EXPANDABLE BATONS HARDENED AND NON-HARDENED
Let us offer you high-quality metal expandable batons. They are made in non-hardened (ordinary) version in two lengths with one type of handle or in hardened (police) versions in five different lengths with three types of handles. The baton is opened by sharp flick and stays firmly fixed in this position. The baton serves for fast self-defence in different conflict situations. This product is suitable for the police (hardened version), security agencies, and guards, against an assailant armed with a knife, for walking in the country alone or with a dog.

EXPANDABLE BATONS NON-HARDENED
Type: ExB 21N, ExB-16N
Expandable batons 21" and 16" in standard NON-HARDENED version
They have a top quality tenacious rubber grip with an original anti-slip surface. This surface expressively decreases any possibility of the baton being yanked from the hand. A firm grasp of the baton gives the user a comfortable certitude. The non-hardened baton is recommended for personal self-defence and it is not designed for professional use. The batons are made in black nickel-zinc surface finish (with good resistance to abrasion) or in white nickel finish.
EXPANDABLE BATONS HARDENED
Type: ExB-26H, ExB-23H, ExB-21H/HT/HE, ExB-18H/HE, ExB-16H/HE
Expandable batons 26", 23", 21", 18" and 16" in HARDENED version
The difference to the non-hardened version is the expandable tubes, which are made from a more superior material, which is hardened by heat treatment. Three types of handles are available – anti-slip handle with indented – rough surface of the type "H" or gentler surface of the type "HT" (this design expressively decreases any possibility of the baton being yanked from the hand and gives the user a comfortable certitude) or ergonomic handle of the type "HE" with pleasant smooth surface. The batons are highly resistant to a flexion if the baton is exposed to a hard stroke. They meet the requirements of the German standard for expandable batons and are intended for professional use by police and other authorities. Surface finish is black nickel-zinc (with good resistance to abrasion), or white chrome.
Demonstration of difference between hardened and non-hardened baton (after one blow) |
All expandable batons are supplied with plastic holder BH-02 or BH-03, for which European patent was granted (EU Pat. No.: 1832834).

| plastic holder BH-02 - for lengths of batons 16", 18" and 21" | plastic holder BH-03 - for lengths of batons 21", 23" and 26" |
This plastic holder enables:
- Very quick drawing of the baton just with one hand, since thanks to automatic opening of the holder after unfastening of nylon strap there is almost no friction.
- Possibility of modification of size of aperture for the belt by cutting the dividers and thus inclination of the holder forward or backward as neededy.
- Holder with unfastened nylon strap enables carrying of expanded baton.
