Pat Riot Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) 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. https://www.coldsteel.com/cable-whip-cane/ Edited April 17 by Pat Riot 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Huckleberry Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I'd rather have a sword than a cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 17 minutes ago, Badlands Bob #61228 said: I'd rather have a sword than a cable. A felony in many states. I cannot find info on a cane whip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) Actually this reminds me a bit of the collapsible Spring Batons - numerous brands & styles. Edited April 17 by Rip Snorter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Joker Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
