Oddjob's Derby
(Goldfinger)
Gadget: Oddjob's Derby
Movie: Goldfinger
Owner: Oddjob
Status: Destroyed
This formal hat, which complimented OddJob's suit, looks innocent
enough. Except it wasn't, OddJob's derby in fact was equipped
with a razor sharp solid steel brim, when thrown correctly could
cut through solid stone.
Use
At Goldfinger's golf club, Bond was getting on Auric's nerves,
he thought it polite to demonstrate OddJob's deadly talent. Goldfinger
signalled his hat, OddJob removed his derby and with one swift
flick of his arm, flung the hat at a stone statue, removing its
head. Later however whilst being hunted down outside Goldfinger's
factory in Switzerland, Tilly Masterson copped a broken neck from
OddJob's derby.
Specs
The Derby was made out of velvet-like suede leather, and concealed
inside the brim, was a circular steel plate, filed at the edges
to be sharp as a razor. The steel had to be sharpened or replace
quite often, as the hat was only effective for a few times.
