The wooden Kingfisher Self defense cane is designed as a walking cane but combines the best attributes of a mobility aid with the best features of a defensive staff. Made of qualit y grade L7 Appalachian hickory, the SD cane with attached tungsten carbide tip is tough and reliable. Options include multiple lengths, 3 color choices and weight loaded handle. All canes are supplied with an elegant clear rubber tip which fits over the attached carbide tip. The self defense cane design bears some similarity in concept to the shillelagh but differs from ball or knob handled canes in that the grip is comfortable and better for bearing weight. The design is also inconspicuous and superior to steam-bent crook type canes in that the handle has substantial mass, like a wooden mallet, which is very noticeably increased with the "weight loading" option. Wielding the cane from the tip end allows the user to maintain an assailant at a safe distance, without being limited to pulling or entangling an adversary at close quarters. Notes on lead loading: A 3/4" hole, bored into the body of the handle, is filled with lead shot and bound in an epoxy matrix. This adds about 3 oz of weight to the head which, while very noticeable and hard hitting, improves balance while still ensuring excellent maneuverability. The lead is completely isolated from the user with a type of epoxy resin which is considered food grade when cured. This option is not available for shipments to California. Check your correct length from the pull-down menu! 34" is the default length (as this is kind of average) but it may not be right for you. To determine your correct length, check out the image above. In general, the distance from the ground to your wrist bone is considered the standard length for a cane. Make sure you're standing in a relaxed, straight position. It might be best to have someone else help as it's difficult to measure yourself accurately. Add an optional lanyard? The hiking stick lanyard will fit on the SD cane. Lanyard Delivery Time Show more
