Boston Leather Model 5417 4ply Denver Sap

This is a quality made product, will be great for close quarter self defense.

Too bad that Boston leather doesn't make a blackjack, which I feel is more effective yet perhaps a bit more dangerous in a critical sense. A sap can be wielded while holding the flat against your palm or the edges against your palm. For me holding the edges against the fingers and palm to deliver the flat of the sap isn't the most comfortable or natural way to wield and impact device. When holding the flat against the palm you are then delivering the edge of the sap which can be extremely deadly under the right circumstances unless you're working against the limbs. There are other places to get high quality blackjacks but most are custom and far more pricey than Boston leathers products. At any rate, I would certainly trust this Denver sap in a defensive situation.

Loved mine so much I bought 2 more for my children!

……we had several family friends who carried saps and blackjacks back in the 1950s and 60s while serving with San Francisco PD. When we visited them back then, they would occasionally let me fiddle around with one much to my delight. Of course this type of equipment went out of favor with the higher ups, but I clearly recall their uniform pants having a pocket on the side of the leg to stash a sap. This Boston Leather example is exactly like the ones I remember. Use the flat, not the edge!

Fantastic affordable quality product. I will be back for more
