I have the real thing for sale, just sold it actually. Works just fine, and would fit a slinder man if tightened

Aaron, Felix really isn't a man so much as a hipster doufus. Don't let him fool you, he's only 18. ;)

Not to be a butt about it... But google can be a simple fountain of knowledge. It is much better to learn to fish than for others to hand a fish too you.
