DEAL PENDING!!!
... when it's really a mini-harpoon.
I call this nasty piece of equipment "Little Ahab." It looks like a fountain pen. Well, sort of. (It's actually slightly bigger: 6 inches long.) But it does fit in a shirt, pants, or jacket pocket. Even comes with a pocket clip.
The clip only goes partway around the barrel of this so-called pen. Give it a little twist and it exposes a button hidden beneath. Depress the button, and a spring-loaded, razor-sharp, 3 1/2 inch spear rockets out. If this were to happen against, say, someone's bicep, it might ruin that person's weekend.
We won't even get into the results if this thing were depressed against other parts of the body. This is not a toy. It's a weapon of last resort. Be careful how--and when--you use it.
Truth is, I bought it for my wife. First said: "Here, honey, carry this knife, just in case." She replied: "Oh, oh, a knife! Heavens to Betsy! No, I-I couldn't!" Then said: "Here, honey, got a little pen thingy for your purse." She replied: "Oh, this is so nice of you. Thank you." Then said: "Here, let me show you how it works." Pressed the button. SNAP! Out shot the mini-harpoon. Wife peeled self off ceiling. Replied: "Oh my God, you're mentally ill! You need help!"
So ... Little Ahab's on the market. Or, I've been informed, I am. Somebody take him off my hands for 30 bucks shipped CONUS. Comes in a cordura nylon sheath with belt loop. Priced for a quick sale. Just want him outta here before I get any more grief. Prefer Paypal (I'll eat the 3%) but will take an MO. Contact me at chesanow@optonline.net
