Abstract

An apparatus for an accessible extreme close quarter penetrating self defense weapon. It is comprised of a cast rigid urethane resin. It is cylindrical in shape, approximately five and three quarters (5¾) inches long, five eights (⅝) inches wide, two (2) inches in circumference, and thirty four (34) grams in weight. One end is flat with a small hole approximately three sixteenths ( 3/16) inches in diameter drilled completely through it so that a steel cable key ring can be attached. The other end tapers to a point from which the sharpened tip of a five and one eighth (5⅛) inch long and three sixteenths ( 3/16) inch diameter steel rod protrudes. The outside surface is either smooth or textured and is indented by six (6) grooves approximately three quarters (¾) inch apart. The apparatus comes in many colors created by the addition of dye and or other coloring products during the casting process of the rigid urethane resin. Coloring of the apparatus is further enhanced by the application of various colors of paint to the outside surface.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for a self defense weapon, comprising:
 a) a cylindrically shaped body having first and second ends and a center, wherein said first end is flat and said second end tapers inwardly toward said center;   b) a plurality of spaced apart grooves extending completely around an outer surface of said body to permit a user to better grip the apparatus;   c) a steel rod centrally disposed inside said body and extending longitudinally along said body, wherein one end of said steel rod protrudes as a sharpened tip from said second end of said body; and   d) a retainer disposed on said steel rod for centering and stabilizing said steel rod in said body.
