I don't have a significant amount of grey hair showing, but I figure turning 62 next week is sufficient. I only have a 3.75 inch scar, but I'm willing to show it to the right persons who may ask The Question when I'm kilted; and I have a pic of the x-ray of my artificial hip stored on my iPhone if the scar isn't enough.
On the other hand. . .With that new hip I can hike, climb, leap, run, or kick someone in the face; and my martial art includes a gazillion applications of stick/staff tools.
So I just take my blackthorn wherever I like and let people just assume the fit-looking old guy might have an occasional need for it. Besides, who knows, someday I might.
