Product Description
A last-ditch emergency tool, the Urban Protector is a 2-inch titanium spike concealed by a carbon fiber exterior. From the outside, it looks like a long tube of chapstick, or maybe a pen, but pull the two magnetically connected ends apart and inside is a super-sharp point Read More

Protip: don't bring a 2" spike to a gun fight.
Bonus protip: carry a gun, so every fight can become a gun fight.

Hey, former Californian and self defense instructor here, this is, in the least legal sense, a dirk. At most, a concealed weapon. If you're unsure about legalities, google for your location and "blade kubaton" Because this is basically that. Laws very WILDLY by state and even municipality for tools like this. Please please PLEASE be careful about this. Having this on your keys is a felony by California law.
It conceals its purpose, which bothers many laws nationwide, it can be (and usually is) carried on keys, which makes for interesting conversation at court house entrances and at TSA security, and it was specifically designed as a weapon, which bothers many lawyers. And, yes, people do forget about weapons they carry, because if they carry them well, they carry them all the time.
Functionally? This thing is a joke. It's smooth, so the grip is bad, it's titanium which is reactive (though this is probably coated with something... I hope...), it's short which reduces the ability to reach to internal organs, and it's a straight puncture surface, which leaves poor wounds. Flesh tends to part for puncture wounds, then close back up at removal. Likewise, blood vessels are more likely to push out of the way rather than be sliced by a blade.
This thing is actually less effective than a bic ballpoint pen as a weapon with the added liability of carrying a weapon designed to be concealed.
If you are still interested in something like this, consider the GG&G Penetrator. It is designed to remove tissue and leave a large open wound without cutting.

I guess that's more of a reflection of my machinist history. Practically, titanium oxidizes quite stably almost immediately. There's no practical reactivity unless you scrape or scratch off the surface oxidation.
So practically, the reactivity of titanium has almost no impact here unless there was damage to the titanium spike.

FletchINKyI'm a machinist myself, which is why I ask. The only parties worried about titanium oxide would be welders in high strength or medical applications (or possibly a rare allergy to white paint/dye). Far as I remember the oxide layer is also harder.

Massdrop doesn't sell cannabis stuff anymore but they sell this garbage. I think my new years resolution will be to unsubscribe from massdrop.

Massdrop is now promoting weapons specifically made to maim or kill? Seems that Massdrop is heading down a dark road and leaving itself open to lawsuits!

that item isnt specific at all. it could be used for a lot of things, more than a gun or a knife...its just not advertised that way,. nothing SPECIFIC about a 2 inch steel or titanium nail. /spike except maybe paying 40 bucks for one,

advertised to maim? where in " A last-ditch emergency weapon" does it say maim or kill? let me guess you think an AR 15 is an " ASSAULT" weapon? MAIM? well perhaps put out an eye...maybe......let me know when the news does a story on someone MAIMED with a two inch nail that was actually designed to do it,

RoughtrickbillNo, I'm good--that was just a pic from Kizer's Product Testing Dept. (the company that makes the Pocket Spike). Looks like they've done their homework and come up with a real winner!

Andrew_NYAh, you’re from New York based on the username?
Chiming in from Oregon, it’s virtually impossible to get in trouble carrying a knife or defense tool in Portland....or heck, in most cities in the US. As long as you arent waving it around, you should never have a reason to draw attention to something like this.
It it may be just as useless as everyone y other “tactical” knife or tool, but it’s not nearly the worst thing on this site.

JenWrathsure, in practice, yes. but, nonetheless, if this is legally *no better* than a knife, which it isn't, then just carry a real knife.
and in many jurisdictions, weird concealed weapons like this one are treated worse than a straight-forward carry. hell, even open-carry jurisdictions often have laws against improvised weapons which, frankly, could easily apply to this.
tl;dr: just buy a real knife unless you *want* to get into a "well, technically..." argument with the law.

Why the hell does this keep getting dropped? It's been said a dozen times over it's illegal to carry a bunch of places, far more than a simple pocket knife.
