A pen that could kill...

[Pen_Turner_Dan]

Not saying that's what I want to use it for, but is it possible to you very fine crafstman to make a pen "clip" that is actually a small vial holding a slim amount of Rattlesnake venom in liquid form?:biggrin: And if so, will the venom always be liquid? Can you make it air-tight?

An idea for a super-snake pen I am making, clearly for show. I don't want venom to get loose and kill everyone that uses it!

Anyway, if you can make this, I shall await a PM. :wink:

If you want to know my pen idea, PM me and I'll show you a diagram, no stealing my ideas!

I think everyone is afraid to respond.....:biggrin:

Who's it for - James Bond?:biggrin:

With some imagination, you could make an acrylic "see through" clip, then drill a small hole to act as a vial.

I can see in my mind how it should wind up, but do not have the skills to make it happen.

it will dry up

Just use cat urine and tell them its snake venom. IF they doubt you dare them to drink it.

Have fun getting your sample from the kitty!!!

If it dries up, will it turn to powder?
And still looking for someone with these 'special' skills!

Couldn't help myself. This was an idea and a day of paint. :tongue:

Opinions? :biggrin:

Not exactly what you'd call an expert in the field, but in my experience it dried up (being a water based toxin.) It's basically a modified saliva. It's still incredibly toxic in powdered form however, and many have died from a so called "medicine" made from rattler fangs. Damhikt, but I've had (and still have) some pretty bizzare hobbies other than turning.

Where can one buy dried up rattle venom?

 

[Grizz]

Well, as you probably already know. Any pen can be used to kill someone. Just depends upon the user and his knowledge.

How about the cigar pen?
After all, smoke WILL kill you...

It is no doubt possible to keep a liquid a liquid inside of a vial. just look at a liquid level for example. the liquid is not often water thought for freezing reasons. Not at all certain how venom would rate on that score. I also believe that the vial has a vacuum inside it but not certain. You may want to start with how those level vials are made or something like that for ideas. I am not sure your clip shape is very doable. maybe a small long thin tube that attaches to the clip though.

as for adding poison to your pen. That sort of bring up a lot of liability type thinking. For me I jsut don't think I would go there.

haha, the design ideas were just thrown out there, but these are things that you guys helped with to make it better! Thank you guys!

Offer still stands for someone able to do this!

Use a labrotory pippete and seal the ends with a bunson burner the way you would any smae sized liquid sample. That leeaves you with a 1-2 inch sealed glass pipe. Use a wire frame clip and fix the sample in place with glue and wound silver. It would saty liquid a very long time.

This just seems like a bad bad idea lol - why would one need snake venom?
