pen, you need to check laws in UK knife restrictions are very strict like many other countries, I live in Ireland visited NYC and found a lot of places we visited had security checking for weapons, bear this in mind if you want to see
@Bone Tactical the first thing is self awareness when travelling, enjoy yourself but still keep awareness of surroundings and trust your gut instinct. Hardware shops or fishing/outdoor shops sell legal carry knifes, in Ireland Opinals, Swiss army or local inexpensive but cool folders is widely available. Lastly it seems simple I take with me a door stop, plastic wedge that I insert under the door, it will slow down anyone attempting to get in letting you prepare a little as most self accommodation places or rooms have something that can be improvised...
@@bryandow2827 and opinel knife can be bought in many countries yes, they are so readily available and unrestricted because they are not just nearly useless in self-defense… They are actually a detriment to self-defense! They take so long to get open and be ready to use that one would not have time to open one in a self-defense situation, and their locking mechanisms are so weak that they are a danger to the user if used as a weapon. I understand that many things may seem correct to an individual who lacks experience, but these mistakes should you actually have to defend yourself could cost you your life or the lives of your loved ones there’s a wealth of information here on the channel. I hope you take the time to take your preparedness and understanding to the next level… First through study here and then for practice on your own good luck!
Thank you for your service to the rest of us. Not everybody can be a survivor. We all need sheep, heading to the slaughter as easy targets. It gives the rest of us that little bit of advantage of time, and we are all thankful for you my friend.
Just remember you have one chance with that against an unsuspecting person. If I see you coming with it I just wait for you to swing, block it or dodge it, and make you regret carrying your glass toy while you’re recovering to try another swing you won’t get the chance to take.
Bro, im from Poland and ive been in Czech mamy times, our countries are one of the safest in the world. but when u visit germany ,france, UK then u need something for defense, for sure.
Is there a way to modify a belt to make it a self defense tool, I know that rings can cut up a person's face in a fight, examples like that and the garrote bracelet you were wearing
Great Video Great Idea. My question would be. What reassurance can you share that T.S.A or even Cruise Ship terminals would be allowed into the Sterile Area to be taken overseas. Would like to train with you guys one day. Im in Florida. 🙏🙏🙏🤜🤜🤜💪💪💪
I I have smaller hands compared to you I’m wonder if the bone opener would be ok for me or should I get the mini or micro or something, thnx for the vdos!
These are mostly one size fits all. Even Burger King hands! The only people that I have heard complain about the hand fitment is people with really fat fingers and that’s been one or two out of tens of thousands that like them
Thank you, my friend, most of my EDC videos. If not all of them filmed in the US can be considered advanced felon EDC. There’s a bunch of them here on the channel on the EDC playlist.
I reviewed the original Bone Opener a year or so ago on my channel and IG page; I love it. It’s super effective IF you train and know how to throw a punch. I have also brought it with me everywhere, including several concerts, without a second glance. And as a keychain, it’s great because it keeps your keys secure and hung on your pocket regardless of activity; I suppose it would fail if you did a headstand or something but normal to vigorous activity will leave them fine.
Thank you for useful information! Honest and straightforward approach. In our troubled times we really appreciate any wise knowledge. Thanks again and all the best to You.
Nice items. I would probably have made one of them in a slightly different design. An item that would be more saleable for women and men. Yet still have the same function and almost the same form.
They are all different designs, and they make many different designs all available on my website. All of which are unisex. I’m not sure which part confused you, but the website should clear up any misunderstandings with the high-quality photos, videos, and descriptions www.BoneTactical.com
Nice Job, good delivery, interested in open space pedestrian threat assessment, first strike decision making, and grey man tactical escape and evasion for 60 year old.
Not even close… you’re showing your ignorance young man. A word of advice: although everyone around, you may believe you to be a fool, you don’t prove them right until you open your mouth.
Unfortunately, the keyring is illegal in Germany. The police categorise it as brass knuckles. The shape alone is enough for it to be considered illegal. You shouldn't have something like this in your pocket at the airport.
The bone breaker and bone opener are 100% legal in Germany. I have taken them there myself many times and I have handed them to cops and asked them if they were legal and they all have every time told me that. Yes of course there’s no problem. The only problem is that sometimes you have Haters on RU-vid who may also be ignorant fools that have no idea what they’re talking about
that's where you messed up! "something like these" doesn't exist, these are the world's most effective self-defense tools!Some of these versions being legal to carry anywhere which is part of what makes them what they are! @@SshanIcsS
I'm pretty sure it will be not allowed in several countries. There are so many different countries with different rules and some are very strickt most of all in what you take into the plane in your carry on or on your person. I carry a somewhat thicker aluminium pen with a glass breaker tip in my pocket and in the US they wanted to take it away saying it was a kubotan. I played stupid saying I don't even know what a kubotan is and I just wanted a metal pen because I had plastic ones break inside my pocket staining my cloths. They let it slide. I cut up an old SAK credit card tool and only left the toothpick, tweezers and the small nail file with screwdriver tip and still they wanted to see everything when boarding in Thailand. Brass knuckels are highly illegal in my country The Netherlands and so are any concealed or improvised weapons. I wonder what you would give as a reason to have that on you?
@@BoneTactical I was a police officer in Amsterdam. I still know the law. Brass knuckels are not allowed to own or anything resembling it. That's why they don't and won't sell your key holder at the Old Man. It's illegal to sell also. They would be shut down.
@@StevanOutdoor I made the video that I’m telling you about from inside the old man sitting there with the owner talking about why many of self-defense tools are not breast knuckles since they have a bottle opener and multitool function and are completely legal 🤣🤦🏻♂️they don’t sell my stuff there because it is so hard to get, limited edition, and I have more demand than Supply
@@BoneTactical I did recognize the Old Man since I've been there many times. Giving brass knuckles some extra functions doesn't make them legal since a function is still that they can be used as brass knuckles and they are prohibited from even owning in any way, shape or form. One could argue if the ones that cover only one finger fall under the definition but there's also a general rule that you are not allowed to own or carry weapons unless you have a license. It's in parts a grey area. For instance any automatic knife, one that works with gravity and butterfly knives are always prohibited where a 'normal' pocket knife is not considered a weapon. So they look at the main function and the reason of carrying. In The Netherlands you are not allowed to have a plastic lookalike gun even though it's not even a real weapon but can be used to scare people thinking it's a real one. If you would put an automatic blade on a Leatherman it would still be illegal even though the blade is not the main function and it's obviously a multitool. Not every cop or doorman of a club will recognize it as such but some cops will and confiscate it and give a fine. You can of course go to court and try to get it back.
@@peaceformula5830 where have you had this happen to you? I remember a safety minded yank in an airport afraid to visit the local town during a eight hour layover because of local criminality. The place was not in some poor country but was in Kloten, Zurich's airport.
@@BoneTactical I have been in over 20 countries and did backpack tours thru Andalusia, Portugal, marocco, tunesia, Egypt, several West and east European countries and experienced some heated and dangerous situations. yes, most of the time I had a knife in my pocket but I never had to use it. In my opinion the most important self defence tool is verbal judo and the ability to read people and body language ... So you need to know some basic, simple phrases, be friendly, deescalating but also straight forward and assertive if you have to and it's helpful to know the different forms of local tourist scams, also don't get drunk and do not look like a goofy tourist with a visible filled wallet. Thief's look for victims not for opponents.
They are all very strong and will last for generations. The differences weight. The aluminum versions are high-speed low drag. The stainless steel versions are a bit heavier, and the brass or bronze versions are very heavy.
You would think that, in the UK, since they’re so ban happy for literally any kind of knife being carried on the street for ANY reason (because of knife violence apparently being a legitimate problem,) that they’d empower their citizenry to *ABSOLUTELY CARRY* tools like the impact tools to protect themselves at least a little bit better from a knife attack. But no. Instead, they punish their citizens for not allowing themselves to become victims of knife violence. Picking up a chair or pipe to knock the daylights outta someone who’s literally trying to skewer you and leave you bleeding out in an alley gets you gets you hit with illegal weapons charges? Possibly aggravated assault and/or manslaughter too??? Both in the UK and Germany??? Those laws seem to absolutely and totally hamstring innocent citizens who dare to not let themselves become victims of violence.
I enjoy your videos and merchandise, great thought process. I have suggested your channel to prohibited people who think they have no options. Thank you
Those openings in the “key chains” look like pinch points. If you were to punch something with one of those on, wouldn’t the meat from your finger get smashed badly?
Looks like you did a really good job on all your I really like the bracelet I think you should use purple heart Wood next experiment with it really cool very beautiful
Great suggestion! Thank you. I do prefer mahogany myself, but I make some stuff out of purple heart as well and it’s a very similar wood actually. Just a bit darker in color and almost identical to certain parts of the honduran Rosewood tree which I also use.
7:23 Don't even try to come to Spain with those, I guarantee you they would be automatically confiscated at the airport even inside the checked luggage because the x rays and you'd get a high fine. A plastic version to be undetected? Maybe, but illegal to carry anyway. I would bet for a large blocking blade and one hand opening Swiss knife to walk with it, as a tourist it could be exceptionally allowed only to you by the cops.
I have a video of how to do it well a lot of videos on how to do it an entire grey man theory playlist but I literally have a video of me walking through TSA security and handing them to them with no problems they let me through I use the spy, camera film everything
I’d say train your hands would be the best. Just because there might be no space/room to use kickboxing or wrestling. Wrestling sometimes leads to stabbings and worse getting jumped. I think if you train for deadly accuracy, and learn to knock out a mule basically is all you’ll need. I mean getting very good, very tactical with it. Like only a guy already reaching at us will fall asleep instantly when you learn it. 😎👈🏻💯
Serialized?. Why not just put your name and address on it? That way if it's ever dropped at some location where you defended yourself the authorities could find you even easier to return it quickly. Whose bright idea was it to identify a possible self defence tool you might wish to lose?
Hello sir I will try and explain the concept to you, despite the early warning signs that you may not be capable of understanding… they are numbered with a production number and a lot number. One of 500 for example. This is because they are highly sought after as collectors pieces as well and the collectors, enjoy knowing what number they have in the limited edition series. Furthermore, there’s no way that the authorities could use the number to find the owner. Now I will leave you with a little bit of advice: everyone around you may assume that you’re a fool, but you don’t prove them right until you open your mouth. Listen first, then talk.
@@BoneTactical You were the one who stated they were serialized. The usual meaning of that would be they were identifiable, and that records may have been kept. You didn't state records were kept, nor did you state they were not. If the tone of my message suggested a possible problem with the product it was a cautionary note, not a direct attack against you. Sometimes late at night word choices may not be the best, but I will take it that you meant no harm, but just overlooked how your meaning may be missed due to your phrasing. I hope you are capable of understanding, even if it appears you may not be. That is the tone you set in your reply to me. Anyone who tries to empower the public has my support; even if they occasionally act out.
Thank you for this very informative self defense tools that goes around the world without issues. Im planning to travel the entire world first time ever leaving the house and one thing im afraid of is the wild animals in africa. So having a self defense tool that is OK by any goverment is very helpful.
Yes for sure, although surviving megafauna requires knowledge training great situational awareness and experience. Probably watch some of the travel videos here on my channel (the travel playlist has videos from all over the world) and don’t subject yourself to unnecessary risks.
I can't count the number of people that have asked me if i wanna sell my stainless bone breaker scorpion. I always say "hell no" and give them your website. Lol
I know! I've considered cleaning it up and put it away with my high end collectibles but there's no sense in that! I love it so much cause it's so thin compared to my aluminum one. I used the shit out of the bottle opener portion on a bunch of Guinness beers last night... lol
Why risk being caught carrying potentially illegal items? There are many legal items that can be carried even into the plane, and yet they are deadly. 1st item, I always carry an aluminum angle drawing protractor half circle hollow center. the 2 edges are very sharp. the circle part is the handle. 2nd item, a 6 or 12 inches metal ruler. the right angle edges at the end are very sharp. 3rd item, a metal ball point pen such as the brass bolt action pen. 4th item, a pair of Japanese-style chopsticks made of hardwood or metal. Couple of very sharp #2 pencils can be deadly as well. All these items are legal to carry anywhere and yet, very effective.
@@BoneTactical those items have been in my carry-on bag next to my computer for the past 15 years whenever I travel. Never have a problem, not even once. They are all legal office stationery. I also have a hard-cased waterproof flashlight. I even use the chopsticks when they serve meals. Thanks for the good wishes though, everyone can use some good "lock" ! 😂😂
@@psyamok3735 yes, of course they are legal and yes, of course you can carry them on the plane. they are also useless. You have been carrying them for a very long time for no reason and the day you try and defend yourself with them will be the day that you learn all that was for nothing. You’re commenting on a video, discussing the worlds most effective legal self defense tools, and comparing them to chopsticks 🤣 just foolish…. You’d be better off not bringing anything with you and knowing a little bit of martial arts… much better than chopsticks 🤦🏻♂️
@@BoneTactical I 100% agree with you. It is really foolish.... for a lot of people like you who have absolutely no clue how to use commonly available items for self defense, we strongly suggest that you stick to your very professionally key chain for self defense. But for some of us who train others on how to use commonly available items for self defense, a dinner plate, a pair of chopsticks, can be deadly. Fos those clueless, we definitelly 100% agree with you, stick to your very proffessionally collectable keychain.
I love my keychain holder, it's great to know that whenever I need it my..... Keys are secure 😜 Might sound odd, but when it comes to everyday wear, for durability & stink, do you stick with cotton, polyester, or some of this new smartwool undergarments? I am testing smart wool socks right now from a company in Utah, so far, much less stink and far more durable than cotton, haven't transitioned to the underwear yet, still testing poly/spandex, but still dealing with smell. I live in Arizona, dry desert climate.
Thank you what you do I like the grey man tools I need any and all info I get asked all the lame question from family and I rather no answer again and again so if it looks normal they won't ask
