ADVANTAGE BARGAINHandmade Vintage Art Walking Stick Wood & Metal Mens Walking Canes Spindle Shaft Wooden With Brass

Great quality product,solid with a great weight to it.

I got the raven (it’ brass in color, not so silver) one as part of a plague doctor costume, and expected a costume piece. When I got it, though, I was blown away.There are no casting seams on the raven handle, which shocked me. There was one very small spot where you can juuuuuuuust tell that the seam had been sanded down. That’s top notch.The cane is in three pieces on arrival, but no problem keeping it together—I used a little permanent adhesive on the threads, and it’s together forever. We tried to unscrew it just to see, and it’s staying together.It’s real wood with real brass inlay.The whole piece is substantial and heavy enough in weight that it could count as a weapon. If someone were to want to use this as a cane for real, I have no doubt that they could with some adhesive on the screws, and possibly using a better grippy thing on the bottom. I put all my weight on this cane, and never felt like I was at risk from it breaking or anything. I’m not sure what I’ll do with this cane now that Halloween is over and no one we know uses a cane, but it’s so pretty that I’m going to find somewhere to display it.

the stick is made so well - it has good weight to it and you can actually lean into it!

The handle is not particularly ergonomically comfortable as a walking support. The tips are quick to disintegrate, leaving the metal point, which provides poor traction, making it more likely to slip, if one must use it as a functioning cane, replacing the tip with a sturdier grip may improve the function.This is more of costume piece than a walking aid, and will serve that function nicely. As I require a cane to walk when I leave home, I purchased this item to serve my vanity, but I hesitate to rely on it as a daily walking aid.

After one night of use, it held up very well. I did read reviews where people had issues regarding theirs breaking when weight was applied, I may have treated mine with a bit of caution. However, I am 250 lbs, with walking issues and I did use the case for support, not just a prop. Also, I added a clear rubber foot to keep the cane from slipping away and that worked perfectly. I did need to tighten the screw joints a couple times because I didn't want to over torque them and cause damage as some reviewers commented the joints as being an issue. A little plumber's tape or electrical tape on the threads should help lock the joints in place. To me, it's solid and a decent value.

I am 190lbs, 6'2. This cane lasted no more than 3 months, with severe bowing during that time. The paint which covers the head is so poor that the oil from your hands removes it. This results in your hand being covered in a black/green smear. I can only hope it was not lead based. The cane finally broke at the bottom most connection, whilst I was walking. I will not be so optimistic about canes at this price point in the future...
