It’s okay quality, but I did have to fix the rattle of the sheath. Just ripped one of the faces off a piece of cardboard, and then rolled it up and shoved it in the sheath. Now the cane doesn’t rattle at all when you shake it, but it still draws smoothly.
Honestly, any of my solid canes would make a great weapon, but people never realize it, so the sword cane is mostly for the intimidation option.
Almost anyone can recognize a sword as a weapon, even if I could ruin your day just as much with a wooden hook cane.
To be fair, the difference between a hook cane and sword cane is one can cause bruising up to a concussion, with a low chance of broken bones. While the other creates a sequel to Highlander. So your day might be ruined by one; the other makes sure there is only one.
lol I’m not describing myself here, I’m just a fish with no meat.
It’s just been (oddly, I think) a recurring thing that multiple friends have done at ren faires (and costume parties). I know at least 3 people who have done the concealed boob sword thing, and plenty of extras who opted for bottles of hard alcohol instead.
I mean have you tried to conceal carry a sword?
Yes I have. It’s called a sword cane. I happen to have some knee damage, and if I play up my limp a bit, no one even looks twice at my cane.
You get it from Cold Steel?
I did, something like 15 years back.

What sort of permit is needed for a sword cane?
none, if nobody knows the sword is in there!
Big dresses and a lotta cleavage means you got no idea who’s got a concealed sword at a ren faire.
So like you’re single or…

Is that a sword in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?
Oh, no, that thing was six inches so it’s definitely the sword you’re seeing.
waves hand These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.
I have a very long butt-crack.
