Ignore them buddy, this is a thing of true beauty
Sword canes have been done a thousand times......Don't think i'v seen many spear canes though
The gentleman adventurer has a general knife, a staff for fending off the odd cutpurse, and then a full on spear in case of orc ambush on the road
Thanks!
I must agree with everything you said
At the Moot I saw some Swords Mr Budd had made... things of beauty but again no way an EDC in the UK ( these days), nor where they ever intended to be; EDC or Concealed.
I saw the OP photo's and it shouted "concealed Weapon". Having 3 knives, 2 axes and 1 hammer in a rucksack on a Train station could get me a long chat with a police man. Having that very very fine item in my pocket .... well that's a whole different story.
Again, it does not stop it from being a lovely job mind.

Me too! I'd love to be a gentleman adventurer and carry such a 'stick' in my waistband. It's a lovely mix of fantasy and Victorian design, even a bit steam punk imho.
Canes with a blade inside seems to be illegal in many countries. Not sure why ?
I have a beautiful one, some kind of very dark/black wood, with a silver top. Three sided blade, sharp all sides, with floral gold inlays with different colored gold. Made in the mid 1700's I have been told.
As I have a dodgy knee I do use it sometimes.
Yours is beautifully made, I imagine the scabbard was very tricky to make?

I managed to post a couple of photos before Photobucket turned nasty. Nothing since.
Outside it is gloss black/brown, polished wood. Silver band about 15 cm from top, it is where it separates. The Silver collar stays on handle, makes maybe a little bit protection for hand. The lower part of cane slots into the silver band from underneath. Bottom of cane, that meets the street surface, is a metal stud, round.
Top it has a silver pear shaped end, fluted.
Blade is three sided, scalloped out, with multi coloursed gold inlay flower bunches on each side.
A little bit of black oxidation on steel. Sharp and pointy.

I know
Meantime I found this site featuring the prohibited weapons and such and I just can't place this one under either of it. It is too short to be a sword, it isn't disguised to appear as a cane, it isn't a baton and so on. But people just don't seem to understand, that your law permit it.

I dunno, it looks kind of concealed to me, like a deliberate attempt not to look like a sheath, I would not be comfortable carrying it even if I had a use for it.
I demand pictures!
Never happen........ Photobucket broke........convenient ☺
Broken? No, they wanted my money last time I tried. I guess you in Northern Ireland get it for free, paid by England like everything else??
You started by implying I am a liar, my friend. Please note I did not say anything personal against you.
Northern Ireland does receive about 40% more than they contribute.

Will look into that! Thank you.
