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

    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.)

    Actually just watched it on the phone. Too be honest looked up the prices on line , I think im going to order one. seem to be in the $20 range, and at that price if he doesn't like it we are not out much. plus he wants 2 or 3 options here, so that will be the first . Thanks, Do you know if we have any vendors on this site that sells them? Rather support the guys here
