THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I have been making these for a little over a year and have sold them to my partners. I figured that I would see if anyone here was interested in one too. These are made from Cocobolo which is one of the hardest natural woods that you can find and are between 17 and 22 inches long. The shorter ones are balances so that you can twirl them on the leather strap (there is a swivel attached) and the longer ones have a leather strap riviting them to the baton. I have carried mine for almost two years and used it a handfull of time. It works very well, much better than the ASP I used to use. In addition to its intended use these are great conversation pieces as not many police officers use them anymore. The price is $75 plus shipping (in a 2X2X24 inch tube that weighs 2 lbs or less) for each one, which is way cheaper than any other similar cocobolo batons I have seen online.

All of these have been made for other customers. I have blanks that are ready to go and make to your specifications. Take a look!

I donated this one to a charity auction for a Deputy who created an education charity in the name of his son who was killed by an IED in Iraq.
