Its original 39-inch length is suitable for six-footers, while five-footers like myself can easily cut it down to size. One of the benefits of this wooden walking cane is that it’s completely adjustable. Made from American hardwood, topped with a brass handle, it’s both hard-wearing and practical. Unlike the M48, this was designed, first and foremost, as a walking stick. This tactical cane is both durable and hard-wearing – so much so, you can even run over it with your truck, and it won’t even scratch the handle.Ī versatile fighting cane of this nature doesn’t come cheap, however, and you’ll be forking over plenty for an M48 wherever you shop. The only trouble is, as, with the city stick, it’s too short “for you big Vikings out there” to use as a walking stick. The curved back spike of the handle can drag things, the tip can stab at attackers, and the hammerhead can cause any number of injuries to an assailant. It doesn’t burn, melt, or warp under the heat, so it can move burning logs around. Made of high-quality materials, you can use this tactical cane to clear brush, chop wood, and defend yourself against predators of any species. Fortunately, what it lacks in portability, it makes up for in versatility.Īt 37-inches in length, the M48 is a functional walking cane, while its ax head handle means it’s equally valuable as a brush-clearing tool and self-defense weapon. The cane itself is far from light, however, weighing 2.9 pounds. This hard-wearing combat cane combines the strength and durability of 2Cr13 steel with the lightweight resilience of fiberglass. With its fiberglass shaft and aluminum handle, it’s surprisingly high-quality given its mid-range price. Stylish and effective, this tactical cane is as good for your image as it is for your protection. This combat stick is, in fact, very similar to the “preferred stick” of Pierre Vigny – one of the founding fathers of stick fighting.
If you go for that option, the scent-stopper head is perfect for striking out, operating like a club or blunt instrument. That’s not a bad thing as it’s not an easy maneuver to pull off and novices like myself are more likely to hook an item of their own clothing than the limb of an aggressor! This fighting cane is 37” long, making it unsuitable for the taller city slickers out there.Īlthough the Cold Steel City Stick is ideal for long-range strikes and cross-guards, the absence of a hooked handle means you won’t have the option of grabbing an arm or ankle and using your cane to knock an assailant off balance.
While this is effective enough, to begin with, it’s not durable to last more than a couple of months. The tip of the city stick is made from thick, non-slip rubber. It also comes with either a rounded aluminum scent-stopper head or a pistol-grip style that resembles a 17-century pistol. It weighs less than one pound, so is light enough for a small person to carry and wield.
Made up of 11 layers of fiberglass, this slick, black combat cane is surprisingly durable.
