Defiant watch, box cutter and pin. Apparently the watches are VERY rare, as well as the box cutters. The pin, no clue.

The box cutter was on eBay about a month ago for a $10 BIN. It looked used and I passed on it. It may still be around.

I've seen all of these items before. I think Mile High has the watch listed on their site, though I don't recall if he had any in stock.

IIRC the watch (and maybe the pin as well) was advertised on some of Defiant's print ads in their own comics that if people wanted to buy them they could order them from the company. Chances are that the pin was probably also given to retailers as incentives or as a "thank you for buying Defiant Comics" and maybe given out at conventions too.
The box cutter I have no idea.

The one Defiant pin, the tower one, was given away at the Defiant booth at the WW Philly con in '93.
The watch was for sale at the same booth for $25.
Never seen the cutter.

The one I got at that price was not a BIN, but it sure was well used.
I also got the tower pin and some other stuff from the same seller.

I guess if the comics are bad enough, you can use the box cutter to hack them up and flush them down the toilet...

They were for shop owners to cut open their shipping boxes.
