Cold Steel Heavy Duty Sword Cane

Cane is excellent quality. Haven't used the sword part but nice to know it's there. Use the cane every day. Super sturdy and comfortable. Highly recommend.

During recovery from an ankle fracture and two hip replacements, I felt vulnerable. This swordcane worked as an excellent cane and the sword is certainly a formidable defensive weapon. No rattles and the grip is firmly secured to the tang. It came pretty sharp but on my downtime I used a diamond sharpener to produce a nice slicing edge. BTW, the last 6” or so is double edged. This is a very nice tool.

Master: Zatoichi would approve of this Cane-Sword!??????????????????????????????????Highly Recommend! It would ??if Cold Steel made this in Damascus SanMai! ??

This cane is awesome. Just the right length and a little heavy but I like them like that. More sturdy. The handle is a little small but useable. The rubber tip is too slippery on some flooring surfaces like tile and other smooth surfaces. I want to change the rubber tip but it's very hard to get off for me. Other than that it's great. Sword blade is very sharp and not too heavy but sturdy. Good peace of mind for us oldsters.

If you want a sturdy cane with a little extra weight (the blade) this is great. I had to cut the sheath down because I'm short but other than being a little rattled it is great. I have two of them and carry my spare in the car.

Love this one. Combat ready. The grip survived a Staffordshire terrier that loved plastic.

The blade is very sharp and the housing is stout, I wrapped mine with a leather hand grip and attached a lanyard to the sword for my wrist. I did however replace the foot on the bottom as it is hard plastic and is tends to slip, I put one made of rubber from a crutch on it... it is a much safer cane now..... be careful when you pull it out and put it back in, do so with a twist so the O-rings do not get messed up... I let a friend look at it and he promptly destroyed one of the O-rings.... I replaced it with a silicone one and use a compatible lube on it. I own many swords this one is the sharpest right out of the box.... and well worth the money.

After reading some of the reviews for this sword cane I was anxious to receive mine. I was not disappointed - it is Cold Steel quality. Nice solid unassuming cane. Blade is razor sharp. O-rings were well lubed. Everything you would expect from this manufacturer. I weigh 220 lbs. and am able to put my full weight on the cane with no issues. The blade would slice paper. The only drawbacks - this cane is somewhat heavy - I do not think it could have the same quality and be much lighter though. The tip could be a little better but is more than I expected based on other reviews. The one thing I'd like to see added is some type of lanyard. THere is a small hole through the front edge of the handle to add your own but it would be nice to have one included.

Had this cane/sword for two years. Just put a little Vaseline on the o-rings every six months and they work perfectly. I spray mine with Break Free CLP twice a year and leave it on when I put it in the cane. Not a speck of rust anywhere. I am a disabled vet with back problems about 250 pounds and very often I put my full weight on this cane. It still looks brand new except for the tip. That is a normal wear item on any cane. I am not associated with Cold Steel in any way and received nothing from them for this review. I just want other folks to know what a great value this cane/sword represents. John Gafford

Being disabled I have owned several sword canes over the years and I will say that this Cold Steel sword cane is the best and sharpest I've ever owned. I highly recommend this to anyone in the market for one.

I've ordered several items from Cold Steel and have never been disappointed. This sword cane continues the "tradition". There is no rattle when shaking the cane and the sword is sharp and made from quality steel. The price is reasonable. Cold Steel does it again!!!

Over the years I've had a few mid priced katanas. This HDSC is the first sword that has come close to those for the quality of the blade and edge. My knees have both gone bad. No cartilage in either with bone on bone contact. Very painful. The shaft of the cane is heavy enough to support my 300# frame with stability and no worry of slippage. The blade is the same steel used in cold steels other high end blades. The polish and edge are near as perfect as any sword I have ever owned. All I can say is "wow'. Cold steel has a winner here. Some who worry of the o-rings. The mod I saw here to perform a gentle camphor to the mouth and a little silicone lube is the answer. For those concerned of dulling the blade sliding it in and out of the shaft...I found a plastic muzzle protector for my rifle. It fits very snug in the shaft. I cut an opening for the blade to slide through and placed it on the blade right next to the hilt. Next I inserted the blade in the shaft. Fits perfect, stays in place and keeps the blade from contacting the metal shaft. If you have a slight rattle sound this silents this also. Dibs on this idea if cold steel changes to this!! Cheap mod and works. If your on the fence about a sword cane, This is the one you want. Thanks True Swords and Cold Steel. Also thanks for the good reviews ahead of mine

Cold Steel & True Swords have a REAL utility cane with one of the best swords, period.25yr Abn./Spec. Ops vet w/disabilities & I refuse to be handicapped or victim. This gives me the physical support & confidence to go anywhere I need. Blade is as good or better than much pricier katanas. So good I got another. fixt o rings w lil scilicone. Best turnaround from order to delivery in business. 10 stars!!

Well worth the price! You will not be disappointed !!!!!

Sturdy to use as real cane. The blade is razor sharp, I feel quite safe while walking with cane. Some say the rubber gaskets rip or come off, I have had no problems, just keep oiled and slightly twist when pulling out or putting back in. Also as far as rattling around and loose inside, I put some material inside to keep tight. If your searching around to buy a sword cane, search no more and buy this one. As far as True Swords shipping goes it is second to none, easy to track and shows up in no more than three days. Very satisfied.

This is one of the best conceal weapons that you can buy for the money. You can use it as normal support for an injury or protect your own life and nobody will be the wiser, that it is just a cane. I have no problem with the big rubber on the bottom, it helps to conceal it as, just a cane.

Cold Steel Heavy Duty Cane Sword is everything I had hoped for .I would recommend this item to anyone.Wish the rubber tip at bottom was smaller.

Great blade. Very sharp and narrow. Truly a great cutter and thruster, as expected from Cold Steel. Your first couple attempts to open it must be forceful. I've found that by twisting the handle slightly back and forth as I pull it from the shaft, will allow an easier and less noticeable draw. <br />For sword use, I recommend two hands -using the crook handle for your base hand, due to the handle being rounded. With such a rounded handle, you'll have better control and accountability of your edge by doing so. <br />As a cane, it's a bit heavy. But, it offers excellent traction and support. Its handle doesn't come off like the other Cold Steel sword canes. However, the handle and shaft of this sword cane are durable enough to withstand and administer great punishment.<br />Altogether, an excellent sword, cane and defensive alternative. <br /><br />Thanks True Swords! Your site, reviews, product price and expedience of shipment are resourceful, valued and excellent .

Very nice item! Anyone in need of a cane also wanting a truely<br />strong self-defense feature needs this!

Very Nice Sword Cane.<br /><br />If you just needed a cane this would work perfect, it's sturdy and really is HEAVY DUTY. The blade is outstanding, sharp, durable and very thick not like some of the cheaper sword canes you find. I imagine I will get years of use out of this Cold Steel sword cane. My only complaint would be that the sword rattles a tiny bit when walking, and I'm a little concerned about the suction locking system. I just wonder after years of use if this will losen up and fell to work. Overall this is an excellent buy and TRUESWORDS.COM got it to me fast and no problems.

The product was much heavier than I'd anticipated. I actually walk with two canes, and bought two of these to use when I know I'll be out late. Really, I should've just bought one, but I'll keep the 2nd as a "spare." The cane does offer incredible support, although the hard rubber tip does have the potential to slip on slick or wet surfaces. Ideally, it should be a replaceable tip, not permanent. The heavy shaft would make a formidable weapon all on its own. My plan is to get a functional cane of the same size, either black or I'll paint it black to match, and use both to walk with. Editor's Note: Thank you for your comments.
