Good heavens... Somebody actually makes a gold-plated ASP? What an interesting concept. Well, I suppose it might appeal to the Gucci-Toughguy set... But frankly I think the flat-black is best. :-)
It may be that I gave out Brigade-QM as the address for those, and I’ve wondered about that, as it would be wrong. It’s not the best place. The best prices and service are at www.knifecenter.com. They have a “center” for knives, for swords, for shaving, and for “security” as well as other stuff.
In the “security center” there’s a section for batons, and they have the various options, depending on stock at the time. They’re very good about indicating what’s in stock or not at the time.
I can’t speak highly enough about the customer service at knifecenter.com. I’ve been so impressed with them on a few of my (many) orders that I’ve told them I would pass it along to my friends... And so here I do that. They will make things right if for some reason it doesn’t work out right. But usually, of course, it does work.
Remember with the ASP batons, that you want the “airweight” or “aluminum” version. They’re referred to as either in different sites. The 16in is very small (about 5in closed). Easy to carry even in a jeans back pocket. The 21in is more effective as a weapon but is about 7in closed, and needs a jacket pocket to conceal. The 26in is a magnificent weapon, but is about 10in and is tough to conceal anywhere. May as well just carry a baseball bat.
My favorite is the 21in. But I do have a soft spot for the little 16in. It conceals so nicely and would be the rudest of suprises for the unsuspecting little turd that didn’t know you had it. :-)
If there’s interest I would love to give a quick class in how use an ASP effectively. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I do know a few tips that seem to work, most of the time.
Regards,
Thanks for the tip on the knifecenter, seems there is more than one thing on my ‘way cool, we’re getting that’ list that is on that website.
