Sap, Blackjack & Slungshot History: The Flat Sap

[romandybala]

Ha ha . This is great, Just discovered this video in 2019. A schoolfriend's father had a 12 in length of rubber compressor air hose . In one end it had a short maybe 3/4 inch bolt, it was also sand filled and had a cork at the other end keeping the sand in. He was bailed up in a subway one night by two punks, apparently one blow felled one of the attackers and the other saw better than to continue and decided to bolt.

Very cool history and post, I have an old S&W sap I bought at an antique shop for 15$. Still in Very serviceable shape

Hi. There is a variant of this that I've seen as a kid. I went to a Christian Brother School in the 60s a and 70s and the Brothers used a 10 inch (or so ) flat sap that was reportedly lined with silver coins within. If bold (according to them) You would get slapped on the palms or arse. Boy did it smart. thanks for uploads.

Those dings are nicks are due to smash cinder blocks, I can tell because I have done the exact same thing with similar results

Nice historical reference with the leather maker

[SonySniper]

All those little craters were probably from whoever was using it having it in their back pocket, and sitting on concrete or something similar

[zachjohnson]

Was this leather maker based out of Lincoln NE?

I was thinking about this and I wonder what your opinion is, but like in my stats illinois blackjacks are listed as illegal but theres no mention of saps or flat saps well flat saps are totally different things so they should be ok yo carry legally then right?
