I have a nice cane/walking stick, Piece of willow with a few small diamonds and beaver chew marks. Found it striped by beavers down on the creek. Bit over an inch at the top which they rounded nicely. I cleaned it up a bit and did a 1/2 hitch wrap near the top. If I ever go on a plane again I will take it with me. Find it hilarious that they won't let me carry a knife with a 3" blade (or even shorter) but they will let a 300# man carry a big stick. Humanoids were killing with sticks long before they figured out any kind of knife.
