hey chris
dont know if this is relevant,, but haha you cant stop me mwhwhahaha :P anyhow, my dad (very proud big leo) needs a cane and he sort of bypassed the reason he needed one by adding sword canes to his collection. ( much easier if you feel embarresed by walking with a cane when you pull out a blade) anyhow not for everyone and probably only get away with it in South Africa with the crime and all...just thought I would share, good hunting
