Cane Whip -- That's not a noif!

It is a clever idea as an alternative to a sword cane, but wonder how effective it would really be vs a rigid cane.

I have practiced/taught cane defense for many years- I would much prefer a stiff fighting cane. Whips are wicked nasty at a distance but I prefer the versatility of solid. Not to mention you can take one anywhere legally.
 
Self defence cable whips have been making the rounds on YT for a bit. They pack a hellova punch but are maybe legal in the in the most academic sense.

I think the original idea is more of a way to cause pain than full on damage. Of course, CS ramping it up to 11 means that you need to be able to literally knock the block off a guy if gets air time in a video.

Both her T's . But the video is still a failure as a "proof " of product . IMO .

As far as a practical SD weapon , this "cane whip" would not be my choice .

One of Cold Steel's regular canes or their HD Sword Cane would be more effective for me .

Whips, in general, are more "pain compliance " than physically disabling .

They are also difficult to use at random range and when grappling .
 
Price tag to high for a steel cable… could just make your own.

Sjambok is more reasonably priced and could easily be modded into a staff or walking stick.
 
CS always has these crazy wild products they release, if I was a collector I'd pick one up though cause I don't see this being in their lineup long term.
 
I'd be concerned about the legality for carry , in some jurisdictions and for air travel ,etc .

I think that one would just cut you to ribbons.

Not a fan of it personally. Will it do damage? Sure, but I just don’t see it stopping a determined attacker who may or may not be on certain substances. And if the guy knows basic wrestling, any whip is basically useless in grappling situations.

Wide arcing whip strikes can also hurt bystanders near the bad guy.
