The Nextorch N21C Steel is a 21-inch expandable duty baton for security and law-enforcement use. The NEX Quicker design uses Nextorch's NEXlock mechanism: the baton locks firmly when extended and does not collapse in use, and is closed again by pressing a release button, so it does not need to be struck on the ground to collapse. The grip is a full-diameter thermoplastic rubber for a secure hold, and it is supplied with a flat end cap; a glass-breaker tip is available separately. The Steel version is made of steel throughout, giving a heavier, more solid baton of about 600 g. Users must confirm local laws and regulations on owning and carrying an expandable baton.
