Cane talks. Wobbles below the release. Not well made. Better
off buying cheap stainless steel. Very disappointed.

Poor Quality, Not as Advertised
The blade is Damascus, but other than that, this is a cheap child's toy. The "wooden" scabbard is cheap, thin plastic. The blade is extremely loose in the hilt. The latch doesn't catch most of the time. The leatherwork & finish on the pommel are extremely poor. The pommel is not heavy cast at all. Between the weak, plastic (not wooden, as advertised) shaft & the narrow, hard plastic, non-grip tip, this cane will not support enough weight to be usable as a cane at all. I don't know what the other reviewers received, but it definitely wasn't the same cane that I did. I will definitely be returning this one.

Great sword, but...
Just got the cane via UPS today. Elegant and well made sword, beautiful to look at. Good size, vey sharp, appears to be an effective weapon. One problem: the sword rattles in the sheath. Kind of defeats the purpose of a sword cane. I hope to figure out a solution so that the cane becomes stealthy again.

Actual Damascus
For once there is an affordable sword that has real damascus. Some would be skeptical about the authenticity due to the patterns being very light but in reality this is what makes the blade real damascus. The blades with darker etchings are usually acid etched and wouldn't be considered real damascus to most of the high end collectors. This on the other hand has a very light very smooth design, assuring that this is the real thing. Very well made and sturdy. One of the better swords out there, and it even comes in a form that is both stylish and concealable for self defense. Huge bonus and great buy.

top of the line
I own several sword canes, this one is by far the best! I like it even more than I do the Kit Rae. These are beautiful and extremely well made. Mine is a perfect 'fit' of the sword in the cane - not so tight that it's hard to draw, not so loose that in slips or rattles. The blade is strong, sharp, and just flexible enough that it has a little spring, like the best rapiers. I've tested the sword on a wood target I use for knife and axe throwing and I can see how deadly it could be. The only reason I can think the other reviewer doubts the blade is Damascus is that the pattern in the blade, that shows where the steel is repeatedly folded, is very subtle. The head is beautifully crafted and heavy enough that the cane would be effective even as a club.

Fantasy sword cane
I am totally satisfied with this very well made sword cane.I weigh 250 Lbs. and this cane is very sturdy and gives great support.The only thing I must say is that the blade does not appear to be a genuine Damascus blade. Other than that I feel that the cane is very well made.If I knew that the blade was not genuine Damascus I would have just purchased the other cane cause it didn't cost as much.Also I wished that you could not hear the blade rattle in the cane when you use it.
