Falter 2D DIY Metal Pen Draws, Measures, Opens Envelopes, Kills People

Made in Italy by Parafernalia, the $31 Falter 2D is a flat piece of metal that converts, in just four easy steps, into a pen but also a ruler, and a envelope opener, and a device to kill people a la Calo killing Don Licio Lucchesi in the Godfather III. How-to after the jump.

The Falter 2D hand-made flat pen is hand-made in Italy, from a design by Albert Ebenbichler developed by ATOdesign in Florence. The question now is: who hand-mades the hand-made hand-made pens? I sense a time-space galaxy-destroying paradox coming up. [Parafernalia]

What happens if you photo copy a photo copy of the handmade pen being hand made?

Reminds me of Kevin Mitnick's business card, which breaks out into lock picks. I really like it because I used to pick locks as a hobby.

Prediction: Colbert, Stewart, and O'Brien will all claim equal parts of having made the hand-made-hand-making of these pens. They will then claim that because pens are writers' tools, they, therefore, made their writers.

A second writers' strike will ensue, but will be short-lived, ending when they reveal that the whole bit was thought up and scripted by the writers they claimed to have made, using the very pens in question.

This could prove to be a funny thing in class:

Imagine going to the toilet.
Returning, you see that some dBag disassembled you pen and stole one crucial part.
In that very moment you realize that it is the only pen you took to school/university today.

Oh, great. Now the TSA is going to ban pens from planes.

"just four easy steps, into a pen but also a ruler, and a envelope opener, and a device to kill people" That don't help italians stereotypes.

Are they reusable? Or do you need to buy a new one each time you kill someone?

A solution in search of a problem.

When I was younger, after much razzing by her older brother, my sister, probably about five at the time tried to stab me with a nail file.

If only they had included that feature - it would have made a great wedding anniversary gift for her!

@SexCpotatoes:

Take some responsibility for the environment and make it reusable. Haven't you heard a thing Al has said?

We all have to make some comfort sacrifices for this mother Earth. Even when killing someone.
