Titanium Collar Stays Double as Tools, Weapons

If prisoners wore fancy shirts, they'd wear them with these brutally useful stays

I?m pretty sure that putting a sharp, pointy sliver of titanium next to my throat is a bad idea, even if I am doing it myself. And yet this is the premise of the Titan Multi Tool Collar Stays from Exuvius, a pair of collar straighteners that will also cut and screw, and perform various other handy operations.

Collar stays are those stiff little plastic sticks that stop your shirt collar from curling up at the tips. Exuvius idea is to make these from tough but light titanium and incorporate screwdrivers, a bottle opener and a sharpened jaw for cutting threads. The tips are shaped to screw screws, but are still pointy enough to gouge a decent chunk of flesh.

Handy, to be sure, but you?ll have to remember to switch them between shirts lest you find yourself tool-less in a time of need. For the slightly steep asking price of $30 you do at least get two pairs of stays, and for the well-off, four pairs can be had for $50.

Available now.
