Slapjacks, also known as a "sap" or "Blackjack", are flattened and weighted leather baton-like devices. The head is filled with a lead slug and lead shoots, and the body has a piece of spring steel and lead shoots - combined, the device is stiff but also has a bit of flex, which helps it make a nice slapping thud when it hits a table or similarly hard surface. You'll be surprised at just how much of a wallop they pack. It's an old and somewhat nostalgic design. The sap is a great self-defense weapon one level before deploying a firearm.
A Leather SAP Slapjack or paperweight,  bookweight is constructed of 2 layers of durable Premium full-grain Milled Cowhide VEG-TAN Shoulder.
The Leather SAP Slapjack or paperweight, bookweight is a device measuring 6" long and weighing 380-480 grams making it a nice paperweight or bookweight. You can use it simply as paper or book weight, or decide like many people to carry one in your vehicle, pocket, or purse.
