Enjoyed watching the craftwork. Subscribed. The challenge these days is there are tons of laws in place to limit “targets from having ways to defend themselves, and the criminals don’t seem to care about having illegal weapons. Or breaking the law otherwise.
Yes, it's an unfortunate side effect of those laws. Bad guys don't care about the laws, so what you oftentimes get is an unarmed good guy who followed the rules and an armed bad guy taking the shirt off their back, or worse. But anyway, thank you very much for subscribing, It's much appreciated. 🙏
Put a small pocket on the outside to slip in a micro multi tool. Then it validates the tool/utility aspect and would still be useful as a last-resort, improvised flail with an extra metal bit with sharper edges.
Birdshot is a great filler for a dedicated sap. But yes, you're right, the idea is to use it as a coin purse unless absolutely necessary to self-defend.
I reckon I could get enuf quarters in there to do 2 loads at the local laundromat , and dry em too 👍😉, nice to see folks use their talent and knack to make something useful. Hope you never have to “defend” yourself : but if you do . . . . .
WOW!!!!! You are an awesome craftsman!!!!! A buddy of mine suggested that I carry I similar size leather piece but is a screwdriver holder for two small screwdrivers that is secured on your belt. It’s a tool belt idea but smaller that could be used for other reasons. I’m always in need of small screwdrivers anyway. But I like your idea too and it could be also be carried. I’m a tool guy and I need them for my job. 👍🏼 You do beautiful work that will last a lifetime! I would love to have you make one for me. Stay safe brother! 🙏🏼 Shared and Subscribed. 👍🏼

I carried something like this for years, mine was carried in one of my pockets, with a heavy cord with a sinker that hung outside the pocket. I never used it, because, IF I sense a problem developing, I retreat, always. If the problem develops too quickly for you to retreat, you are better off not wasting time getting a weapon. Maybe I could have used it instead of my fists then the Balmain Slipper, but MOST times I got into fights, it was the other guy trying to sucker-punch and getting countered hard.
this is considered a slap jack/blackjack so check your local laws as they are illegal to carry/use in many areas, i know they are here in colorado sadly as i already considered it for when i can't carry a firearm. i ended up going with a good strong self defense cane for those situations being a medical device, and being just a strong cane they cannot deny it, of course the hidden blade ones would be a problem though.
Yes, saps and blackjacks are a touchy subject. There are strict laws in place in basically all US states regarding them. In some states, they're illegal to own and carry, and in some, they're legal to own at home but not to carry out in public. I also think some concealed carry licenses cover them. But I'm not 100% sure, so it's always best to check local laws. The cane seems like a nice replacement though, better range of attack, too. Thanks for watching!
@@CastilloHeritageCrafts nice craftsmanship - I especially liked the sipper work. I live in NY state [not the city] and these devices are high on the No-No List [along with batons, nun-chucks, and on and on...]
I've got one from the original designer Mean Gene Leather and this is a good design for a self defense tool that you can take anywhere......getting hit with a lot off coins hurts and it can cause serious damage. Also, don't wear it with the coin pouch out, wear it with the handle on the outside off your belt. This way if you do ever have to use it to protect yourself your already holding the handle when you deploy it.
@@CastilloHeritageCrafts If folks are in a no-gun state, they need something to use to defend themselves. It is getting crazier every day out there. A simple pugilistic weapon is effective.
@@jacksonsmiler8028 Absolutely. Defense of oneself is a muti-layered proposition, just as an army plans for layers of defensive capabilities. When traveling, I always pack five rolls of pennies in my luggage. When I get to where I am going, the pennies go in a tough sock and I tie a knot in it. That is a field expedient blackjack. Fits in a back pocket. I'm old enough to be profiled as someone who needs a cane (I do not). Canes get through security and are a fine pugilistic defensive tool AND can help achieve/maintain distance between an attacker and a defender. A high-grade aluminum ball point pen is ALWAYS in my shirt pocket. When and where I can, I always carry a gun and a knife. Lastly, I NEVER wear footwear I cannot climb, run, fight in. Situational awareness and threat assessment is a lifestyle. Some call it paranoia. Paranoia is irrational and involves delusions and is not analyzed.
Neat design, but I'm not sure I want any more weight on my belt. I already carry a Gerber multi-tool and a spare magazine. What coins give the most weight per volume?
A quick Google search said the Double Eagle $20 gold coin is technically the heaviest circulating coin, haha. Never seen one of those though. I think your best bet is to load up on 50 cent pieces.

They are just for a bit of extra support to prevent small coins like dimes from slipping into a place you can't reach. Yes, I glued the inside of the handle, but over time It could have potentially opened up in there.
I am still researching any risk involved with selling these, seeing as how they are illegal in some US states. But if I find a safe avenue to sell them, I will be informing my subscribers ASAP.
@@CastilloHeritageCrafts LOL! Neither would a perp. I can see the headlines now: "Perp tries to rob mad, when suddenly the would-be robber sees stars."
I'm not waiting around for when they do, though. I will stay protected until the pumpkins evolve and retaliate for my actions, haha. Anyway, thanks for watching!
Yes, there are places where it's legal to own, but carrying it is unlawful (in some places a conceal carry license covers saps and blackjacks.) Thanks for watching.
I feel like if you hit somebody with that, you’re just gonna piss them off. Is that any worse than getting hit with a fist? Not trying to come down on you just genuinely curious.
Saps and Blackjacks are illegal in several states for a reason. You can very much break bones with this thing, especially when filled to the brim with coins.
If you hit someone with your fist you may do as much damage to your knuckles as to your opponent. But a sap is basically a dead blow hammer. There is little rebound so most of the force goes into the target. You don't hurt yourself, but hurt your target a lot. A sap pocket used to be standard on police uniforms. A sap was much like a like a night stick, but stealthy. If a cop was grappling an opponent at close quarters, even a light blow with a sap could end the fight. Problem was, a blackjack or sap is TOO efficient. A strike from a sap can break bones. A strike to the head can very easily kill, even if that wasn't what the cop intended. You had to be VERY good to apply just enough force to stop an opponent, but not too much to kill. Not enough cops were that skilled😅. Basically, saps and blackjacks were outlawed (where they are outlawed) because they were too good at what they did. They ARE deadly weapons. If you use one, expect that is the standard that will be applied.
Yes, sand is good. Metal BBs or buckshot is even better. But the point is to be a coin pouch first and foremost, with the added benefit of helping you in a dire pinch. You're also right about sporting events, airports, and such. It likely won't be allowed in places where even pocket knives are banned. It's also illegal in some US states altogether. And thank you for watching! I appreciate it.
Worthy idea. I'm just not comfortable with the zipper. When you smack somebody, it's going to come from deep - something you don't unleash on a pumpkin. That force will likely pop that zipper. Using the same design shape, and less work, maybe don't glue the handle shut. Use that, with a squeeze to open and close, run the coins through the tube. No zipper necessary.
I like that idea. The coins slide through the neck instead of the zipper. For what it's worth, I think the zipper would hold up. But in an emergency situation, you need peace of mind that it would absolutely never bust open. My reservation is that it might make it into a better Sap and a slightly worse coin pouch. You'd have to empty the contents into your palm until you find the coins you need, then feed all the unneeded coins back in. With the zipper, you can sift through and pick out your coins. But your design is definitely worth tinkering with. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you very much for watching.
@@CastilloHeritageCrafts lol, to be truthful, I never really considered the possibility of actually REMOVING coins LOL. They're much more useful IN the coin purse LOL.
Some strange thing. I don't know why people wrote they like it. Neither properly working as a purse no as a weapon. The zipper is a weak point. Seams inconvenient to use the small zipper and opening in this exact direction. I'd make it open in opposite direction. As a weapon it'll break with 1st hit. Like having a single charged selfmade pistol.
You're right about the zipper, I'd definitely switch the opening direction if I ever made it again. It works quite well as a coin purse. The whole thing is really quite resilient. But thank you for the watch and the comment anyway!
I do believe that in most jurisdictions, state & local, carrying a "sap" is illegal and a knowledgeable cop would quickly determine that was what you had, especially if you had given reason for him to conduct a frisk of your person. "Well, what is this, pray tell?" And with that the cop would begin stacking charges on you. I would say it is unwise to have this hanging from your belt and should be carried in a pocket like a coin-purse would normally be carried. He would probably just examine it, see coins and move on. But dangling from your belt, possibly swinging from it, just might connect the dots for him. Anyway, that's my observation which does not detract from the fact Castillo is an adept leather craftsman.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment and compliment. And yes, you're right. Even I myself have hesitated to carry it, as an eagle-eyed policeman might recognize it. That being said, pocket, or even cold-weather climates where you have a coat hanging over it most of the time are ideal if someone were to carry this (and of course, check local laws for the legality.) Thanks again for watching!
Saps, a type of bludgeon, are prohibited under federal law and the laws of every State with which I'm familiar. These devices are categorized as "dangerous instruments". Such weapons are not afforded protection under the Second Amendment because no military force throughout history has customarily used them, thus saps do not qualify as "Arms".
Police don't randomly search you unless you draw attention to yourself. If you use this to save your life doubt you will be charged with anything. But this all goes out the window if you live in democratic state,NY,Mass etc!😊
Exactly, many people will be able to carry this without any issue. And some might say it's better to defend yourself in a lawfully questionable way than be unquestionably harmed. But it's still good to check local laws. Thanks for watching!
Definitely, if you carry a bag or if you're a woman carrying a purse, fight off attackers with whatever you've got! This is just a convenient way to carry extra change with the upside of potentially helping you in a pinch.

Put a small pocket on the outside to slip in a micro multi tool. Then it validates the tool/utility aspect and would still be useful as a last-resort, improvised flail with an extra metal bit with sharper edges.
Yeah, that's probably the best plan. Add enough features to justify it as a multi-tool. And you "just happened" to use it as a self-defense device.
It's called a sap
Good idea, bird shot is more effective, but that one could pass on of as a coin purse.
Birdshot is a great filler for a dedicated sap. But yes, you're right, the idea is to use it as a coin purse unless absolutely necessary to self-defend.
One can't buy an ice cream with bird shot and who could argue when you tell the judge "I hit him with my purse!" 🙄

Exactly, it's convenient and easy to carry. The idea is to never have to use it in the worst-case scenario. But it's better to be prepared than hurt.

Nothing wrong with a multi-purpose change holder! Especially if you've got lots of loonies to deal with!
That's what I was saying! Great for Canadians with those pesky rules about self-defense, and they have lots of change to carry.

Because that didn't happen, lol. These devices are very strong. That's the reason they're banned in many US states.
Interessante.
It's called a blackjack.
In most States in the U.S. a sap is illegal……….
By my research, it's actually legal in many states. But definitely check local laws before ever making or purchasing a Sap or Blackjack.
Get atta here 😂
Pumpkins beware
Some strange thing. I don't know why people wrote they like it. Neither properly working as a purse no as a weapon. The zipper is a weak point. Seams inconvenient to use the small zipper and opening in this exact direction. I'd make it open in opposite direction. As a weapon it'll break with 1st hit. Like having a single charged selfmade pistol.
You're right about the zipper, I'd definitely switch the opening direction if I ever made it again. It works quite well as a coin purse. The whole thing is really quite resilient. But thank you for the watch and the comment anyway!
I carry a .357 magnum.
The more the merrier.
I do believe that in most jurisdictions, state & local, carrying a "sap" is illegal and a knowledgeable cop would quickly determine that was what you had, especially if you had given reason for him to conduct a frisk of your person. "Well, what is this, pray tell?" And with that the cop would begin stacking charges on you. I would say it is unwise to have this hanging from your belt and should be carried in a pocket like a coin-purse would normally be carried. He would probably just examine it, see coins and move on. But dangling from your belt, possibly swinging from it, just might connect the dots for him. Anyway, that's my observation which does not detract from the fact Castillo is an adept leather craftsman.
Thank you for the thoughtful comment and compliment. And yes, you're right. Even I myself have hesitated to carry it, as an eagle-eyed policeman might recognize it. That being said, pocket, or even cold-weather climates where you have a coat hanging over it most of the time are ideal if someone were to carry this (and of course, check local laws for the legality.) Thanks again for watching!
Pumpkins don't hit back.
Haha, that got a laugh out of me.
Saps, a type of bludgeon, are prohibited under federal law and the laws of every State with which I'm familiar. These devices are categorized as "dangerous instruments". Such weapons are not afforded protection under the Second Amendment because no military force throughout history has customarily used them, thus saps do not qualify as "Arms".
I think in some states concealed carry licenses cover saps. But I'm not 100% sure, and it's best to check local laws. Thanks for watching!
don't try it in UK whole sections in law about improvised weapons
Yup, I'm definitely advising everyone to check local laws first. Thanks for the heads up. And thank you for watching.
Police don't randomly search you unless you draw attention to yourself. If you use this to save your life doubt you will be charged with anything. But this all goes out the window if you live in democratic state,NY,Mass etc!😊
Exactly, many people will be able to carry this without any issue. And some might say it's better to defend yourself in a lawfully questionable way than be unquestionably harmed. But it's still good to check local laws. Thanks for watching!
Draw attention to yourself...like being black... happens in the UK as well.
Bullshit.
It's a coin purse 🙄
Weak link is that zipper. One blow and your coins are on the ground and you are disarmed with a pissed off assailant. Choose your impact point wisely.
Just Cary a weighted handbag.
Definitely, if you carry a bag or if you're a woman carrying a purse, fight off attackers with whatever you've got! This is just a convenient way to carry extra change with the upside of potentially helping you in a pinch.
Why carry that when most carry guns in the US? At least that’s what the media tells us.
I mean, lots of gun owners. But yes, not nearly as many carry as we are lead to believe. Much easier to carry a coin pouch.
Most states allow you to own them but you cannot carry, it could earn you a felony
Yes, that's correct. There are strict laws against saps and blackjacks. Always check local laws. Thank you for watching.
