Cold Steel Cable Cane Whip

[Pat Riot]

I have never heard of one of these. I must say it’s intriguing. I am not even sure how you could word the search to make its legal. 
 

Anyway, here is the Cold Steel Cable Cane Whip. 

OOPS! Forgot the link.

Interesting!

I read some of the comments and there were a few that said that when using the cane the whip could be heard rattling inside the tube. That’s not good. I guess you could put a polymer sleeve inside, but why do that? Cold Steel should address that issue.

Watching the video -- the whip end of it coming around behind the person using it looks like it could be about as dangerous to the wielder as nunchaku.

Good point.

I'd rather have a sword than a cable.

I suspect this might be covered under laws on Slung Shot which are covered in quite a few states.  I would prefer a sword cane or loaded cane.

A “slungshot” is a cord with a weight on it. It’s used for casting lines from one place to another. The ball is called a monkey fist. The cord is sometimes wrapped around the shot in a basket weave fashion. 
I am not sure the slungshot and the cane whip would be considered the same thing under law.

A felony in many states. I cannot find info on a cane whip.

I walk the neighborhood with my Cold Steel sword cane on a regular basis (perfectly legal in TN).  I figure that and my Beretta .380 Pico makes me less of a sitting duck.  I'm too old and slow to do the flight part of "fight or flight", but I might still surprise a "ne'er do well" with bad intentions.

Actually this reminds me a bit of the collapsible Spring Batons - numerous brands & styles.

I just verified that cane swords are legal in WV and in PA “if it is not carried with unlawful intentions”. 
That’s good to know. I live in WV and frequent PA often. Though I really don’t need a cane of any kind…now.

Legal in Montana when last I looked, but many things are.

I had one in CA that extended to 26”, if I remember correctly. I carried it on my bike for the occasional d’bag often encountered there.

One day I got pulled over for speeding and the officer noticed it clipped to my handlebars. He informed me that possession of those batons were a felony unless the individual was a law enforcement officer. 
My baton was in pristine condition. I never used it once I bought it,  I didn’t need to, strangely enough. 
I smiled at the officer and asked him how he would like a new baton.

He smiled back and said “I’d love one.”

I motioned to it and said “Help yourself” and he did. He still gave me the speeding ticket though.

Looks like a weedeater drive cable.

 

A good cane with a hame head would serve you better and invoke less time to employ or questions if used.

 

Plenty of easy to find cane technique.
