What the hell is that?

Our range is growing constantly. However, some products will have you guessing what it is that you’re looking at. Today's example: a futuristic boomerang.
Throw this boomerang into the air and it will dash into the next galaxy at the speed of light, behead two hundred aliens and bring a fancy souvenir back to earth. Unfortunately, this isn't a boomerang, so if you throw it away, it will never come back. Is it stylish shoehorn for those who are insensitive to pain? Nope, that's also wrong. Speaking of boomerang: I'll just put it out there so it's done. Could it possibly be a sex toy? Yeah... you'd like that, wouldn't you? No, it's not.
This is just a regular, boring office accessory. What looks like a silver space weapon is in fact nothing else but a letter opener. I don't quite understand whether the design is based on a bird, a cake spatula or a knife. «The letter opener Uselen, designed by Giulio Iacchetti, is a small hummingbird made of steel. It’s sharp tail opens every letter elegantly», is what manufacturer Alessi has to say. Right, so it’s a hummingbird. But why on earth does it use its tail to open letters – don't birds have beaks for that?
From climbing ropes to red wine to hammer drills – we’ve got just about everything. In line with this, we’ve been browsing our range for unusual products that prompt a: What the hell is that?
