Basically to test the strength of antlers (for slingshot frames), I made a test dagger today, took me about 30 minutes to make.

I cut off a halfway straight part, sawed the tip off, glued in a threaded 8mm steel rod and sharpened the whole thing. I filed in a rudimentary handle.

This came out way better than I thought! A mean, crude, but no doubts dangerous home made weapon.

Not a slingshot

No doubt one could get the point of that thing.

Really though, how were you utilizing that to test the strength for a catty. That was not one of you better reasons to make something new, like a lethal, metal tipped pointer.

That looks deadly~!

Yes, Buffy has a similar weapon. But I believe she must use wood in order to address the specific vulnerability of her prey.

Well, I wanted to find out how solid a thin antler piece gets when you glue in a threaded steel rod.

It is pretty much unbreakable, my vise test does not lie.

Then I decided to sharpen it, just because I can.

It's like a Kubotan, used for self-defence.

Here is the enhancement of tonite - sawed it apart, straightened it, inserted steel rod and glued it together, then filing and sanding.

It is now quite nice!

The finished product is nice and will add another earthy element to your collection.

A poke with that could ruin your whole day.
