Hey guys!

I am on holiday on the East side of Taiwan and have been stopping around various shops on the hunt for cool and unique locks.

Yesterday I came across this beast that was sitting on the shelf not even officially for sale. I chatted with the owner for a bit before asking to buy it and he obliged! I have no idea what decade this thing is from.

This thing weighs around 2 pounds/1 kg and has a "starfish" style keyway! 3 pins in each arm gives this guy 15 pins!

There is no way I can see this thing being by passed and looks like you would need to bring some real fury to cut/destroy it.

The metal knob in the center is spring loaded and flys up when the cylinder turns!

This thing is awesome~ so solid and sturdy and works perfectly!

Will post more cool locks I find!!

Took a while for me to stop over setting everything, but I finally got her picked!!

I just have to be careful because that super heavy shackle really flys open at high speed!
