Where to buy combat canes?

The top of the line are:

Don't buy the cheap rattan canes. They are not worth trying to use.

Rattan should only be use against rattan canes. Hard woods will destory them but hard woods also can snap and splinter.

I have one of Cabne Masters Canes...It really is extremely nice, and I give them a strong recommendation.

I have an instructor cane, a combat cane, 2 flex canes and 2 student canes from the Goju Shorei Weapons System. They are excellent quality canes. I believe that Canemasters and Goju Shorei canes come from the same stock supplier as these groups once were the same organization.
