My son watched and made me one. You have turned him into a Knot Enthusiast! He played around with your key ring end and made a second one! He made a loop at the end that was big enough to fit loosely around your wrist. I keep it in my purse for protection. This way I don't damage my ignition switch with it on my key chain! Of course we couldn't resist trying it out! We BOTH had bumps and bruises on our arms that took 4-6 days to go away!

As kids we used to make similar things to that , to use as fishing weights on hand lines. Never thought of wrapping them around someones head though. Different times I suppose. Great work.
I don't have the patience to make such a beautiful "key chain" so I just used double layered dress socks (one inside the other)from "The Dollar Store". It seems to work just fine. So now I got concealed carry with "key chain" for backup. It's nice to have choices and not always be forced to "go to guns" with every situation!
I don't know when I happened across the celtic slammer design, but I've been obsessed with it for a few years and only recently has the confidence and tools to try my hand at it. Your rendition was the first successful attempt I undertook.
But the three pass design didn't really hold the ball bearing all that tightly on my attempt. So I hybridized your design with what was put out by The Weavers of Eternity Paracord. It's because of you two guys I learned the diamond knot and the celtic button knot.
Thumb up for the very clever weaving and knots! I am less enthusiastic about the efficacy of the finished product as a self defense tool. Spinning weapons typically require a great deal of practice to be effective.
Great tute bro. I'm stoked I found your Channel. Subbed you and faved.
Thanks for taking the time.
A nicely made and designed project.
Must give it a whirl.
Cheers, Mal
I didn't have any one inch bearings laying around so I cut a chunk of two by two pine an inch and a half long, so basically it was a cube, I used my router with a chamfer bit and put forty-five degree angles on all corners and made my own pretty circular smasher. I figure it'll be a lot safer to train with too. I also didn't have any proper rope, just some thin braided nylon line I use for string levels and plumb bobs. It was terrible to work with and my first attempt was a total fail. I wound up using a wood rasp to make a groove all around my wooden " ball" and the thin line nests in it quite nicely. This was such a cool little homemade, handmade project I'll definitely make more. Liked and subbed, looking forward to more awesomeness on this channel!
Once again, great tutorial that is very easy to follow for a great result. I just finished my second one. This time I used yellow and orange paracord and a bright orange golf ball, its what my buddy had laying around, and it came out perfect. It's a funny story how this happened. So I knew my buddies kid had just received a dozen orange golf balls for his birthday a week ago but I didn't have any paracord then so I didn't give it a second thought. Then a few days later I just happen to notice some orange and yellow cord in this box of computer cords and a.v. cables, I pulled it out and dontchaknow it was a length of about thirty feet of paracord all tangled up with other cords in this box of random electronics cables. I asked my buddies kid if it was his and he had no idea whose it was, I even had to explain to him what paracord is. Once I untangled it I instantly knew what I'd be making with it. I'm giving it to my buddies teenage son because the orange golf balls were his and it was like pulling teeth to get one from him. I really am just happy with how it came out and its nice to get more practice tying cool knots. I hope the little bugger likes it and maybe his buddies will want one and they all can learn to tie some knots. Who know it might save their lives some day. They knot tying I mean but the Celtic Slammer might too!
This is a thing of beauty. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the interesting tutorial. And thanks for having nice clean hands and nails, too. Don't listen to the trolls.
Awesome project ... I’ll be saving this vid so I can watch a thousand times! Thanks for sharing !
Tommy Ryan my pleasure. Enjoy!
Very cool, I'll be pausing your video every 15 seconds for the next 6 months.
Jeffrey A. Pelzer ha ha😂😂
Jeffrey A. Pelzer did you finish?
I would put that on a 6 7 foot slack so it would be used 2 handed but you could also use a ball bearing with a spike n use it to throw and to be retracted and caught very decent cuz at any point your hands r still free just dont tug practice tugging back with out impailing ones self
@Max Paine Ever been on the receiving end of 2 feet of chain? This is very similar to that and much more portable. Think of ladies who need self protection. To use a Kubotan requires that you get in close and personal (like a knife). I am training in classic Bujutsu (16 years so far) and know how to use a Kubotan, I’d take the ball bearing any day, just as I’d take a baton over a knife.
Ehehehehehehhehehehehehahahahhahahsbhahahahahhehehehehhahahahahehehehhahahhahshehehehehahahhahehehhe
Very neat tutorial. I am definitely making some of these puppies.
Superb tutorial. I’ll be using this. But I’d like a thick weave coming from the ball, like a cobra weave and curl it round through the weave to form a loop for the handle. 👍🇬🇧
A new suscriber here!🙋♀️🙏thank u for sharing gentleman blessings!👍🏻
Cool video, I have some civil war grape shot I found metal detecting that I might try to make one of these with.
Great video. Just subscribed. Wish you success and Godspeed.
Good tutorial : thank you for sharing! Most appreciated!
One thing I believe people need to be aware of if these are used for keychains. Be sure your car key is removable via some type of release. Hanging this much weight from a car's ignition can cause significant damage to the ignition unit, leading to failure.
rgivey2 very good point!!! I myself clip my slammers to a separate carabiner!! 🎩👊🏻🎩
For this reason, I keep only my truck key, gas cap key and remote on one ring in my pocket. I keep all other keys on a separate ring on my belt.
Me too! I've had 3 ignition switch failures on on Trailblazer EXT! At over $300 for the part plus labor if you don't do it yourself, it was an expensive lesson about being aware of the weight of the key-gob you carry with your ignition switch key!
so did you remember after replacing it 3rd time?
Only chevy owners have to worry about that.
Cool. Chapman Book of Knots or Arts of the Sailor are great reference books. Also called "Monkeys Fist" or a "Heaving line, used to "heave" or throw a line from one ship to another or a finger,dock.
Well done. I can actually see what you doing. Have couple “ boulder “ marbles about the size of your bearing that are near 100 years old. Think I’ll try with one of those.
Nice job. I'm 62 years old women just retired, even I can follow your tutorial. Thanks.
Are you sure you're not a woman?
Very cool! Requires a lot of patience
Thx for posting - BTW , back in Lincolns day , this would have been referred to as a " slung - shot " . Check out Lincolns Almanac defense of Duff Armstrong .
Badass ! Keep rockin in the free world
Well done! Thank you!
Interesting tie, but I believe the chromed ball needs another round because it needs to be covered more than you have it. One good swift whack with that and the ball will come out. Another round will keep it more secure because that last round of para-cord will not stretch so much upon using the tool, that it would allow the ball to escape. A person must look at the Para-cord's elasticity as opposed to slick finish on the ball.
Near the end of wrapping the ball, you could introduce an extra length of paracord so you end up with 4 ends and do a thick weave coming away from the ball and into a loop?
Joshua, you describe your movements very nicely. It would help immensely if your background color were brighter and contrast your cord colors (maybe it’s just my old eyes).
great tool, great video....
Ooh, I like that. Def gonna make one of those.😀
You have to be the master of knots.
Te felicito muy buenos tus proyectos me suscribo
Very Cool Bro!
Looks great!
hi did you take out the inner threads of the paracord? how long does the paracord have to be? what length does it have to be before I start knotting
Excelente video y tu forma mostrarlo y explicarlo. Te felicito😅
Great video. Thank you for pronouncing Celtic properly.
borisbash how would you not pronounce it correctly
Just listen to an American talk. The way they disrespect the origin of their language is very sad: bouy, Notre Dame, semi, Celtic, Z etc.
@@borisbash Brits tend to butcher foreign and historical words too, modern pronunciation of many of them is actually abysmal (and makes little sense). But it is true that Americans are just in another dimension, especially with their inability to pronounce their own surnames being children or grandchildren of immigrants lol
@@Sk0lzky What words have they butchered? The UK has embraced words from other languages as they were invaded by countries from europe and settled in the UK.
Really great but, what kind of paracord do you use?
Really cool who would leave a dislike
Ive seen this made with golf balls & pool balls as well
Do you have one that also uses a metal bead?
Very, very nice. Than you.
Your very welcome
very cool ,, how long did it take you to learn that ?
can you make a video of a bane cuff in a mad max style
Ordering one now 😛
In florida it's known as a "Slung Shot" and it's illegal to carry
Has UK regained control over the state or something? :v
I love the use of the different knots, you started with 30ft. of cord what was the total amount you used for this. And thanks for the great video
I actually made this video up as I went. It only takes about 10' of cord for a 1' long slammer. Thanks for watching
thanks
I only had to use 10 too with a half foot extra to make sure I didn’t waste Paracord
That is an awesome self defense weapon keychain.
You said you've made over a hundred of those? How much do you usually sell them for? Are they very expensive or not too bad
I was really hoping that you would show how to use it, at the end. I've never heard of one before. I'd like to make one, just don't know how to use it or for what. :)
This is meant to be a last resort self defense weapon. I hope and pray no one ever has to actually use it. The slammer can be carried on the way to your car in a dark area. If someone comes at you, simply swing and aim the bearing for their face!!! While hiking a wild animal comes at you. Pull the slammer out and WHACK!!
Thank you! :)
Ronald Johnson i ca tell you i haw and it works great in glose combat A billiard 8 Ball in sox .in bar fight..🤤🤤🤤😱
One of Abrahams Lincolns best known defense cases , the Almanac defense involved a murder with a wagon hammer and a slung shot - this is a slung shot.
awesome video
Thank you
do you need to take more into account than just the length of the cord when scaling it up to a bigger ball?
burningflurber I have found that after making a ton of these Celtic slammers I only need 7.5' of 550 to do the job! If you are wrapping a larger object, I would most definitely recommend you use more cord!!!!!
*****
cheers!
+Joshua Raines (Opossum's Paracord) please make me one if you will please message me with cost and I will send mailbox
Very good tutorial, I'll give it a try :)
John Lidström thank you!
How does this compare to keychain weapons like Kubotans? How is it to be used?
So I've come back to this design once again, because I love it too much to stop.
I still can't make the 3-pass design work, because the 1" ball just sits too loose inside of it, no matter how much you try to tighten it up. 4 passes seems to be minimum for holding it right if it ever gets used.
It is a sluncgshot. illegal in most states, sometimes a felony.. my dailh cary version is short. the keys and pocket knife re thd working end. Its easy to open and lock, then drop the working end when pulled out . no huge lead slug give away. but no pyoblesm in "suit pants" either.
.
Wow you can sell those , id buy one or two
never seen somebody start this kind of knot that way!
Thank you
I like it
Espectacular
If you love to pummel people with this "Slammer" @ 7:34 -ish, is where you can REALLY put your heart into it. Ha-Ha!
I’ll save you guys 24 minutes if you want a “self defense” keychain tie a master lock to one end and a key ring on the other.
hahahhahahahahaha
Yah but this is way cooler
Padlocks inside tubesocks!
Dog chains and padlocks
or use a big nut like an M30 or whatever that is in inch its even cheaper
4k likes??? hell yea brother
Diesel Baits pretty cool huh!!
KEEP WATCHIG
In ancient times they would have used sinew which would have softened in hot water but contracted and tightened when dried in the sun.
Very cool. Please! A paracord assault rifle. ;-)

Nice!
Btw you've got very pretty hands, with perfect nails.
J Prsns thanks so much
This should be titled how to make a wonky monkey fist the hardest way possible
Is this different than a turks head knot?
mad skills
Мне было лет 13 мы плели похожее но не настолько красивое !! Обязательно с младшим сыном сплету. Спасибо.
Thanks. I bought a yawara, but the movements irritated my shoulder, which I injured from knitting. A baseball bat won't fit in my purse, so I put the y. in a sock...that I had knitted, lol.
Equate Bond round of applause
Can you keep doing it until the ball is 100% encased, so it's not seen?
jessica kerns it can be done
@1:55 What knot is that? The bottom part looks like a Carrick Bend.
Jack Reacher I believe it’s a 3L x 5B Turks head. It does look a lot like the old Carrick bend though.
Is it just me, or does this guy sound a lot like Wreck-It-Ralph?
Great video btw!
John C. Riley!
Get yourself a medal from Hero's Duty!
Does the bearing have any bearing on the outcome
Cliff Langevin knot really
Nice pun
Much more elegant than a classical monkey fist but I prefer the ball to be entrirely hidden. There remark about the car keychain weight is important. As a self defense tool, the speed of the movement gives more energy than the weight of the ball (v squared vs m), so I use a non metallic ball
I'm not confidant it wouldn't cast the ball on impact.. Is there space for another pass? Also try a steel Orin's on each side under the cord, this would cause a lip and a more positive lock. Nice looking "key chain" though👍
Unless your protecting yourself from a tree or concrete, I don't see the bearing slipping out. I stress that a marlin spike should be used to really stretch and tighten the cord. 5 passes of tightening at the least. Once done, the bearing can't even be rotated. A few blows to someone's jaw shouldn't be enough to make the bearing fail. But, I haven't hit many people in the jaw with this. It is a last measure kind of thing. Thanks for watching.
But indeed there are room for more passes. You could keep following the pattern and completely in compass the bearing
Thanks, some good information.
+Scott Birse Your welcome
You couldnt do ANY damage without a temple or nose-bridge strike. How about a .45ACP with a laser.
How long is that paracord?
i got a 6oz cannon ball lead weight in a dog leed i made ..
just in case
its that time of the year
you know what its like when they get hungry
Looks pretty darn easy.... Knot!!
Forgive my lack of knowledge on this, what exactly is the purpose of these key chains?
Joe Reid my guess is that it can be used to hit people in the faces. But I don't know.
Cool!
is anybody else here because the want to make Marcus' melee weapon in watchdogs 2
Yes, but that requires drilling through a billiard ball and running an eye bolt through it.
Should have wrapped the ball in more layers. Will pop out what you hit something with it.
Check your states law having one of these is a felony in several.
W1ldt1m its only a key ring , once you put a key on it.
@@mikemacgregor5650
Look it up several states have very specific laws against this device. Keys or not.
This is a good item to have for people in places like the UK because the police will arrest you for having so much as a pepper spray or spoon but will be to stupid to know this key chain could put someone in the hospital.
Do the bearing and split ring need to be the same size?
They do knot have to be the same as my tutorial!! Run with the idea and have fun
+Joshua Raines
i don't mean the same size as your tutorial. both your bearing and ring are the same. do they have to be or not? I haven't even watched it yet. Just getting things together beforehand.
+David “Davey” Harper no
Thank you!
+Joshua Raines (Opossum's Paracord) can you name me one and how much would if coat thank you
Muito bom!!! Genial! Lindo!
Joshua; were you a Navy Boatswain's Mate at one time? Just curious seeing that you do a Monkey's Fist in this manner, and you know the other use for this particular item. One, it was for throwing a line off the ship to the dock; and the other was for self-defense! I was in the Navy and used to marvel at the skill these Boatswain's had in tying knots, etc. I could never excel at doing that although I'm now a newbie in paracording!
David O'D Why thank you! Never had the pleasure of serving my country. Different life choices. I on the other hand am a Boy Scout/ Fisherman/ Knot Enthusiast! Paracord is a very pleasing hobby!! And I appreciate your service!!
Nice reply; thank you. I always admired and envied those who can tie various knots. I never could 'get it', and now that I'm in my 75th year of life (I've had some very bad times; but those are all behind) and now, for the past 26+ years I've been blessed abundantly with family, plenty of leisure time since I retired in the Fall of 1995. I have one Daughter (a Nurse), and two Granddaughters (18 & 12) and they all live with me! A great life I'd say! Take care and I'm truly attempting to do the paracording! Oh I almost forgot. I have four great Nephews (all under 12!), and the 12 year old is a serious contender for becoming an Eagle Scout someday! I'm now about to begin on making each of the four a Survival Bracelet. They're at the perfect age (except maybe for the two year old) for thinking that the best gift ever! Be well and bless you. >
David O'D truly a wonderful story! I wish you all of the best!!! Bless you my friend!!
David J. Rose
Always felt like the fist had a more secure grip on a round object compared to the Turks head. Just wouldn't trust it on a heaving line. Especially with a steel weight inside. Just imagine "heads up on deck, heads up on pier" and chucking a unsecured steel object at people. Bad times to follow.
David O'D Yeah...I grew up in Norfolk..
The Sailors I talked to rolled 3 or 4 silver dollars in their neckerchief. The flap on their crackerjacks hid the tape they used to keep the coins in place.
Good times when the 7th fleet came in!!!😜
Cool
How large is that metal ball size?
John Chan 1 inch chrome bearing
thank you. But it seen more large than 1 inch after you finish work. XD
So all Key Chain with Celtic Slammer in your Internet store all use 1 inch chrome bearing ?
John Chan that is correct! If you want something different just contact us on the website!
where can you find the steel balls from?
Ron Poddig I get mine from a company that works on excavators they come out of the treads.
Amazon
Great gifts For christmas , not A good gift for the bad guy jajajajaja
Its called Keysten in Russian. (Кистень)
bet u this is what inspired ubisoft for marcus's weapon in watch dogs 2
I'm gonna have to look into that !!!
+P. T. Oh I'm sure lol.
Well.... that ain't confusing lol
I wish someone would hit me with this I find my hands and shins to be very effective self defense tools.
