Slapjack “Paperweight” Attention Grabber

Note: Where/when listed, please DO NOT select "Misc. In-Store Only" for online orders. This is a catch-all option, and is reserved for miscellaneous items only available in one of our retail stores.

A throwback to a bygone era, the slapjack (or “sap”) is a flattened, weighted, leather baton-like item. Traditionally built with a steel slug in the head and a spring steel core in the body, this design combines rigidity with just enough flex to deliver a distinctive slap when struck against a surface. You’ll be surprised by how much of a wallop they pack — even as a novelty.

Nostalgic Craftsmanship

• Constructed from several layers of thick vegetable-tanned leather (skirting, harness, or English bridle).

• Weighted head with steel slug.

• Reinforced body with spring steel for flex and snap.

• Each piece is hand-finished to highlight the rugged, old-school feel of this iconic item.
