Cleaver Clutch Scares Muggers Away Before they Can Steal Your Purse

It’s never a good idea for women to be walking around at night by themselves, but if you do find yourself in that situation, this is definitely the purse you’ll want to be carrying.

The Killin It Cleaver Clutch by Kreepsville 666 is sure to make criminals think twice before they try to mess with you and grab your handbag. It’s shaped just like a bloody cleaver, but still has a little space inside to hold a few of your personal possessions, like money, credit cards, lipstick or your switchblade.

While it’s not quite as much of a deterrent as an actual bloody cleaver, you don’t have to worry about cutting yourself on this one. You can grab the Killin It Cleaver Clutch over at Karmaloop’s Miss KL department for $32(USD).

Assassin’s Creed IV Hidden Blade Replica for Sneaky Pirates

Ahoy assassin! If you thought the Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood Hidden Blade Replica was too flamboyant, perhaps the blade’s updated version will be more to your liking. Made by McFarlane Toys, this life-size replica forgoes the shiny PVC vambrace for a simpler one made of leather. I meant leathARRRR.

As with the previous replica, you don’t have to worry about being hurt or hurting someone with the blade because it’s made of soft plastic. Todd McFarlane himself told Kotaku, “When you press the spring it actually shoots out, like a blade should. There’s a snap to it. Then you get to the end and realize you can curl the tip on it, so it’s not going to do any real damage.”

Set sail for Gamestop to pre-order the Assassin’s Creed IV Hidden Blade Replica for $40(USD). It is a rare piece of treasure, for it is one of the few remaining reminders of what an assassin used to be. Nowadays, I wouldn’t be surprised if Edward Kenway will end up having a hidden ship cannon gauntlet and neon-colored clothes.

LEGO Swiss Army Knife: Shouldn’t It Be a Danish Army Knife?

I think you can do pretty much anything with LEGO bricks, but it still amazes me that we are seeing unique creations every day. This LEGO Swiss Army Knife comes from LEGO builder Robiwan_Kenobi. You might recognize that it’s made from LEGO Technic and Bionicle parts, which give it some nice authentic detail. And it is really functional.

lego swiss army knife

Kenobi first built a LEGO Swiss Army Knife back in 2010 and ever since, he has been improving on its design. Now, this knife is the end result. The folding mechanism works exactly like the real knife and all four tools within are functional – just not sharp.

In hopes of LEGO turning this into an actual kit you can buy, he put his creation on the LEGO Cuusoo crowdsourcing website, so if you want to show your support, check it out.

Guy Forges Klingon Bat’leth, Earns Much Honor

If you are a fan of the Awe Me channel, then you already know that for their series Man at Arms, master swordsmith and renowned propmaster, Tony Swatton, forges cool weapons and then takes them into the field to try them out. This week, Tony has created yet another epic weapon – Worf’s Klingon Bat’leth.

batleth weapon
He had gotten his hands on a cheap Chinese copy of a Klingon Bat’Leth, but he wasn’t happy with it, so he decided to make his own. And it isn’t as simple as cutting a piece of metal into shape and then swinging it at your enemies. This weapon was so sharp that Tony says it “almost cut his head off.” So he put on a chainmail cowl, a welding jacket and a leather apron to protect himself while working with it. Check out the build in the video clip below, and be sure to wait around until about 3:44 in to see it in action.

In the end, it is a thing of beauty and deadly sharp. It’s definitely not a toy. This thing will slice and dice you whether a Klingon is wielding it or not.

Del Ben Primitive Knife: Cut Like Your Stone Age Ancestors Did

Cutting implements have been around since the Stone Age, but this is the first knife that I’ve seen that seeks to replicate the experience of using a flint tool. The simple design allows for multiple uses in the kitchen.

Created by Italian designer Michele Daneluzzo, the Del Ben Primitive Knife has got no obvious handle. Its entire leading edge is a blade. You can use it to delicately slice off the skin of fish or to hack and slash meat as well as veggies.

The top edge thickens into a rounded edge, making the knife easy to grasp, though one does have to wonder if the knife is more likely to slip out of your hand than one with a traditional handle.

The Primitive was designed by Michele while he was a student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, but it’s being turned into a real product by Del Ben.

The Man Ring Titanium Utility Ring is the Only Jewelry a Man Needs

As a manly man, I’m not big on jewelry. No necklaces here. Well, not unless they were of an eagle or something – with a fresh kill in it’s claws. No rings. Nothing. But I would wear the Man Ring in a heartbeat. It’s the unofficial Swiss Army knife of rings.

It’s made from aerospace grade titanium and inside it packs an assortment of useful tools. There’s a bottle opener, a straight blade, a serrated blade for cutting tougher things, a saw for cutting plastic and wood, and a comb. All things that are necessary to live a manly life. Sure, the comb is tiny, but real men have mustaches.

This Snappable Spork Could See You Through a Whole Meal

This spork isn’t really a spork: it’s a spoon that turns into a knife and fork. It’s cleverly designed to see the user through soup then a regular main course—we just can’t really work out what it should be called. More »

Stab Your PC with a Butterfly Knife USB Drive

USB ports will immediately surrender when you threaten them with Benchmade’s Bali-USB drive. Not only does it look like a balisong – aka butterfly knife – you can also flip and twirl it around, minus the risk of being stabbed.

The drive is modeled after Benchmade’s 62 Bali-Song knife. Aside from the blade being swapped out, the USB drive is also made of plastic instead of steel, probably to make it cheaper. Here’s a demo video by YouTuber WHbluelife:

BladeOps is selling the 4GB model of the Bali-USB flash drive for the wallet-slashing price of $30 (USD).
