Walking Canes???? "Tacti-cool" lil help

[PenderMedic]

Husband is a firefighter (truckie) and was busted up on a structure fire on Halloween , and he goes into surgery for his ACL, MCL , and meniscus tomorrow morning.....He'll be on crutches for awhile, but wanted to look for a cane that fits his personality for when he can transition to it . This whole thing has been a blow to his ego, and hates the thought of a cane, .... "Alpha male/Infantry/martial arts/MMA/weight pile Gym rat / fit /outdoorsman type "person, haha' ..Are There any tacti-cool canes out there? defensive ? or even canes that just look cool, or funny.?

Do a search on Blackthorn Shillelagh and/or Irish stick fighting.

Good Blackthorn root canes are getting harder to find but Cold Steel makes a polymer version.

You might find the Cold Steel Walkabout worth taking a look at, I have one I use when the Bad Hip Days start clustering or just when I see someone new and hinky around the neighborhood. (I WANTED a cane like Mr. Hammond's in Jurassic Park, but function trumps form and nobody makes one rated for even mere load-bearing never mind combat use.)

Another vote for blackthorn. Not much is stronger, other than rebar. Tall sizes are hard to find and $$$.

I recently got one from Brazos for my hikes in the FL parks and such.

Me, I like a legit wood stick. They also have a long line of canes:

Steve Tarani teaches a great walking cane class.
Younger son and I spent 2 days at his class banging on each other trying out his techniques.
When i travel to NY or Boston I always carry my cane.
Try Amazon for video's and books.
