The optimal self-protection strategy is prevention. Stay alert to your environment and avoid risky situations. Consider wearing Tigress during activities such as running, biking, hiking, camping, walking alone, in poorly lit areas, or when using ride-sharing services.

The Tigress tether is adjustable. By default, the tether is set to the shortest length. Tether can be adjusted by loosening the 3 screws on the handle and gently pulling (or pushing it in if made too long) then tightening the screws again.

By default, Tigress is setup to work for right-handed people. To switch for left hand, see user guide for switching the tether orientation and length.

The Tigress holder will work with any standard 18mm watch band. If you plan to use Tigress for self-defense, make sure a new band is strong and snug fitting (not elastic). Do not use the pins that come with the band since they are not as strong as the screws included with Tigress.

Having Tigress on your wrist, it will be tempting to use it to cut open packages, etc. As with any self-defense knife, if your intention is self-defense, it is important not to use it for anything else.

Yes, you certainly can! But remember, it will dull and won't be as effective for self-defense if you do need it.

Because of the size and shape of the blade, it can be difficult to sharpen without the right tools. Replacement blades are for sale on our website.
