Traveler Black Wood Handle Sword Cane

Best value for a functional sword cane. Strong, easy to open, not bad sharpness. I deliberately shortened the blade by 12” to allow for quick draw. The length of the blade as, original, required the full length of my arms to draw. I have ape like arms so shorter people may find shortening the blade to be a it to long. If you do cut it down, remember to do it in increments so as not to take the temper out of your blade!

Very nice sword. Is almost the full scabbard length. Very very sharp I was able to slice clear through a tightly rolled rug. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable sword cane. Only down side is the blade rattles when in the scabbard. I was able to completely eliminate any rattle noise by lining the scabbard with thin piece of cardboard running the full scabbard length.

Very functional

Cane works really well as a walking stick. Blade rattles inside so use alittle of the wrapping paper and stuff it down in there that will take care of that. There was rust in the main body from sitting in stock make sure you add lube when not in use.

Strong cane, Easy Opening and Very Good value for the money!

was a little disappointed at first but drilled a cavity in the wooden ball and fit a 50 cent 1964 piece in it then polished the ball sharpened and set foam in the body oiled its whisper quiet! no rattle used it to discourage some dogs who came after my pup when we were walking

Enjoying very much but wish had something more than cardboard inside the shaft to protect to blade and prevent rattle besides that loving it even after hand filing a new different edge on it

I really like it a lot!!! Feels great and sturdy. I like the way the handle connects to the scaverd. Not crazy about o-rings. Feels locked in place and then a quick twist and it comes right out. Put a little gun oil on blade and handle that goes into cane part. Not much rattle at all with mine. I havent used the blade for anything but feels solid and sturdy. I havent really used it that much but if I ever need one this will be one of my go to's and I feel confident with it doing what it needs to. Extremely happy with this purchase!!!!

For the price I think this is hands down a immediate win and I 100% reccomend this to anyone interested in a budget cane sword or first time buyer. The only small changes I honestly think would make this the perfect version of itself would be, to add something for the blade to sit in inside the sheath even just a soft plastic home for it in the sheath that is placed and glued in just so when you pull the blade it doesn't have a chance to nic itself on the inside of the aluminum sheath. Nothing crazy expensive even a rectangle of cardboard would be fine anything to help keep it in place. Also for the button, maybe try using some type of black metal and it protrude the holes to cut and file it down so that it is laying for the most part flush with the sheaths exterior that way just pulling it won't release it. While for the people who want that option can just take a small file and hit the area to a decline for if they want to just twist and pull to release or just pull to release. And it might sound like I am criticizing but I want it to be perfectly clear I am in no way at all doing so I think this is one of the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces I have ever seen especially for this price and anyone who thinks otherwise is crazy.

I bought this sword/cane mainly because I've wanted one since I read William Burrough's loving description of his beloved 'razor cane' back in the 70's. Also because it is extremely modest in appearance and looks like just some poor old man's cane - I've always thought the best defense was to be invisible, or at least grey and not worth the time to screw with. Very solid aluminum cane that tightly sheathes a surprisingly sharp and high quality 22" blade. The release buttons on the side are worthless and it's much easier just to give the handle a quarter pull to release than mess with buttons. The top wooden ball on the handle comes loose almost immediately (as others have pointed out). This is easily remedied by a few squirts of decent glue, and you are set to go. I'm highly pleased with this purchase and the great value for the money, too. Also, package arrived very quickly and in great shape. I'd give BudK's 6 stars if I could!

Rattle was mentioned. Wrap a small rubber band around the tip. Eliminates the rattle, no effect on function. Release studs useless. Just twist sword in casing and it will release.

Love this sword it’s awsome

I bought it as a gift, but my friend loves it

Solid construction, with good balance as a cane or sword. Highly recommend!

...True, but every so often you get something thats value meets or exceeds its price. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled this item from the package. I mean you can scarcely get out of a fast food restaurant these days for less than a $20. I wanted a long blade 22+ inches because let's face it, if I ever pulled this on someone it would be a defensive last resort, and as such. someone is going home missing a hand. and this weapon is sharp and sturdy enough to hack it. Rattled a bit in the sheath but 2mins and a piece of foam rubber, and it was the real deal. Money well spent. I intend to upgrade and I will gladly shop here again. Well done BUDK, and thanks!

Just received my Black wood traveler and it surpasses my expectations. The wooden ball appears secure and the blade is surprisingly sharp. Additionally, I received my cane in 6 days!!! Worth much more than priced. Thank you Bud K. Y'all knocked it out of the park!!!

I read the reviews here, and the three year old ones on BUDK, and I was expecting a DIY cane project. I was pleasantly surprised when I got my cane, the ball was on tightly, the blade was sharp enough that it only took a few passes with a sharpener to get it where I wanted it. The rubber foot so far has stood up to three days of walking. I put some foam rubber in the bottom and the blade doesn't rattle now. I would encourage people to buy this cane now, I think they learned from the bad reviews and made a better product, or better quality control.

i've had this sword cane for some time now(17 months) and thought i'd give my review on it. first, the wooden knob came off right out of the box...not a major problem there, a small strip of nylon strap and a few light taps put that right quickly. second, it came semi sharp..only cut if you used a lot of force...again not a major problem, matter of fact i'd rather it came dull for safety reasons. third, it took a bit of use to get things to work as advertised..meaning it was a bit hard to get apart and back together...that wasn't to much of a problem either...a little twisting as you draw the sword helped that problem out very well. fourth, the point may need a bit of work with a file if your look for a piercing defense type weapon, if you know how to use tools correctly then that isn't going to be a problem either. fifth, the blade does rattle a bit when you walk with it...a piece of an old water hose(about 20 inches) worked wonders for that problem just had to work it in slowly and get it far enough in to not hinder the sword being put back in! all in all, a very nice little cane sword...after all, it is an SS blade and a little thin so it will flex a bit...holds a fair edge but again it is SS and that does not hold an edge for long...length of the cane was just right for me. simple clean look, not a one of a kind thing but really nice...my first use for this was taking it to a wedding as part of my steampunk outfit...big hit there! as long as you know what your getting you should have no problems with this cane...it's a cane first and foremost...this is NOT a "hack and slash" sword! if that's what you expect from this then you need something else...period! i'm 65 years old and know what i need and am looking for...for the price you can't beat this sword cane...just understand what your working with and go from there. i'd recommend this for anyone.

I have been making Damascus blades, swords, and specialty items for 34 years. Other than the blade being dull(which is common by many knifesmiths) it's a great cane sword for the money. Highly recommend to customers that don't expect a $1000 blade for $30 dollars. Common sense people can make any touch up needed

As again the wood head will fall off or rub the paint away , the rubber end will break off or out, but with a lot of love and care you can build this into a lovely tool, just don't use it as a golf club, darn little brothers

Received my a few weeks ago, the ball end was of but some locktite glue fixed it.The Blade and overall construction is well done and balanced, very impressed.

A friend and I recently purchased a brace of these, and they arrived about a week ago. We had perused the mixed reviews, but were prepared to gamble anyway as we are both men with decent shop/repair skills and felt competent to fix any flaws that the canes might arrive with. I cannot stress how pleasantly surprised we were when our canes arrived. Even when sheathed the cane is weighty and sturdy enough to be used as quite an effective bludgeon. Yes, the blade does rattle a bit when sheathed but this is easily fixed by padding or shimming the inside body of the cane itself. The blade itself arrives decently edged (nothing a few passes with a whetstone won't improve) with a nice tanto point and could serve as a formidable stabbing weapon right out of the box. The blade is also made out of fine, flexible steel- my friend is a professionally trained fencer and he could not put this blade down! It sits well in the hand and is comfortable and easy to wield. The head of the cane is a turned wooden ball with had come loose during shipping, but that was nothing a dab of epoxy couldn't fix. The locking mechanism is simple, but effective. You'd have to work very hard indeed to get this to come loose accidentally. I made a point of lubricating the inside of the lock area as a precaution, and now it draws smoothly and fluidly. Overall I cannot recommend this cane highly enough. If you are in the market for a fine blade that can be easily improved, this is for you. It exudes old-world "black tie" charm while also giving the wielder an added sense of security and debonair flair. Simply put, if you don't mind a few minutes of elbow grease this cane cannot be beat. BUDK does it again!

I opened my Black traveler sword cane 10 min ago and I am STUNNED at the high quality. After reading the reviews, I figured it was a crapshoot, about 1/2 love it and about 1/2 hate it. Well, I don't know what happened, either the quality has gone up hundreds of % OR I got VERY lucky. Folks spoke of rattles (my $189 Cold Steel rattles, but thanks to BUDK *PLUS* helpful reviewers, I know I can put in some wool or make a tube out of cardboard and line it). It has a very short tang as does my old model Cold Steel, but since the grip shank is filled with polymer (like both Cold Steel swords) 2 pins made from finishing nails will retain the blade well for thrusts and slashing attacks. The blade is "bendy" - a rapier blade is *supposed* to bend; if it parries a heavier sword it won't break, indeed all swords bend, please watch the Cold Steel video (on the website) that shows their Rapier sword cane bowing 8 or 9 inches before effortlessly penetrating a big, wet sea-grass mat.The sword that was delivered to me is heavy enough to use as a bludgeon, and the cane body is sturdy enough to use as a weak hand strike/parry tool, my wooden cane head (knob) is glued on fine but so many folks had trouble in transit or falling off in a short time I whacked it against my rug 4 times HARD and it seems OK, just in case, my epoxy awaits. On the down side; It IS dull, but I have used a professional knife sharpening service in the past and I watched as they used a big belt sander-like a band saw, but a handheld >belt< sander will work-it takes only 30 - 45 seconds to sharpen the BACK of a knife so it'll work fine on this blade. The ad copy needs updating for sure, but for 10 or 20 bucks I'm way fine with this cane and sword, it needs a little work but I customize everything I get anyway. OH! The dual detents that you twist to release the blade are the BEST lock I have ever found on a sword cane, and I have all the Cold Steels plus other high quality swords and canes. BUDK -- GREAT JOB!!!

Strong easy to draw cane. Best option for a useful personal defense cane. Draw is a little long. I shortened the blade to a quick draw length on one of my two canes.

Nice cane with sharp sword encased. What's not to like.

I liked it overall with the only disappointment being the sheath. The blade just hangs in it bouncing around dulling it.

I find myself sitting here at the house holding this cane in my arm like I'm some D&^'n general or something barking orders at the kids lol. On a serious note its a lightweight cane that does the job. Got this one as a gift from a family member. like the twist and release to engage the blade. I do tend to like things more as being a optimist, but if it is a sub par product I don't have issue with speaking rather candid on quality issues... I just try to keep it real like some people expect the world for a $20 item! I mean C'mon sometimes you get a real winner for a bargain price but one always needs to be subjective depending on value vs. price vs. reality that in most cases you really do get what you pay for :)

good cane but the blade inide came dull,the most dull ive ever seen its going to take forever to sharpen

Solid construction with a longer blade when compared with others I have purchased. The cane portion itself is metal making it an effective bludgeon.

I ordered this to make myself feel safe on my daily commute as it is through a bad part of town and muggings are a thing to be worried about. I picked this one because most of the sword canes on here seem more to be dagger canes with very short blades. This one is a good length and will be reasonably sharp with a bit of work (I wouldn't expect Excalibur) but all in all I'm very happy with the blade. The cane itself is alight. I'm ordering a replacement rubber stopper because this one has shredded after a single day walking and the black ball needs to be glued on, but it is an inconspicuos and good sword cane for a great price too!

love the look, love the feel. When it showed up, I had to re-glue the ball end back into the handle. Besides that, overall great product!

Overall for twenty bucks (10 on bogo sale) it is good! Metal construction Feels sturdy. Ok wood pommel/handle knob was off at delivery just used epoxy putty on it. It won't come Off again. Blade was squared- dulled. I used a sharpener and was able to put a blade on it. Sword is thin like a rapier- Similar to other sword canes. The sword seems sturdy. This is a great buy for the money!!! And yes I do believe it Could be used as self defense. I always wanted a sword cane like this but they were too expensive but not anymore- thanks to Bud K!!

For $20 bucks it is a fairly solid piece of kit, but not nearly perfect. Straight out of the box, the wooden ball on the handle fell off. The blade rattles in the cane, and needs to be sharpened, but it does have a decent "heft" about it. As others have said, a few modifications and this could be an excellent cane.

Couple things to know about this before buying; Shipping: I live in Canada, the item took 2 months to reach me, about one month of that time it was simply "Processing". Seemed a little bit extensive but it did get here. As a cane; Not good. I've had it for about 6 days now, and the round top has already come off. Its attached to the rest of the cane by a small piece of wood with glue on the inside. Just being used as a cane, and being picked up and walked around with holding onto that part it has fallen off. As a functional cane then; would not recommend. As far as the blade goes; The blade is excellent quality, hand made, and feels very sturdy and reliable. It fits well into the rest of the cane, and is well-balanced as well. Overall verdict; Useful for things like cosplay, and maybe one or two excursions, but the pommel falling off so quickly was disappointing. I would send it back but if its going to take about half a year to get back to them and back to me its not really worth it. Overall decent buy though, especially for the price. 3 Stars.

I got this cane and I must say that I'm not disappointed nor impressed in what I received. With a little work this could be a nice low cost cane. As others have said the knob was coming off, which is a good thing, I found rust inside the handle and also in the shaft. The blade is nicely made, shaped like a katana blade but smaller scale. The cutting edge of the blade just doesn't exist on mine. I have seen sheet metal from metal shops that's as sharp. So if you don't have a sharpener with the tungsten carbide plates you'll want to get one. The shaft of the cane reminds me of a metal table leg the way it is tapered, and the blade rattles badly when inside. I plan on keeping this and giving it the upgrades it needs to be the nice thing it has the potential to be.

I like the look and feel of it, but my blade came ground flat.

as some here noted, this item is incredibly dull(pretty much everything I've bought from budk is dull as dishwater, only 1 item was sharp enough to use out of the box). took several (about 5-8) passes w/ a bench grinder to get it to the point where I could sharpen it with a sharpening tool! also, arrived w/ the sword rusted in place. the push buttons are pretty useless so I simply cut the shaft off below so they don't show. also as noted by others, the rattle inside, so as another tried, I simply pushed packing foam down the shaft. fairly quiet now.

Cane is glued together mix of wood aluminum and steel. The blade came bent one inch to the right and with a false edge. The blue is pinned into wood that's glued into the handle.the blade wobbles at this contact this contact point. The shift is metal so the blade rattles if moved. Don't believe the good reviews. The other knives I'd gotten from Bud-K are good deals, but this was a bust.

First time I used it the handle came off. There is now way to reattach the handle. Don't waste your money unless you just want something to look at' Have bought about 30 items from BUD K and this is the first that was bad. Also forget about finding a box to mail it back due to it's length.

Every description in the video is false. No polypropaline; no "intricate detailing"; no unscrewing. The wood ball head fell off in shipping--it is just lightly glued on and has NO strength. The shaft is tapered aluminum. The handle is aluminum. The sword is held into the shaft by a ball-detent, not threads, but needs much sanding to fit back into the shaft---it is too big to fit. The "tang" of the sword is THREE-QUARTERS-OF-AN-INCH LONG and ends at the ball-detent, so that if you swing the sword and hit something---or lean on the cane very hard---the tang will tear out of the aluminum handle. BK has known this is junk but they keep lying about it year after year...................elsullo

I have bought several items from Budk and love them all. Unfortunately this cane missed the mark. With in two weeks of use the handle broke and the wood knob feel off. I guess you get what you pay for it was only $20. I will still order items from Budk they have the best prices and service.
