Overall, for this price it's an okay product. Assembling the telescopic baton is difficult but manageable, the grip is fine, and I hope I won't need to use it, but if I do, I know it will do the job.
Blackfire 21" Rubber Hardened Expandable Baton Black
An expandable baton crafted from hardened steel with a total length of 21 inches (53 cm), engineered for high resistance to mechanical damage. The solid three-segment construction delivers reliable performance as a self-defense tool.
Secure grip, textured handle
With one swift, forceful motion of the hand, the baton deploys instantly. The handle is fitted with a textured rubber surface to ensure a secure and reliable grip.
Once collapsed, the baton remains unobtrusive for everyday carry. Conveniently place it in a pocket or a holster (holster not included).
Self-defense
Expandable batons serve as reliable and permit-free self-defense instruments. Designed for delivering strikes or applying leverage against an assailant, this tool is also valuable for breaking through obstacles and shattering glass in emergencies.
Maximizing the effectiveness of an expandable baton requires dedicated practice in rapidly drawing, opening, and swinging the baton. Regular training sessions will significantly enhance your ability to defend yourself during a confrontation.

A lot of problems with assembly. You have to hit something really hard to get it to assemble, which already made it damaged (no paint left). Also, just from carrying it in my pocket, the tip unscrewed, so in case of danger you would have to ask the attacker to wait a moment while you find it and screw it back on.

Great telescopic baton at a good price. It is solidly built, practical in the car, and has a good grip. I haven't used it for self-defense yet, and I hope I won't need to. It's a nice, well-made baton with a compact size. Fits in your pocket. I recommend it, it's a quality product.

A strong telescopic baton that is long enough at 66 cm, allowing you to keep an attacker at a distance. It is long and heavy, making it very easy to defend yourself in a life-threatening situation. The baton is solid and fits comfortably in the hand. Considering the likely rare use, the product is in no way inferior to much more expensive ones and boosts morale. I recommend it to others as well.

Solidly made, handy for the car, good grip although it has a slightly unpleasant smell. I haven't used it for self-defense yet and hope I won't need to. I recommend it.

I have had the baton for some time. The grip has a nice texture. It definitely won’t slip out of your hand. The unpleasant rubber smell disappeared after a while. Battle-tested – it did the job. One small flaw – out of a dozen extensions, I had a bit of trouble folding it back twice. I definitely recommend it for normal use, but for frequent training, it's better to choose something even more robust. Regards.

The baton is solid, made from hard steel, which can work well as a self-defense tool in critical situations. However, there are downsides: the baton is problematic to fold up (the second part often gets stuck and won't fold back no matter what; I suggest treating it with some spray grease). Also, after only a few openings, visible and significant scratches appear, but appearance isn't the priority. As a tool to be used as a last resort, it will work just fine. For training and daily use, I suggest investing in something better.

At first glance, the baton seemed sturdy, but it turned out to be the opposite. The baton has a lot of play, and when you hit a training bag hard, one of the segments collapses. Additionally, the baton smells bad.

Cool baton. Opening and closing without any problems. The texture of the grip gives confidence that it won’t slip out of your hand when opening or using it. Unfortunately, there are also some drawbacks—the baton has a very strong, unpleasant rubber smell. Luckily, it passes after a while.
-
The downside is the rubber smell from the handle. It's a budget baton, more for preventive or deterrent actions, which doesn't mean it doesn't work. It works, but compared to ESP it's average, although the price differs. For occasional use and scaring off, it is definitely good.

A solid piece of metal. Not too big, not too small. Fits perfectly in the hand. Folding and unfolding are not a problem. The weight is also appropriate, making you feel the equipment is strong.
-
Massive baton, good self-defense equipment. The baton is long, has a strong grip, and is quite heavy. Without proper training, it can be useless in an emergency, so it's worth learning how and when to use it. Worth recommending, quality product.

Great baton. Four years ago, I didn't even think about buying a telescopic baton. Now I have owned one for three years and I can say it works great in use. The baton is very durable and does not bend. I tested it by breaking cinder blocks, bricks, and hitting river stones, and the only thing that happened to it was a few scratches to the paint. So if anyone is wondering about buying a telescopic baton, I recommend this one in the 21-inch size.

Opinion after 2 weeks It's okay for the price; it's hard and stiff, but when I opened it, it was a bit bent. Still hard to close, I have to hit it but I don't want to because it might break.
