Night Watchman Adjustable Self Defense Cane - Virtually Indestructible

The crook is to closed you can not hook neck nor thigh or groin. You need to open it up more. I will use this one for just diddle saddle around the neighborhood

I am a 6'2", 265 lbs. disabled/retired LEO, and a former International LEO instructor in Police Defensive Tactics, straight baton, PR24 baton, kubaton, firearms, and oleo-resin capsicum Instructor. This cane is made of similar materials as the Internationally famous PR24 Police Defensive Baton. I find it to be extremely tough, well neigh indestructible, and heavier than any cane I have used in the last 20 years. With the hook handle it gives another level of defense against armed opponents. With small adjustments I found I could do all of my PR24 methods for taking people down, restraining their arms and legs, and such. I got this cane as a gift from my Cousin who was a retired Guard at one of the toughest prisons in FL. I replaced a thick oak cane with it, and I have never regretted it. It gives my shoulders, wrists, hands, and arms a minor work out just walking about with it, much less doing spin strikes and such with it. Thank you for a marvelous cane, and defensive tool. this is why I bought many Christmas presents from BudK. You guys are the best.

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.

AS USUAL, FANTASTIC PRODUCT FROM BUDK. THIS CANE IS AWESOME STRONG AND GOOD QUALITY. MY CANE HAD THE RUBBER PAD ALREADY ATTACHED. I WILL LEAVE IT AS IS. BEING DISABLED, IT GIVES ME GREAT COMFORT KNOWING MY CANE IS OF GREAT QUALITY AND I CAN DEPEND ON IT TO STOP SOMEONE FROM TRYING TO HURT ME. GREAT DEFENSE ITEM. THANKS AGAIN BUDK. I MAY PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

This thing is very strong and has a very scary hook! Should last me a lifetime! Thanks budk

I love this cane. I'm kind of a big guy and needed a heavy duty cane to support my fat ass. I had to cut 2 sections off the bottom ,that took all of 2 mins. Put the bottom back on and it's perfect. Seems VERY durable for all my weight or a full swing at a would be attacker. I recommend this 100%.

i've been looking for a cane like this one for close to 30yrs. now. I wanted a fighting cane just like this,but couldn't find one untill now. I've looked long and hard for a cane ,most were expensive.During my Military days,i was just getting into weapons fighting and had thought about training with a cane. I saw a Martial Arts movie; I think it was Battle creek Brawl,Jackie Chans movie with Mako using a cane,and got hooked.Now,i'm training myself to use cane defence along with other Martial Arts. Thanks Bud-k,you allways come thru. Ronn ''Manchu''Shaw Smyrna,De

Just received mine a little over a week ago & i love it! Im a big guy, 6'2" 290lbs. I have degenerative disk disease and need a cane (when im not using a walker). I've been looking at this cane for a while as i have broke more than a few canes. After my last one cracked i ordered this one. Its a good looking cane, some may say "a little menacing." Which i like. More importantly, it's held my weight a couple times. It bends a little but no creeks, pops or cracks, it doesn't even groan. I feel confident using it. If you're thinking about getting it, go for it. You'll be glad you did! Oh, only thing, you will need to replace the toe with another, its not completely no slip. I already had extras. Took two seconds, well worth it!

Received it today, must say its perfect just the right length perfect weight easy to handle as both a cane & a fighting stick, it seems to be extremely durable, i highly recommend it to all who use a cane & need a little extra protection.

I've been looking for a fighting cane like this for allmost 30 years.I had an ideal of teaching myself to use a fighting cane when i was in the military. I couldn't find a good cane and they had cost alot of money. Iv'e finaly found one that is perfect. With my 312pds. of beefy size,this cane fits me perfectly. It has a good weight,the cost is great,and it feels good in my hands.I practice 4-5 times a week with this cane. It's a good cane that i can carry anywhere. I hope you can get them in other colors. Great martial arts tool. Ronn ''ManchuWarrior''Shaw

This cane is heavy duty! I weigh 280 pounds and need a cane to walk due to hip and back injuries . I feel safe leaning on this cane , it flexes very little. I cut the point off the hook as it was nastier looking than I wanted. So big guys go ahead and buy this one it can take the abuse we put on our canes! I was also pleased that it was actually the length it was advertised to be , unlike other canes I have bought online.

I have been using one of these cane's for about a week now. I bought 2 of them and I'm glad I did. They are 7/8th of an inch in diameter, something they don't tell you in the description. They flex a little, but not enough to worry about. They vibrate a little on impact with a soft target like a bag but still hit hard enough to break bones I think. They have some weight to them but are lighter than my wood canes. These have become my favorite cane's replacing my heavier wood canes.

I wish you would have looked at K-Bar cane design, much more functional in thickness and handle shape of the cruk opening. I also agree with a new non slip rubber tip even if you don't shorten the cane. But for the price it should outlast most canes!

I really use canes for support and was worried these were not up to the task. I am pleased to say that they are up to the task of supporting my weight(about 230). Only one issue, the end caps are hard plastic and not good for real use. A quick trip to the pharmacy for rubber cane tips and they are good to go.

I just got this in the mail not too long ago and I can say that I am very satisfied with the product. There is one thing though, on the website's description of the cane it says it is made out of "injection molded nylon with fiber," but when I received it the packaging says it's made out of molded polypropylene. Not a big deal, just a little confusing. If somebody can clarify which material this is made of that'd be great, otherwise I'll just assume it is the latter.
