I have trained in the Tessen, it is pretty much Hanbo techniques. The true lesson though is anything can be a weapon. A comb or brush a pen, anything you are carrying or can pick up can aid you in your defense.

Do you have any kind of information on how we can order one of these exact same ones? I've been looking at ordering a Tessan but like everything else today the market is flooded with cheap crappy knockoffs making the choice of which one to order frustrating. I would like to just order this one.
