I read some interesting posts on flexible weapons on another forum and it got me interested. Someone mentioned carrying a chain or piece of paracord with your keychain on one end and a heavy metal clip on the other for use as a sort of flail/mace. I think this would work well, so I started by braiding some paracord. My keychain fits on the end alright although i'm not yet sure how to finish the ends. At the moment they are tied in big knots but these would get in the way of my belt and be uncomfytable. I havn't yet got hold o a metal clip, i'll probably use a carabina. I also carry a couple of knives. I am looking to updating my self defence weaponary but i'm not yet sure how.
