My Dad's walking stick that was given to me. Shillelagh root-knobbed walking cane. He flew with it, but couldn't tell you how.

In Oklahoma sword canes are legal so the day I need a cane for walking, that's what I'm buying. I just think they're cool.

Yes you would be a very sharp dresser!

I have a neat sword cane but I can't find out if it is legal in MO. Before MO went to constitutional carry the sword cane was not legal as it was a concealed weapon.
Now I am trying to find out if sword canes are legal. One would think that they would be but the law does not always make sense. Guess I could call the local sheriff's office and ask but I am happier when they do not know I am alive.

I may have missed this if someone already commented. I believe that the National Disabilities Act allows you to have the cane anywhere but I wouldn't be surprised if the airline had you put it in the overhead.

Men started killing each other with sticks a long time before blades or guns, yet they will take a way my little pocket knife and let a 300# man (me) board with a 3' long hardwood stick with a metal tip and some sharp #2 lead pencils.

Why do I find that so hilarious?

Take it up with Congress. Back in 2013, TSA was all set to allow knives with blades no longer than 3" to be carried through checkpoints once again, but the airlines and Congress put a stop to it.

I have a nice metal cane I'd like to take on my trip next week. It has a stainless golf ball on the head. It's not collapsible but would fit in the overhead. Would TSA let that fly?

For several years, before and immediately after my knee replacements, I had to use a cane, and I flew with this one with no problems.

Thanks for that link, Beemerguy53: somehow I was unaware of that company, and it has a lot of products that look neat. (No interest in skull pendants, but happily that's removable.)
