ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose tool having the external configuration of a flyswatter when in its assembled condition. The tool has a generally planar blade with an approximately rectangular shape and which is generally devoid of perforations. A single aperture near one edge of the blade is adapted for receiving a mechanical fastener. The blade is formed of a leathery material having sufficient stiffness as to be essentially self-supporting. A rigid handle, preferably of a hard wood such as oak, has a length about three times as long as the length of the blade; and one end of the handle has a longitudinal slot of sufficient thickness to snugly receive the blade. A transverse bore extends through the handle at a location to coincide with the blade aperture when the blade is inserted fully into the slot. A mechanical fastener is inserted into the handle's bore so as to removably attach the blade to the handle. A leather thong is inserted through an aperture in the second end of the handle. The thong is preferably about two feet long, so that the combination of the thong and the handle can function as a tourniquet.
