@460Shooter These are the aluminum canes that I am considering but I can't make up my mind on the head. They also have seconds which they discount. I suppose the worst thing that could happen is I buy one and don't like it. But I have been messing around with canes for a while now.
I looked at the Irish Blackthorn canes and after seeing the aluminum ones above, I pretty much punted on the Blackthorn.
There is no question that a walking stick is an effective defensive weapon. I would just feel funny walking around town with a walking stick plus they are not medical devices. There is a difference in length between a walking stick versus a cane.
I see that the aluminum cane folks are coming out with more handles. I am leaning toward a traditional C type.
