Well, not really because a sword would fuck you up.However, for lack of anything else, a pen can augment bare hands. Which is why I disagree with one portion of this adverstatement:
From Marines hunting terrorists in burning deserts, SAR expeditions in bone chilling mountains, SWAT officers executing high risk warrant service, EMTs functioning in extreme conditions, or a civilian working in a non-permissive environment. All of these special operations groups have something in common - they all require a pen that they can depend on...If this civilian is, say, a lawyer, and the non-permissive environment is, say, the jail his client is in, this can be an incredibly bad thing. Such a pen definitely wouldn't be permitted in max/supermax facilities; you get these.
On a parallel digression, I'm recalling gun control advocates arguing that a crook will take your gun from you and kill you...so you should use pepperspray and dial 911 instead.
Q: What's stopping the crook from confiscating your pepperspray and phone?
A: Your sword, of course!
