Cane Swords: “Watch Out, That Geezer’s Packin’ Steel!”

13 November 2008 124 views No Comment

Sword aficionados have a wide selection of weapons to choose from. Today’s savvy collectors can find Japanese katanas, fantasy swords, Celtic swords, and even swords from movies to help them live out their nerdy hero daydreams.

One of the most interesting blade categories are cane swords, which are truly the ultimate in “concealed weapons”. A cane sword basically looks like a walking stick, but it is actually a scabbard hiding a fearsome blade within!

Gramps can now have it both ways: a snazzy accessory to add an air of sophistication, and a persuasive ally in case those meddlesome kids won’t get off his lawn.

caneswords.net has an interesting intro page that I find hilarious for some reason. Here are some of the site’s cooler designs:
