Looks can be deceiving. A situation that calls for self defense is, by nature, unexpected. The smartest are those who think ahead. That’s where the Williams Defense Pen II comes into play. Disguised as a sophisticated writing instrument, its defense end carries a powerful punch. This is subtlety at its finest.

Former Army officer and martial arts instructor, James Williams is a man who is fluent in employing self-defense tools that run the gamut—he’s as competent with a sword as he is with nothing more than a defense flashlight. Years ago, he designed a defense pen from his shop in Encinitas, California. The knife world loved it. Now, he’s touched it up and it’s better than ever.
