A guy had been asking for a peculiar custom sword of sorts, that I wasn't too inclined to make, but slowly over time I was convinced if for no other reason than just to see what people would say about it. He was simply calling it "the exsanguinator," while I adopted the name "hypodermic estoc."

The idea is that if it pierces a fluid-filled object, the fluid will drain out through the holes. Testing on water-filled watermelons was very successful. It was also handy for just bashing the melons to pieces.

Made of all titanium alloys. 49" long, and very light weight. The "needle" has a hardened tip. It's pretty fucked up, if I do say so myself! :D

There are video clips of it on my Instagram page, @madscienceforge, of it being used against watermelons.
 
But.... Is it easy to make, & When is the next batch?

With a little sheath, it would make one heck of a walking stick/fish spear/drinking straw etc. Etc.. :D
