I would like to open a discussion on the subject of acquiring, maintaining, and proper handling of canes of all varieties.

The cane as seen in the image I have provided with my original post for this discussion is a sword cane which I found rather quickly and with little effort. Though sword canes are viable for inclusion in the discussion I personally would like help in finding a quality cane without a blade hidden therein. This is requested as I live in a community where traversing with a sword cane in tow could easily cause the local authorities to become irate and stain my reputation.

I come here because initial searches for such a commodity provided unsatisfactory results, and would like to hear of the tastes and opinions of my contemporaries in this establishment as well as foster the sharing of ideas on this matter beyond my personal situation.

I would further start with some of my opinions on this matter in that I believe that a quality cane should have form as well as function. In such I mean that the cane a gentleman would optimally posses should be sturdy and reliable, but should also have an appearance such that said gentleman could go about his daily business with the cane in tow with pride knowing that the cane would not conflict with the reputation and ambiance they have worked to surround themselves with.
