Sho-ju Posted March 11, 2004 Author Posted March 11, 2004 I don't know of any online. I do share your enthusiasm for the cane as a weapon though. I've only been questioned by ordinary folks as to why I carry a cane with me in public. I tell them I had a tragic Tonka truck accident as a child and that takes care of it. As for everyone else, what are they going to say? You even get special service at airports when you have a cane. They even give you a ride to your gate in the little cart. I'VE FOUND THE ANSWER! I have a cane master cane and love it. Most of the karateka in my dojo own cane master canes...but I think I found a cheaper way to go. I recently went to a hardware store and found a 'hardwood' stockmans cane. It's unfinished at 38" long and I only paid $8.04 (Canadian) with tax for it. A friend of mine will add ANY of the special features of cane master combat canes including sanding and tung oil finish for only $20 bucks. The wood is very hard, I'm thinking maple. Maple after it's finished is fine for cane work, I own a shillelagh made of the stuff.
Sasori_Te Posted March 12, 2004 Posted March 12, 2004 If you have any tools buy one and try finishing it yourself. It's not that difficult. I've done one and it turned out okay. I gave it to a friend. A Dremel Tool works wonders with the right attachments. A block is a strike is a lock is a throw.
