Or anyone else with experience here. Looking to get a slapjack, aka sap, for novelty and/or conversational purposes.

Boston Leather seems to make a product that is well regarded and not very expensive at $24 - $44 depending on where you buy it. They make 2 ply and 4 ply versions of each model with only a one ounce difference in the Junior model I'm looking at - 9.5 oz vs. 10.5

They also make something called a "Denver" sap which has a straight handle and looks more like a lollipop and make them with straps along the shank or loops at the end of the shank. I'm thinking the one with a flair in the handle and a strap across the back of the hand would be better to retain. Also, any real difference that matters between a 2 ply vs. 4 ply? I'm thinking the 4 ply would just be thicker.

So - is this a good brand and are there any other good or better brands out there? And any thoughts on which is best for retention?

The Lineup

The one I'm looking at, their Model 5411, 8 1/4" and 9.5 oz.
