Hanbo. "Han" = half, "bo"=staff. Literally "half staff", but used also about normal walking cane.

Is it han with a long a? Like in ham?

If you are referring to a crooked cane, It is not a traditional Japanese weapon. Try looking at Chinese weapons and Korean weapons. I know that Hapkido and Hwa Hwrang (spelling?)Do use the cane. However these styles are more Chinese influenced styles so try Chinese martial history.

A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
