Yes I have. It's called a sword cane. I happen to have some knee damage, and if I play up my limp a bit, no one even looks twice at my cane.

You get it from Cold Steel?

I did, something like 15 years back.

It's okay quality, but I did have to fix the rattle of the sheath. Just ripped one of the faces off a piece of cardboard, and then rolled it up and shoved it in the sheath. Now the cane doesn't rattle at all when you shake it, but it still draws smoothly.

Honestly, any of my solid canes would make a great weapon, but people never realize it, so the sword cane is mostly for the intimidation option.

Almost anyone can recognize a sword as a weapon, even if I could ruin your day just as much with a wooden hook cane.

To be fair, the difference between a hook cane and sword cane is one can cause bruising up to a concussion, with a low chance of broken bones. While the other creates a sequel to Highlander. So your day might be ruined by one; the other makes sure there is only one.

What sort of permit is needed for a sword cane?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

none, if nobody knows the sword is in there!
