I carry a Sharpie everywhere I go but never put a lot of thought into using it as a self-defense weapon.  In this video it looks like it can be used in ways similar to a Kubaton for some techniques.

Yes, for whatever reason I couldn't get the link posted.  I expect it was user error as usual.

When I was in the Pallet Racking Industry; I had sharpies, pens, pencils in my pocket from the time I left the house until I got home at the end of the day. 

Then having Steel Capped Boots, oddly comfortable once appropriately worn in. Used several times in self-defence, and hurts like heck when getting kicked in the shins.
