The copper swirls provide indexing and decoration.

No, Scott doesn't get out of the boots much. Heck, with Blade on the horizon, I barely let him out of the shop.

The Damascus throat adds beauty and gives two Rare Earth Magnets purchase when the sword is sheathed.
Don't ask about the thumb. It's a painful subject:)

Yes Mr. White - while exploring the Damascus path one certainly needs a good "walking stick", and one with a dagger is certainly better than one without:)

Thanks for looking. This cane will be on display at Blade - table 21R.

So cool. I have always been a sucker for sword canes. I don't think I could carry one legally here, but would love one for my collection anyway.
 
Scott,

That's just awesome, and a fine and helpful companion on the road, no doubt.

I'll be over to your table for sure.

neat! Enjoyable read, also.
 
Now that is cool! You must have sophisticated squirrels to deal with in your neck of the woods.

Lydia, I think you two need a matched set.

Great post Lydia!

Très chick! Or should I say very "koi"? (Hope he's not fishing with that thing in that pool!)
 
Very cool! I'm gonna have to come past and check this one out.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I hope to see many of you at Blade, and I'm bummed to hear that some of you won't be able to attend.

Yeah, the animals in our neck of the woods are rather intelligent - squirrels and koi alike. I haven't successfully speared either yet, but that's not for want of trying. I'll keep practicing, and maybe by Blade I'll have a trophy to show.

Never heard of a Burger Sword Cane, but I checked 'em out and they are really cool. I've wanted one of these all my life and it may be hard to part with this one . . . then again, maybe not:)
