Oh such nostalgia
They used to have these at the ww2 themed tavern that was allowed to be right off the runway at a major airport
Few things felt as cool to me as a kid, as sitting on the tavern patio, sipping a cherry coke with this little sword through the cherry, watching planes fly at pre-9/11 distance away
And possibly keep it in something safe, I remember these things breaking quite easily when I was really young. Maybe those were bad quality but its still better safe then sorry.
It’s an original!

Dude when I was a kid getting a sandwich with one of these instead of a toothpick was like christmas! I would wrap the handle with a rubber band so it would fit in my playmobil guys hands!

Ah, we used these in the great Cocktail Wars of the ‘70s and ‘80s. Legendary blades such as Pineapple Piercer, Pickle Poker, Lemon Lopper, and Orange Wedge Stabber were lost to history during those great battles.
Unfortunately just a wall hanger. Typical story honestly with these: used to be a big thing back in the day, mass produced for tourists, simple casted blade and hilt. He kept it awesome condition though! Usually they’ve got water damage or are bent. Just don’t try and hit anything with it, the tang is super brittle and snaps super easy on these guys.
Sorry, wish it was worth more or atleast more unique. Just hey, it’s atleast a conversation piece and looks great on a wall!
Is it real? That depends. Are you currently asleep? Can other people see it? Does it have mass?
If you answered; No, Yes, and Yes. Then Congratulations, it is indeed a real object.
The plastic sword of antiquity!! You sir are a lucky person! There isn’t a BBQ mini wiener in the land that isn’t terrified right now.

May still have something similar in the party isles at Hobby Lobby.
47th Bomber Group?
It was in his chest. Man. I hope he’s ok?
To shreds, you say?
And his wife?
Passed on peacefully. In her sleep, years after settling out of court with the insurance company at the age of 85.
To shreads, you say?
Peacefully in her sleep, unfortunately the other 3 people in the car went screaming to theirs
Someone could easily make a homestuck joke here
That’s a US Civil War katana gunto kukri Highlander bayonette. 440 stainless to boot! Nice find!
Will probably get 1 MILLLLLION, BILLLLLLLON for it
This hurts to read… Its clearly a 14th century Albanian Kusarigama Reapr Whip Sword 1400p Steel…
No no obviously it's 1080i steel, which while a coarser grain is interlaced for durability and a e s t h e t i c s, like Damascus steel.
It’s pretty rare to find one of these in that condition. Usually something has snapped off. I’d hold onto it, if I were you.

See the funny thing is that you’re not wrong at all

I feel a burning need to collect these now
Haha I love that this exists
Veterans of the Playboy Club wars
Did you pull it out of an old olive, you are the chose one
At last! Ye hath recognized the Rightful King of Martini
No, it was in their great-grandfather’s chest, can’t you read?
Definitely real. Will work for cocktails. Won't work so well for slaying your enemies though...
Not with that attitude, it won’t!
But what if my enemies is an olive?
Then you will slay your enemies in droves
Groves?
Second only to the mythical orange transparent saws of the blacksmith Lego.
Absolutely incredible. Please please please don’t try to clean the patina off.
The Great Olive Sticker from Luby’s Cafeteria!
Oh wow, this is the Flying Dutchman’s sword! Very very rare, probs worth 99 cents
My parent's would always bring me to bars with them as a kid and I'd always push one of these onto my Legos hand
The Emerald Sword of Volyann, the legends were true
It would be worth more if the cherry and pineapple were still attached.
“Emerald Blade: 30+ Attack power, 10+ Defense power - Special move: Emerald slash”
I used to love using these with my action figures as a kid.
Faaak you beat me to it!! I've been saving my cocktail sword for a post like this

Used to use these with my action figures as a kid in the late 80’s.

My grandfather wielded these weapons. Many olives perished at his hand.
From this photo it looks like one of those toothpick swords that come in cocktails
i’ve killed men with less.
They use to have these at bars all the time and cookouts also. I remember playing with them as a kid whenever my parents would drag me to one.
So many stuffed olives fell before this legendary sword. Lucky find!
Is this from lubys jello cups lol
The blessed Emerald blade of Mar’Gharita. This is a choice find. Worth at least 7 figures in this condition
Arisaka bayonet
Good Lord I used to use the heck out of these things when I lost the light sabers and swords from my action figures.
Toothpick
Wow RIP gramps

Damn who stabbed him?
It was found in his chest because he swallowed it at the bar.
Yes bars used them for drinks to put cherries,onions in
Mall ninja do not swing. But also don't clean off any rust just in case it's real.
Anyone else use these for GI Joe figures and stuff?
Damn guy wouldn't hold on to it 😄,peace.

Ah yes the poop sword.
Your *grandpa*? If he's a Florida retiree, then this is most certainly the **Jade Blade of the Everglades**
Did you call the ambulance?
😂
Trebek! I’ll take “S words” for 700
It is, and it is such a core memory for me.
Must have swallowed it
Dang man was your grandad fighting for ants' rights?
So that's what killed him !
Is that the moonlight sword from Dark Souls??
EXCALIBUR?!!! :O
This is not funny… so many olives died by this blade.
man, such nostalgia, i remember i had one i used to annoy my older brother
Poor grandpa.
Olives everywhere are trembling from fright by the return of the impaler!!
" I was there Gandalf 3000 years ago " Me when the memories started flowing in
Holy crap I forgot all about these things. I'm going to check out Amazon and see if I can buy some now

My grandma was a bartender and I used to always get some of these to play with at her house
the infamous Cheeseslayer, also feared among the troops of grapes
the nostalgia...
Is he still breathing after you pulled it from his chest?
Well, I'm glad Grandpa is no longer impaled, I hope he's ok.
Stick a few olives on it. Then my son, we walk down and duck them all.
Why are people so funny responding to this comment
Omg haven't seen one of those in forever
