Abstract

A weapon including a grip portion, an independent extension extending from each end of the grip portion and configured to extend partially around a hand of a user; at least one portion of at least one of the extensions being shaped to create painful pressure when pressed against an adversary, and a method of making the weapon.

1 . A weapon comprising: 
 a grip portion,    an independent extension extending from each end of said grip portion and configured to extend partially around a hand of a user;    at least one portion of at least one of said extensions being shaped to create painful pressure when pressed against an adversary.    
   
   
       2 . The weapon according to  claim 1 , comprising at least one portion having a rounded point shaped to create painful pressure when pressed against an adversary.  
   
   
       3 . The weapon of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional extension extending from said grip portion substantially in an opposite direction from said independent extensions, said additional extension being shaped to create painful pressure when pressed against an adversary.  
   
   
       4 . The weapon according to  claim 1 , further comprising an elongated club portion extending from said grip portion.  
   
   
       5 . The weapon of  claim 4 , further comprising at least one upstanding ridge along the length of said elongate portion.  
   
   
       6 . The weapon according to  claim 3 , further comprising an elongated club portion extending from said grip portion.  
   
   
       7 . The weapon of  claim 6 , further comprising at least one upstanding ridge along the length of said elongate portion.  
   
   
       8 . The weapon according to  claim 1 , where said independent extensions are adapted and configured to hang the weapon on the user's hand and permit concurrent use of a user's fingers while holding the weapon  
   
   
       9 . The weapon according to  claim 4 , where said independent extensions are adapted and configured to hang the weapon on the user's hand and permit concurrent use of a user's fingers while holding the weapon.  
   
   
       10 . The weapon according to  claim 1 , further comprising a recess in said grip for receiving an accessory.  
   
   
       11 . The weapon according to  claim 10 , further comprising an externally accessible switch in the weapon for actuating an accessory in said recess.  
   
   
       12 . A method for forming a weapon, the method comprising: 
 providing a grip portion,    forming an independent extension extending from each end of said grip portion and configured to extend partially around a hand of a user; and    shaping at least one portion of at least one of said extensions to create painful pressure when pressed against an adversary.    
   
   
       13 . The method according to  claim 12 , comprising providing a rounded point shaped to create painful pressure when pressed against an adversary on at least one portion.  
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising providing at least one additional extension extending from said grip portion substantially in an opposite direction from said independent extensions, said additional extension being shaped to create painful pressure when pressed against an adversary.  
   
   
       15 . The method according to  claim 12 , where said independent extensions are adapted and configured to hang the weapon on the user's hand and permit concurrent use of a user's fingers while holding the weapon  
   
   
       16 . The method according to  claim 12 , further comprising providing an elongated club portion extending from said grip portion.  
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising providing at least one upstanding ridge along the length of said elongate portion.  
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 16 , further comprising providing a recess in said grip for receiving an accessory.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising providing an externally accessible switch in the weapon for actuating an accessory in said recess.
