Received this cane yesterday three days early. I was pleased with the quality of the materials. The handle is solid stainless steel and very heavy. The wire wrapping provides a good grip. There is no rattle when walking with cane. The release is solid yet easy to disengage. I did cut about an inch off the bottom to fit my height and added a rubber cane foot. The one it comes with reminds one of a pool cue tip. Not providing a very stable platform for actual walking aid use. The cane is very top heavy with the solid handle but makes for a makeshift club in it's own right. The blade is very pointed but not sharp at all. It is intended for stabbing not cutting. Once drawn the shaft becomes a very good off hand club. I recommend this cane for anyone who needs a permanent walking aid but also wants discreet defense. Just the sight of this blade drawn would scare away most attackers.

Very happy w/this cane. Would definitely recommend. Very nice looking cane!! I'm 6'3"' 205lb. The cane fits and easily supports my weight. Has weight to the solid steel handle. One hit with it would break someone's shin. The sword is to spear not to sword fight with. The blade is not razor sharp However, It is sharp enough to go thru a human, dog, coyote etc. Sword does not rattle in case. Well made. Other reviews may have had problems but I got an elegant looking defense cane. Well worth the $$$$$. Other sites charging $145 plus shipping for same cane.

First off I am a big fan of Bud K and Gil Hibben. The cane appears to be well made and sturdy. I myself weigh over 200lbs. And it supports my weight well. But I can't get over how dull the blade is. The product they show in the video is definitely not the product you get. I believe most people buy this product for the use of the blade. Bud K definitely dropped the ball on this one . They needs to inspect their stock because false advertising can get them booted from BBB accreditation. Very Very disappointed with the blade.

I have purchased sword canes in the past but his one is much better quality. My only complaint would be that the sword could have been sharper.

Blade came loose shaft was cracked. Retainer on handle was missing. this is more Chinese junk.

Must have got a good one. I use a cane and "thought mine was 36". Turns out it is 34". I cut 2" off the GH Sword Cane bottom, tapered it a bit, and pushed a Rubber Cane tip on it. NOW it's a cane to lean on. I think the factory tip, although pretty is WAY to skinny. Needs WIDE rubber Cane tip!

The cane itself is pleasing to the eyes, however the handle is very heavy and is loose. The blade is shorter than expected and is nowhere close to razor sharp. As far as a self defense weapon, would be closer described as a conversation piece.

Blade loose on handle, not sharp. Really not sharp!!!!! Handle loose in shaft. I added a little Gorilla glue to the handle, Sharpened it for about an hour (steel is quite hard) and put some foam in the shaft to cure the looseness. It looks quite nice. It is pretty heavy though. Price is pretty good though.

While beautiful and great to look at, mostly a good "conversation piece" and not really recommended for something to use. Latch is unreliable, unhooks easily, which makes for an unsafe situation. I had two with the same problem, really quite disappointed.

For this cane to be a Gil Hibben, and the price that was paid for it,I feel that it is not the top quality product it should be. Right out of the box I noticed the blade was loose and not the "RAZOR SHARP" they claimed it would be. I own several Hibben knives and this is the first time I would not recommend this product to anyone. Very disappointing
