Mini Switchblade Necklace

Need a little touch of bad-ass in your jewelry box? Well, first get rid of the jewelry box. You’re a man! Once you’ve done that, grab one of these Mini Switchblade Necklace items. You can see from the pic that it folds up or pops out with the push of a button.

From there, it locks in to place and gives you a sturdy three-quarter-inch blade that works in most any situation (except a knife fight). In all seriousness, this would come in quite handy if you’ve got a lot of boxes to move or need a nail file on the go (without being seen as the kind of guy that carries a nail file, of course).

HAF Grass Knuckles

What possible good could come from wearing a set of HAF Grass Knuckles from Hafsteinn Juliusson? After all, if you were to adorn their brass counterparts, a heap of trouble would be waiting on you at school, work, or wherever you got caught, right? Well, these knucks aren’t so threatening, so only think happy thoughts.

The HAF Grass Knuckles are meant as a wearable, not anything you would want to do damage with, unless we’re talking grass stains, of course. Hafsteinn Juliusson is not content to leave it at that either. You can also get an assortment of rings and other jewelry that bring the garden to your hands and fingers. Finally, a piece of jewelry for the bad-a gardener in us all.

Mathmatiks Turntable Ring

Ever bought something that was so expensive, so completely unnecessary, that you had to fight through the buyers remorse just to lay down your money? The Mathmatiks Turntable Ring is one of those items. It gets its name from the little mini turntable that flattops a band that’s made of 18 karat yellow gold. Don’t go off looking for any Tom Jones records to play on this monster, though, kids.

Something tells us that the major labels never put out any playable LPs in this exact size. But even though it can’t play a note, it’ll certainly sing on your finger and be the envy of every music lover that you know.And that’s really what it’s all about, isn’t it?

Gotham City Ring

If you really want to give criminals a bad day, just slide this mother on and go around punching them with it. Actually, no, we don’t recommend that at all. You could either: a) Kill someone, or b) end up on the end of a very real gun, which could do significantly more damage than this Gotham City Ring comprised mainly of gunmetal brass.

The glittering lights of Gotham City are represented by cubic zirconia accents that are quite striking against the fitting darkness of the metal. If you look at the ring real close, you may even see ol’ Bats himself swinging from building to building. Not quite as good of a geek item as the actual Batmobile that we featured on here once before, but it’ll do. You got nOir Jewelry to thank for this one!

Nut Dice Ring

Most men won’t wear just any jewelry. It has to have some sort of gadgetry to it, much like the Ring Clock. Individual Icons seems to understand the concept of functional jewelry, with creations ranging from compass pendants, ruler bracelets and thermometer earrings, to the Nut Dice Ring.

The Nut Dice Ring is exactly what it sounds like: a ring shaped like a hardware nut, with pips (patterns of round dots found on dice) carved into it. Each pair of opposing sides add up to seven. But the fun part is using it to make tough decisions easier. Do you stay home tonight, or do you go out? Odds you stay, evens you go.

The ring is made from sterling silver and comfort fit inside. Available in standard sizes 6 through 10.

Ring Clock

And here we thought the Kinekt Gear Ring was the ultimate piece of geek jewelry.

CGSociety user, Cyber recently designed a ring clock, a mechanical ring made from stainless steel that displays the time. It has three rings that rotate separately, displaying the hour, minutes and seconds. An indicator ensures that you put the ring on properly, and the current time is highlighted.

Not only is this little gadget functional, but it’s also quite stylish. Now we plead, someone hurry, buy this idea and put it into production.

Armadillo: 161 Bracelet

The Armadillo: 161 Bracelet from Rogue may be the only bracelet that looks manly enough to wear. More than 400 machine hours are put in to crafting each of these pieces, which means it is so complicated that it even has machinery saying swear words and pulling hair out.

Featuring 161 pieces, hence the name, the action on this baby is sweet and allows you to easily remove links to adjust for size if need be, which kind of makes this one-size-fits-all, though we much prefer to think of it as one-size-fits-guy with $35,000 to burn.

But hell, if you got it, burn it. This is a work of art, and one that screams bad-ass in every way. Limited to only 50 pieces, you may not have the easiest time getting one even if you do have the money for it, but good luck. A perfect accessory to the Ralph Lauren Purple Label Skull Cufflinks that you’re not getting.

Survival Straps

Combine the ever-craftiness of MacGyver with the brute ruggedness of Rambo and what d’ya get? The target demographic (we speculate) for “Survival Straps”.

Or perhaps they actually offer more everyday practicality? Decide for yourself.

Survival Straps are hand-made of military-spec paracord (paracord: Think ‘parachute’ and/or ‘paratrooper’ and, well, you get the idea) material and come in too-many-to-count color combos. They’re also offered in several styles, including: Survival Bracelet, Survival Belt (with military-grade buckle and “double-D” rings for more flexibility in tightening/loosing than with conventional belt loops), and Survival key fobs and lanyards.

And, according to the manufacturer, if you break it (i.e. have one of those ‘MacGyver moments’) they’ll replace it less shipping costs, given your hand-written/typed version of the events that transpired and photographic evidence of said MacGyver moment.

iCufflinks

It’s safe to say that if you toss an “i” in front of a word, there’s going to be a tech-oriented connotation – more specifically, an Apple connotation. That philosophy definitely holds true with Adafruit Industries’ new iCufflinks.

Fashioned out of Air-grade aluminum and modeled after a Mac’s power button, these silver-toned cufflinks pulsate like a sleeping MacBook’s LED for up to 24 hours. Each cufflink has a built-in circuit board and LED inside and, since they come from a company known for selling open source computer components, all the hardware and software inside the iCufflinks are open source, as well. You can actually download the schematics and files from GitHub and hack your cufflinks for your own custom ”geek chic”.

A matching necklace is coming soon, so your geeky lady friend can also get in on the “Mac”-tion. Get it? Mac-tion, like act – ah, never mind.
