How does a Steel Fan work?
The Steel Fan operates on a folding mechanism with steel ribs that pivot from a central point. When closed, the fan collapses into a compact baton-like shape that can be carried discreetly or used as a striking implement.
To deploy, the user grips the base and flicks the wrist outward, causing the steel ribs to spread and lock into an open fan position. The quick-opening action allows for rapid transition between concealed carry and active use during martial arts forms or defensive techniques.
