Some great points Tony, thanks. Yes, I was definitely aware of the Modus when this idea came to fruition. I believe it had launched not terribly long before I left, and was starting to gain some traction then. The only point I see that could not somewhat easily be combated is the double prong, as the current product supply without creating my own would be single pronged. There may be ways to combat that issue, of the cigar spinning, but I'd have to look into them.

While the pictured item I have shown is not as long, it is indeed sharp and could be used to stab at someone in the required instance. There are various length prongs that I could use, and likely would have versions of them. The one I have pictured is between 4-5 inches. There are some slightly shorter, and some that can hit the 7-8 length that a churchill would provide.

Thanks again for the feedback. Any and all conversation will help me plot where this may go, how to make it as strong a product as it may be while meeting all the needs of those who would use it. I do know there are some who would like it - and some who would prefer a more practical application. I'm trying to find what would best meld those two groups so that it becomes a "Hey, that's pretty dang cool and it's only $15 bucks, why the hell not?" type of a buy.

There are a few options to keep one from poking themselves. I am looking into what may be best, and it may vary from design to design. There are removable and replaceable "caps" that slide onto the end of the point. As in the case of something the size of the one I have pictured, it could be attached to your person via keychain ring to car keys, or even just a belt clip that may also be able to come as an additional accessory so that it doesn't clutter up your keys. I believe a tube carry case could also be implemented very easily, where the tool is held in a "tubo" of its own that would fit into whatever standard case sizing you prefer. Would depend on if you wanted it clipped or taking up a cigar spot.
