This cane got a bad rap previously but I couldn't believe the quality of this cane when it arrived.

I bought this because I thought it would be a nice addition to my collection. It looks good in the picture, but in person there are some minor flaws in the handle. There is some rattle when lifting the cane, but it is quiet when planted on the ground. The blade is dull, but I can easily fix that. The whole thing is study, and I don't think there's any concern of this cane failing while in use. Over all, for the price, worth what I paid, and even with the couple of flaws it still looks good.

This cane is a very good value for the price. However, it is much too long for most people. It can easily be cut to size with a hack size.

So I ordered 2 of these inexpensive "Gent Sword Canes" in Gold & Black, one for my disbaled friend and just in case I liked it one for me. I am really surprised at the sturdy construction and the over all beauty of these canes in person. I dont think for the price you can go wrong here. The canes are sturdy and there isnt any discernable rattle when you walk with them to indicate they are anything other than a cane. If you know your weapons its not hard to spot what they are but to the average person or creep they could be one heck of a surprise if your threatened. I do believe for the money you cant go wrong with this cane.
