Branch Holder Turns Dead Sticks Into Awesome Swords

Opinion on Naama Agassi?s Branch Holder could go one of two ways. You could dismiss it, clucking like an exasperated aunt, calling it useless. Who needs a gadget to hold a branch after all?

Or you might take one look and wish that Agassi had made this 30-something years ago, when you were a kid (if you?re as old as me, that is). The Branch Holder is a rubber strip with two holes. You thread it onto a suitably straight stick and that stick instantly ? and magically ? becomes a sword, turning an otherwise average kid into a swashbuckling pirate, a samurai warrior or even (gasp) a ninja.

It also offers a measure of protection to the knuckles of dueling children, meaning one less scrape to clean up after a scrap. Sadly, Agassi?s invention is a concept design only, but that shouldn?t stop you. After all, anyone with enough imagination to believe a stick can be a sword has enough imagination to raid the kitchen and chop up some Tupperware.
