A self-defense system, comprising:
- a deterrent item consisting of at least one from the set of:
- pepper spray, a light, a stun device, and a signaling alarm;
- a first sleeve retainably securing the deterrent item;
- a knife having a handle and a tip;
- a second sleeve laterally coupled to the first sleeve and housing the knife, the second sleeve comprising a first side and a second side joined together along a portion of a perimeter of the second sleeve, wherein a joined portion of the second sleeve houses the knife handle, wherein an unjoined portion of the second sleeve is movable between an initial covering position and a secondary revealing position, wherein in the initial covering position, the knife tip is covered by the first and second sides, and wherein in the secondary revealing position, the first and second sides move away from the knife tip to expose the knife tip;
- and
- a hand strap laterally adjacent to the second sleeve and coupled to at least one of:
- the first sleeve and the second sleeve, the hand strap sized and shaped to secure the self-defense system about a hand of a user.
A self-defense device holder, comprising:
- a first sleeve;
- a second sleeve laterally coupled to the first sleeve, the second sleeve comprising a first side and a second side joined together along a portion of a perimeter of the second sleeve, wherein an unjoined portion of the second sleeve is movable between an initial covering position and a secondary revealing position, wherein in the initial covering position, the first and second sides are near one another, and wherein in the secondary revealing position, the first and second sides move outwardly away from one another;
- and
- a hand strap laterally adjacent to the second sleeve and coupled to at least one of:
- the first sleeve and the second sleeve, the hand strap sized and shaped to secure the self-defense device holder about a hand of a user.
A method of making a self-defense system, comprising the following steps:
- retainably securing a deterrent item within a first sleeve, wherein the deterrent item consists of at least one from the set of:
- pepper spray, a light, a stun device, and a signaling alarm;
- housing a knife within a second sleeve laterally coupled to the first sleeve, the knife having a handle and a tip, and the second sleeve comprising a first side and a second side joined together along a portion of a perimeter of the second sleeve, wherein a joined portion of the second sleeve houses the knife handle, and wherein an unjoined portion of the second sleeve is movable between an initial covering position and a secondary revealing position, wherein in the initial covering position, the knife tip is covered by the first and second sides, and wherein in the secondary revealing position, the first and second sides move away from the knife tip to expose the knife tip;
- and
- coupling a hand strap to at least one of:
- the first sleeve and the second sleeve, the hand strap sized and shaped to secure the self-defense system about a hand of a user.
