Non-metallic tools

Non-metallic tools have a distinct niche when it comes to self-defense. While generally speaking almost entirely unsuitable for utility use, due to their relative fragility, they can provide a very difficult to detect means for the user to implement in order to facilitate extraction from a hostile situation.
Whether it's to serve primarily as a distraction or to inflict lethal harm, these tools can provide an advantage that isn't attainable with normal means.

In the past, Special Circumstances has made a few non-metallic tools, primarily in the form of spike-like implements. The tool you see in the pictures below is a first for SC.
Made entirely from .25 inch G10, this little sticker is heavily inspired by the work of Morgan Atwood of BFE Labs, who has for some time been making WWII-type thumbdaggers.
This particular non-metallic implement or NMI, functions in a couple of grips as demonstrated in the pictures. The push-knife grip isn't optimal but is secure enough to facilitate repeated applications to target areas. As with most edged weapons, only more-so, application to a hard target area is not recommended. Maximum efficacy would likely be attained by repeated, rapid application to the soft tissues surrounding the cervical vertebrae. That'd be the neck for you lay-people... Other target areas are of course also suitable, but there is a multitude of very vulnerable structures in the neck that something like this would be quite devastating to.
