I have always had an interest in picking one of these puppies up. Anyway, I saw one from a big box online retailer going for $80 w/ free shipping, so I pulled the trigger on it.
All I can say is, "well done Cold Steel!" This thing is the genuine article. While there are other manufactures like Burger, who make fully combat/action ready canes, w/ premium handle and shaft materials (at 10x + the price of the Heavy Duty Sword Cane), strength and functionality wise, no manufacturer makes a sword cane stronger than this-not a doubt in my mind.
And being that I live in AZ, and these are perfectly legal to carry in public here (if you are over 21) I can enjoy taking it out with me from time to time.
