I love the Light and Alarm and the good grip.

Despite its heavy look, this sturdy walking stick weighs little more than 1.5 pounds. This tactical cane is based on the traditional knobkerrie or Zulu battle stick and has “an undulating shaft and the traditional geodesic ball grip at the top.” This fighting stick is 37″ long and can be used as walking assistance as well as a powerful self-defense weapon. One thing is certain: with a single stroke, this tough combat cane will halt any assailant in his tracks.

RMS Natural Wood Walking Cane is meticulously handmade, robust, and hooked – everything you need for successful cane fighting. The offset cane is suitable for men and women between the heights of 5’4″ and 6′, measuring 36″ tall, 1.5″ in diameter, and weighing just 1 pound. It’s ideal for extra support, balance, post-surgery, self-defense, fashion, and people with restricted mobility.

Love the cane. Strong, sturdy, and smart looking cane. I highly recommend this cane

The Bubba Stik is a good choice whether you need a walking cane or one that can also be used as a fighting cane. This type is made of American hardwood and has a brass handle. It is both durable and functional. Its original 39-inch length is appropriate for six-footers, but five-footers may simply trim it to size. It has been reported by users to be efficient against loose dogs and helpful in defusing road rage situations.

Its comfortable to use, extremely strong, and endless compliments

Cold Steel’s aluminum cane is yet another lightweight option. It weighs 1.5 pounds and has a 1911 pistol-grip handle, making it both comfortable and adaptable. You’ll feel like you’re ready for a shoot-out if you adorn your cane with your own choice of classic 1911 pistol grips. The jagged blades of its 4.5-inch handle might deliver a powerful hit to an attacker’s head or neck, or it may be used to snag an attacker’s ankle and knock him off balance.

This is the ideal self-defense cane for the urban explorer. Made of durable fiberglass and topped with an aluminum head, this weapon will deliver a powerful blow to any attacker. The stick is finished with a lightweight 6160 aluminum head that has been mirror polished. Since the head is detachable, it can be simply personalized or customized to your liking. Furthermore, the base is equipped with a thick rubber ferrule to prevent sliding on the rough streets and broken sidewalks.

First of all I received it faster than I thought. I ordered it on Aug. 31 and I received it on Sept. 3. Perfect size for me. I'm 5'6". It's as sturdy as ever. It's beautiful, I love it. Thank you very much.

This cane resembles an ax and will deter most assailants. Because, let’s face it, no one wants to be smacked in the face with an ax. Regardless of how unlikely the possibility. This cane is an excellent choice for people who don’t want to waste time learning cane self-defense techniques. This one is a little more expensive, but the high-end design also justifies the price of the cane. It’s definitely a conversation starter.

This cane is awesome I got it for Christmas and dude no one will mess with you if you have this thing. It is solid metal and it has a spike at the bottom all in all a very cool cane.

If you’re serious about self-defense but don’t feel comfortable using a fighting cane, consider the Zap Stun cane. This completely adjustable cane appears like an innocent walking staff and is capable of providing 1 million volts of protection, allowing you to have the additional protection you need without proclaiming it to the world. It is heavier than the lightweight aluminum and fiberglass models at 2.85 pounds, but not so hefty that it will drag you down.

Brought this for my mother and she loves it. Hopefully it will not have to be put to use. It does provide security for the elderly when they are out.

The Ka-Bar TDI Cane is one of the strongest self-defense canes on the market, constructed of 0.100-thick 5052-H32 aluminum and measuring 39 inches long, and can be adjusted shorter for a better fit. The weight is about 2.15 pounds, and the wall thickness is 0.125 inches. Small items such as cash, extra keys, paracord, or a small knife can be stored in the hollowed-out shaft for emergency use. Keep in mind that these items will be detected by scanners at courthouses and airports.

an excellent cane. heavy enough to be used for defence, but not sp heavy as to be clumsy.

The strength and durability of 2Cr13 steel are combined with the lightweight resilience of fiberglass in this tough battle cane. The M48 is a practical walking cane at 37 inches in length, but its ax head handle makes it equally useful as a brush-clearing tool and self-defense weapon. This tactical cane is made of high-quality materials and can be used to clear brush, cut wood, and protect oneself against predators of all kinds.

I've been a martial artist for over 40 years. Made the move from hand-to-hand to weapons about 30 years ago. So you can trust me when I say this walking axe is well made, sturdy, well balanced and razor sharp. [...]
