It's hard to say anything, because either I got a faulty unit, or this is the case with all models. The baton is long, the material is solid. However, after swinging it sideways a few times, the middle segment folds very quickly. A similar phenomenon occurs in the 21" version, just after a longer time. I was going to return it, but unfortunately now you have to pay extra for a return or exchange, so I kept it and bought the ESP hardened 26" instead. Well, I lost a few dozen zlotys. It's better to spend a bit more for a better baton. It's worth it for safety reasons.

I've already checked out several batons from different companies, even much more expensive ones, but this is the first one that opens well and closes just as well. It has a soft grip that's comfortable in the hand. It's also long and quite heavy, which can be an advantage in case it has to be used. When I tapped it on a bone, you can hear the steel ring, which might suggest it's actually been hardened. The price is good. Just buy it.

P... Review confirmed by purchase
The baton opening mechanism works flawlessly, closing too, although it can be a bit troublesome, but that's actually good - you're sure it won't close on its own at a key moment. When tapping the tip on a hard surface (to close it), the steel segments "buzz" and resonate, which is characteristic of spring-hardened steel - so there is some hardening, but quite poor. During durability tests on an old car tire, some deformations appeared on the last segment after a few strikes. I hit hard, I'm not particularly weak, but I don't have Tyson Fury's punch either, and a tire is just a tire, not a stone block. So that's not great... It's certainly better than non-hardened junk (I don't know why reputable companies ruin their reputation by releasing non-hardened junk, and I don't know who buys it and for what), but it's also a class or two inferior to certified batons, e.g., ESP. From me 3.5 out of 5 stars.
-
A strong and good baton, comfortable to hold thanks to the foam
-
The baton is quite solid and long, makes an impression when unfolded
-
Super. The right size Very strong
-
Solid and durable
-
Great length - extends the punishing hand of justice, good foam grip, solid workmanship, this sheath is worth replacing with a swivel belt holster...
-
Strong, hard, made of good quality metal. I haven't used it yet, and I hope I won't have to, but just opening it in a forward swing commands respect regardless. The holster is also well made, but I don't use it myself. Recommended.
-
Solid and handy, fits well in the hand
-
Solid baton, meets my expectations. Militaria has top-quality gear :)
-
Well made, but unfortunately in my case doesn't fit solidly in the holster, lacks rubber on the handle. Overall, gear worth recommending.
-
does the job
-
The equipment is solidly made, the holster is also fine. Overall, it 'commands respect'. I wouldn't want to have to use it in a dangerous situation, let alone get hit by it.

I bought it for my girlfriend. So nice to the touch that I bought one for myself too. My brother-in-law took it. I bought a third one ;) It grips great ;)
