Hone your deadly fighting skills as you take important notes or simply pass the time at work. Just be careful that you don't cause any real harm to yourself or your coworkers. Essentially, the BicChucks by PrintTo3D converts two of your [typical Bic pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-gelocity-gel-pens) into mini nunchucks (or Nunchaku, as the Japanese call them). The pen cap becomes the Jukon-bu (the top part of the nunchuck) and the kusari (chain), while the pen itself becomes the Kikon-bu (handle). Since these are [custom caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pen-creator-studio), only a limited number of them were made. Fun and silly, the BicChucks by PrintTo3D will surely amuse anyone, kid or adult. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Desk Toy Weapons:** Opportunity for companies to create custom office toys that appeal to adult sensibilities. - **3D Printing Accessories:** Opportunity for 3D printing companies to expand their product lines with novel accessories that appeal to specific niche markets. - **Novelty Office Supplies:** Opportunity for office supply companies to create unique and memorable products that help stand out in a crowded market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Toy and Game Industry:** Opportunity for toy and game companies to create miniature weapons, such as nunchucks, that entertain and engage consumers. - **3D Printing Industry:** Opportunity for 3D printing companies to create niche accessories that cater to specific communities or interests. - **Office Supply Industry:** Opportunity to differentiate from competitors and appeal to customers' sense of humor and fun with unique and quirky products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tactical Tool-Packed Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tekto-tak-pen.md) - [10-in-1 Multifunctional Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multak.md) - [Dual-Functioning Mechanical Pencils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-penpass.md) - [Long-Lasting Compact Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanoink.md) - [Woven Bamboo Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-weave-pens.md) - [Miniature EDC Sword Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-katana.md) - [Dental Instrument-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handwriting-tool.md) - [Pattern-Drawing Dual-Tip Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colored-curve-pens.md) - [Magnetic Toy-Like Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetdabbles.md)
