Description
There’s a long tradition behind the sword cane, a walking stick that doubles as a blade when the situation calls for it. This particular piece carries that legacy forward with a spring-loaded button-lock mechanism that holds the blade firmly in place until it’s needed. Unlike older friction or twist locks, this design provides a dependable hold and quick release,something a blacksmith respects for both safety and function.
The handle is carved from genuine buffalo horn, shaped to fit comfortably in the hand while bearing the distinctive markings that only natural horn can offer. Buffalo horn has been valued for centuries not just for its toughness but also for the unique grain and smooth finish it gains with use and time. The shaft is reinforced with fiberglass, finished in black, adding strength without unnecessary weight. At the base, a rubber tip steadies the cane, ensuring it serves well as a walking aid.
The blade is forged from fully tempered high carbon steel, chosen for its ability to hold a keen edge and resist warping. Measuring over 17 inches long and just under half an inch wide, it balances concealment with practical reach. Weighing just over a pound, it’s light enough to carry comfortably, yet solid enough for its intended purpose.
