Das Nashorn Kegel

Post by Count Johnathan »

... AKA - The Rhino Cone

Which seems a very suitable name for this...
Image
48 inches of ass kicking power...
Image
Image
Which is made out of a 44 inch piece of rattan, 2 racquetballs, leather, tape, tool dip and this....
Image
Which I purchased at petsmart but the only color they had was this terrible flourescent green so I cut the rounded end off, sanded the facets into it, made my thrusting tips out of requetballs and tool dipped the mace head end.

I can't wait to smash some folks with it. :twisted:

I'm pretty sure there is no way in the world I'd let you hit me with that thing. :D If there isn't a rule that prevents it, I recommend the Aten marshallate invent one. :D :D :D

Actually it only weighs 3.4 lbs total (max is 6lbs) and has absolutely zero rigid materials in the head. The cone is hollow and the tips are racquetballs so while I agree, it doesn't look friendly, it won't be any worse than any other mace out there.

I have already considered that I will have to be nice to my opponents with it. After all, it is a mace. They aren't designed to hit light. :wink:

Mine is similar, its an xl kong, beehive shape.
It hits very hard and imho requires restraint, very fun toy.

Ahh yes up to a max of six pounds right. So it's 4 foot and I can add an additional .6 lbs if I wanted too. :twisted:
