What in the name of EDC nonsense is a "defense ruler" ?

UPDATE: Clearly I need to show ya'll some photos of this nonsense

@futurebird most of them I have seen are simply a 50cm ruler of thicker metal (about 3-5mm) with a tassel on the end.

I suppose you *could* use it as some kind of ninja weapon if you wanted, but I suspect the Chinese are having a good laugh at the expense of American bros - especially for those rulers which have had the extra bits added (which makes them less useful as the handle won't lie flat) and are sold at premium prices - you can get the basic ruler for £10 and to be fair that does seem a bit more practical as an actual ruler.

Maybe it will even encourage Americans to use metric more😁

Well as an American I don't want a wimpy "defense ruler" I want an "attack ruler"

@eliterrell @WesternInfidels @futurebird @vfrmedia I remember in the 80s there was a Rambo-based trend for combat knives with “survival” tools built in like a saw blade, fishing kit, matches, etc. and many had a ruler printed on the blade and listed as a feature. Like wow in case of life-threatening emergency you can measure something up to five inches long!
