BTW--who says you need some sort of infirmity to carry a cane? When blade canes were popular, Riverboat gambling days, I'm sure this was more the standard than actual need. Considering the Cane has probably been used without modification in self defense for 2,000 years, you are correct.

100s of jokes about being beaten with your own cane. Goes back to Cain and Abel
The cane is just a modified staff, which has been used a lot longer than 2000 years. Staffs were modified to get through doorways and fashion, and just like nunchucks, chains, sai, they evolved as weapons because the ruling class didn't allow firearms, or swords.

My Dad is 93 and his cane is huge, can’t remember what kind of wild tree it’s made of, he’s 6’ 4” and on a walker now, I will get his to add to the barrel. Wouldn’t want that across the knees.

an 18 " steel Sai, in left hand for blocks and a 12 in San Mai Tanto in the right makes a good combination. A six inch original Jody Sampson (made swords for Conan) Bali Song in the back pocket, is good backup. San Mai is cool, but it's hard to beat modern mono steels. Not going to get a delamination with 80CRv2 or 8670.

Quit being stupid. It's been tested, and it doesn't work.

Escrima has a complete section from setting positions, wheelchairs or otherwise, A lot of it was taken from the Samauris drawing of the sword from the sitting position. I wonder why there aren't still Samurai?

Leupolds. At one time, canes were a wardrobe accessory for gentlemen I believe? Watch out for the gold-headed ones. He's trying to lure you within sward range.

Not going to get a delamination with 80CRv2 or 8670. I don't think the knife fight will go that long. I don't use it for anything else. Anyway its the technique not the blade, and I don't mean icepick. Any knife long enough to keep distance, and deliver a good snap cut.
