Now now, lets leave the easy to understand Metric System alone and forget all this hard to understand, inches to feet, Imperial crap.

I have never heard of these Kubotans before, so I Googled the bastards. Bloody interesting. Cheap, too.

I wish I knew about these when I worked at the Embassy; I would have taken a bit more notice of peoples keyrings.

We had some batons there. I was never trained how to use them, so the best use I got was for flicking switches.

I might have to pick one of these up. They're so cheap, if Customs seizes it at the border it's not much skin off the wallet.

FrontSight Sir! What country do you live in? Would you please push the button on your digital calipers for inches? That mm measurement is not used here, french people use that. That said, looks like I'll have to find some 1/2 inch ti stock to start with.
Looks like my top of my head conversion would make that to be about 1/8" wall thickness.

For those unfamiliar with unit conversation, Google will do a good job (try: 34 cm in feet [press search]). (EDIT: It automatically converts it, didn't mean to send you off on a normal search)

3.26 mm = 0.128346457 inches
14.64 mm = 0.576377953 inches

The only thing metric in this shop is the Crescent wrench.

You appear to cut a lot of plastic.
