I read somewhere...it may have been in a thread somewhere on this forum...about a cane maker someplace like Texas or Missouri or Arkansas...one of those states. There were some really nice ones and I'd thought I bookmarked the site, but now I can't find it.

The canes could be custom made with fancy engraved heads and different kinds of ferrules and from several varieties of wood. You could get a wrist thong on the cane as well. Prices were extremely reasonable. You could even order "seconds" or canes with factory blemishes at discounted prices.

Anyone know who I'm talking about? No, it isn't Brazos, already checked them.

Is bought one years ago @ a local Orvis shop that was liquidating. It is very similar to the bubba stick. I liked the way it felt, it was cheap enough, & I figured if I bought it I'd never need it.Wooden Walking Stick / Horse Hame Walking Stick -- Orvis

Funny thing is I was going to mention that I've seen similar brass heads on horse harnesses. I just googled horse hame, and sure enough it is from a horse harness. Learn something new everyday.

I have friends in the martial arts that are Dangerous with anything in their hands.

One guy's Mom is good with a staff(among other things) he got on her wrong side one day, she grabbed a wood handled broom, he went out thru the screen door with out opening it. She's 5' tall, 100 pounds it that much.

I have read this article with much interest. Since my accident almost 8.5 years ago, I have not only benefitted from the stability my cane has provided, I have felt the need for some form of defensive device since I feel like I have a neon sign overhead identifying me as an easy victim.

In many instances, I can walk ok without the cane, but I feel more comfortable with it, especially since I live in a state that denies me the right to defend myself.

My issue is, I don't want a threat getting too close. I also lack the skills and confidence to engage in cane fighting. Since this thread has a fair degree of participation, can any one here suggest where someone can get training to confidently use a cane for defense, or a credible source of videos on the subject?

Thanks for your assistance!

Post # 24 has a link to a company, Cane Masters, that offers canes
and training videos.

Online Classes

I have been taking online classes for self defense cane and Jeet Kune Do. I can honestly say the cane makes a wonderful self defense weapon, especially when you know how to use it!

Here is where I have been learning:

I use a Kabar defensive cane. I'm an old coot (82) and can't defend myself with my fists anymore.
The aluminum cane gives me a little edge if push comes to shove.

Find a dojo that has a master in Escrima (or Arnis) and take some lessons to make a fighting stick really "sing."

If you carry a cane for self defense purposes, you best know the fundamentals of stick fighting. A cane by itself for the uninitiated or inexperienced is simply another tool that can be turned against the owner.

YUP but its still better than a harsh word and a stern look. Anything can be turn against the owner, the other guy just has to be better or maybe just luckier.
As a side note: from numerous observations, bunt force trauma (A lock/rock/soda can) is a sock beats a penetrating/slash wound (shiv/shank) every day of the week and twice on Sunday

They are effective weapons!

Sam Peckinpah's "Killer Elite" has some good cane fighting scenes in it.

I am disabled and must use a cane to walk. I have a number of aluminum canes I use on the farm and around the house. The one I bought to use when I leave my home is a hard wood from asia and has a curved handle. I researched the wood by contacting the company that sells them to the farm store chain, and found that they are made of an asian wood that is a relative of our locust tree. It is as strong as our oak or hickory trees. My initial blow would likely break the collarbone. I carry a .45 pistol and fast open knife, but the cane would be the first line of defense, even before my Pepper Blaster. Farm stores keep these canes in stock because ranchers and farmers use them to move herds of animals. They are a real bargain at about $ 15.
