I bought this product 2 years ago. From the very first time I used it, I was impressed. This thing is indestructible. The cane is heavier than traditional wooden canes, but that makes it good for conditioning purposes and also adds more "punch" to your strikes. I love the point of the beak. Very devastating in defensive use. However, the one negative about this cane is the size of the hook. It is too narrow. Should have an inside diameter of 5.5" to 6" to allow for twirls without the sharp beak "raking" my wrist and arms. Would I recommend this cane... ABSOLUTELY! In fact, I just purchased 2 more as backups.

Great cane, Great price. Only problem, it took 19 days for delivery.

The Night Watchman cane is strong and solid, albeit a bit weighty. I took an inch off the length, and cut the crook point to the outside and slightly blunt because I prefer using hooking techniques and drawing less blood. It is a quality walking aid, and an impressive defensive tool.

As with all of their products this cane is tough and built to last, bought it for my elderly mother in law whose dog destroyed the last wood cane I made her, This thing is tough just to test i took my knife over to bottom to be cut off and after several slashes and saw attempts the marks I made where barely 1 mm deep. Tough as hell and a nice weight that isn't too heavy or too light.

Solid heavy cane feels great when walking. Concerns horn is angled inward and pokes your wrist with any figure eight keep away moves. Crook is to narrow for intended purpose which is to trap limbs or neck. I was able to modify the horn with a hack saw so it is acceptable for more traditional self defence forms. I'm giving this a solid 4 stars after my modifications. Great materials, contact me for a improved design for more serious fighting cane at the same cost.

Obviously, all of these 5-star reviews can't be wrong. They must indicate a good and reliable product, especially since so many of the reviews are coming from big guys who are actually using it for support. I bought two. I cut one down for my own use and left one at full size, for weaponry if needed.

Lots of sticks/canes feel short to me at 6'3", but this seems about right, maybe an inch too long but easy to cut down.

It arrived today. (I picked it up at the Post Office because I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to look over my new cane). This is a marvelous unit. I have to mention that the Cane tip already came attached. That said, I think that this will help this old Navy Veteran get around (after a few miles of walking, my ankles begin to swell). I'm getting a prescription from my Primary VA doctor for a cane. I can already tell that this will be preferable to any wood or standard metal cane they can offer. (I'll take what the VA prescribes as a "backup" cane. This cane will take anything I can dish out and will work as a self-defense staff/cane. Since it is and will remain, a physician-prescribed "walking aid" I can legally carry this onto commercial airplanes, Amtrak, Greyhound and any means of public transportation. Law Enforcement cannot prevent me from using it for it's prescribed purpose. (I am training to use it for its "secondary purpose"). It may come in handy when "the feces impacts the air motivator". Thanks, BudK This is something every person that has any mobility difficulty should own. It is a great therapeutic device as well as a personal defense device when absolutely necessary. Keep up the good work. I have already placed another order with you and plan to remain a customer fror the forseeable future.
