Which types of cranes are use mostly when someone wants to get one for stickly SD reasons? I'm sure a regular walking cane would work but what are some of the more useful ones?

I've spent a bit of time with "The Canemaster" recently and I would recommend his canes. They are made by him and for self defense, and they are as practical as they are beautiful ... LOL ... I sound like a commercial. GM Mark Shuey's site can be found at: http://www.canemasters.com/

However the down side might be if you defended your self with one of his canes and you were brought into court (for some reason) you'll have a harder time defending yourself as to why you pulverised the innocent crook who was just asking directions from you.

Which is why I have chosen to try and stay away from these types of canes. I'm sure they are beautiful, painful and the rest, however it might lhelp expose you to a law suit if you have a cane like that and not a physical ailment as to why you need the cane.

I store bought cane can be just as good (good oak) and not as visable as a special self defense cane.

I prefer the ones I walk with on a regular bases. Some are stright and a few have a "L" shaped top but none have a "hook"
Mine are all hand made as I find it easier and cheaper to find one in the woods than to buy one

If you get the kinds of cans minus the crook or L-head, you're straying into a grey area where it may be questioned whether it's a medical walking aid or not. I would recommend sticking with more traditional designs rather than something like the Cold Steel Walkabout, which strongly resembles a club.

Also, the Canemaster cane, with the single "tooth" on the crook, is safer when it comes to legality or questionable motive for carrying a cane. The fanged version may look a little aggressive. This type of cane, even with the textured length, is simply not an aggressive weapon, so don't feel nervous about it. An assault with multiple strikes could be applied with an axe handle, it doesn't require a cane like this.

Um, the "dojo cane" from cane masters is perfectly suited for all self defense/medical purposes. It's straightforward, well constructed, and perfectly capable of supporting your weight or bashing another skull. All of the frills, IMHO, are like trilobites. There's a reason they died out in the Permian.

Any very dense heavy hardwood cane will work nicely. Swing HARD!
