What is the Quill? + Scalping Story!

[@sawicinfo1051]

You were great in Game of Thrones, nice to see you’re still plying the iron trade offscreen

[@HiveofIndustry]

HAHAHA God this scalping story was great. I didnt expect it to really turn into "I felt so bad for myself, what a terrible day". Brilliant.

[@markgabrich4788]

This episode was a roller coaster of emotions, Zac! You gave us humour, intrigue, a compelling story, valuable information. It had it all!😆

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!👍

I love my quill. I use it all the time and fidget with it all the time. Came in handy with an aggressive dog that came after mine while going for a walk.

[@wingardwearables]

Great to hear that. If you are comfortable with sharing more, please send an email to [e-mail] Another customer had an incident with a dog. It’s good to hear use cases.

@@wingardwearablesReceived black, original size quill today. It’s AWESOME! Fits my hand perfectly. Very comfortable even in bare metal but wrapped black grip tape in the U section where my middle two fingers go & now it’s REALLY comfortable. Shaped (flattened) the “chisel” (short) side a little bit with a jeweler’s file. I liked this so much that I just ordered your micro dickpick (I don’t need to “compensate” with a larger size 🤣). This will give me the ability to have a “tool” in each fist. Thanks for creating these innovative products & I wish you huge success with your business. 👍😎👍

[@knife_knut]

Oh, and thanks for the fast shipping! 👍👍

[@threeforafvneral]

Loving my quill. I had a small leather half sheath made for it so the spike doesn't poke through my pants and it now lives in my back pocket behind my wallet. Another carry option for people that want to carry it and forget it's there until you need it.

[@wingardwearables]

That is a great tip! We are hoping to come up with a Quill “carry system” for folks who might be interested in that, but haven’t had bandwidth to devote energy to it just yet.

[@jimmyrustler8983]

Those facets leave some funky holes in people too, a lot of the WW1 trench spikes had the same profile to them. 👍 The quill looks like it'd be super handy for unpicking knots in paracord or other cordage. I find those el cheapo leather firesteel holsters work well for sheathing spiky things, especially burnishers lying loose in a toolbox. Awesome video 👍

[@wingardwearables]

Gonna look up those fire steel sheaths. Thanks for the suggestion 👍

I have a homemade weapon I’ve made a long time ago from a metal chopstick that’s similar to that design. Now I want to buy a quill How pointy is the tip I wanna carry it in the pocket but I’m worried I would rip a hole since I wear sweatpants all the time

[@wingardwearables]

It’s a pyramidal tip, fairly blunt. If it’s too pointed for you, then you can easily blunt the tip a bit by running it along a file. 303 stainless is easily filed.

Hey with permission of course could you make a playlist of all the different videos you've sent of people using the quill as a "multi tool"?

Give the complexities of permission, variable video quality, etc, it will probably be easier for me to film myself using the Quill in various utility applications that customers have shown or claimed to have accomplished. It will be much easier for viewers to digest. On the to-do list.

I just checked out your website, but I didn’t see anything about purchase. I’m guessing I use any of the provided contact information listed there, but I’m unsure. Looking to get my fiancé something light, easily concealable, easy to use, and not to mention something that any cocky attacker is going to mistake for harmless. Your tools are absolutely amazing. I collect blades and really any type of self defense tool, and your products are just so peculiarly beautiful. They’re incredibly unique and I honestly feel they’d make the most amazing addition to any avid self defenders EDC kit.

@@wingardwearables I'm sorry to hear that. I had to put my beloved cat Lucy to sleep on New Years Eve 2019/2020. I should have known then that it was going to be a bad year, lol.

[@wingardwearables]

@@Vladpryde Yeah we had to put both Jack and Bacardi down on the same day in early 2020 (a couple of months before shutdowns). They were both 14 years of age, and both had different terminal illnesses that were rapidly advancing at the exact same time. A terrible day. A month later we got Tater Tot and Hot Sauce so the house is full of life again.

[@Vladpryde]

@@wingardwearables Good to hear getting new cats bro. I'm afraid I haven't done the same yet. I moved into a new (and by "new" I mean 45 years old....) house 100 miles south of where I lived at the time, and this place has turned out to be an absolute dump that had a massive flea infestation when I moved in (which I didn't know about at the time). It's going to be an on-going problem until pest control can eradicate them properly, and it would be irresponsible of me to raise an animal in that. I'm also trying to get signed up for a trucking company, and going on the road isn't conductive to a healthy pet relationship. I had my sweetheart for about 7 years before she got really sick two days before New Years Eve, and she had to go to two vets before the second one was able to determine that she had masses on her lymph nodes and in her stomach that was preventing her from pooping/peeing. She was estimated to be about 10 years old when I got her, so I figured at her age it was time and I didn't want her to suffer, so I let her go the same day we found out. It was awful.....I don't think I stopped crying for three days straight after that. Anyways.....you have great products, and I can't wait to purchase some when the budget allows. Thanks for the videos!

[@tannergeldert7705]

Just curious, does it hurt the hand when striking like some other Kubaton and knuckleduster style tools?

[@wingardwearables]

It does not. So you can do jabs, haymakers, hammerfists into flesh-and-bone-like materials without pain. However, if you punch really hard into a surface that would normally injure your bare fist, then putting a Quill in your hand will NOT protect your hand from injury. You could still get injured punching bricks and telephone polls, etc. I hope this makes sense. Also I just saw your order! Thank you! It should ship out tomorrow 👍

[@tannergeldert7705]

@@wingardwearables Awesome I was curious thanks for the answer. And I am excited to get my Back Ripper.

[@wingardwearables]

Just dropped it by the post office-hope it gets to you soon!

[@strwf]

Could you do a video on punching with it because it seems like it would yawn (turn/move) in your hand if you happened to hit something with resistance/hard and I think that could hurt I also think if you punch something with a lot of force against something with substance it would hurt your hand I'm not knocking your product I just want to see if I'm wrong or not thank you

[@wingardwearables]

Please explain to me your reasoning. Because if you do a punch “with a lot of force against something with substance”-what is something with substance? If I clobber a telephone pole or an oak pallet-it’s going to hurt my bare hand with or without the Quill, or brass knuckles, or many other hand held objects. If you hit a flesh-and-bone target, is that “something with substance”? Do you want to see me hit a pig head or something? Just trying to understand your question.

[@strwf]

@@wingardwearables when I say hit something with substance I mean something like hitting a person ( not that I want you to hit a person) who's wearing a carhartt coat and you hit his cellphone in his pocket or you hit his belt or you hit his head. Again, please don't take this as me trolling I truly would like to see this in action.i have bought things before and I will test them only to find out that they hurt your hand or they move around in your hand when you hit something hard. To me if your attacked your adrenaline will be going and your not going to be punching softly, it will be hard and probably wild, so you need something that's going to stay put and not hurt the user in the process thanks

[@wingardwearables]

@@strwf Understood. We have hit things of substance - blocks of ice, etc but I like your idea of demonstrating a layered target representing something that is in the realm of reality in a self defense encounter. I think I have an old smart phone around too. Sounds like a fun video.

[@richardhenry1969]

The problem I have with this is explaining why I was carrying it if I had to use it. I really don't think that would look good in front of a jury. Just like the tomahawk. Yes it's a fine weapon. But explaining why I was carrying a ax. While trying to explain I wasn't looking for trouble. The problem is our courts are full of crazy liberals. They feel the criminals are the victims. I know because I live in Baltimore city. I've experienced a home invasion. We talked to the police they acted like it was my fault a gang of punks broke in and beat an pistol whipped my wife and I. My whole level of security has now changed. I'm in the gym 3-4 times a week learning kali and jujitsu. I like your products I really do just have the issues I explained so please don't think I'm bad mouthing your designs I just think in this day and age things need to be for something else but work also well as a weapon, or they are nonlethal

[@jimmyrustler8983]

"Since being a victim of a home invasion, I've taken it upon myself to be armed in case of a reoccurence." And this one usually works, "I was put into a situation where I felt like I had to fight for my life."

[@wingardwearables]

Terrible that happened to you and your wife. I think I get what you’re saying, and it’s certainly easier for the courts if you are carrying something that has common lawful purpose. I think that’s why, in these KZbin videos such as for the Quill, I go over the everyday utility that these tools provide. We plan to do more of that in future videos for our tools, especially the tomahawks. If you carry something everyday and use it everyday, then you can honestly say “I use this for X,Y, and Z all the time” establishing a reason for its presence, why you carry it. Hope this makes sense.
