Does a 9mm diameter scar count? It sure makes my leg stiff when I walk around all day!
I have a couple different sticks that I'll bring along if I know I'm gonna be walking or standing around a lot, like at Renfaire. None of them are 'cromachs' or fancy at all really, but they are sturdy and useful. I mentally put canes, sticks, staffs, crooks, etc... into one of two catagories; they are either a walking aid, or a display. I realize these are sometimes overlapping though.


Almost everybody at faire these days has a staff or stick of some kind, I remember being in a disscussion with a group of 10 or 12 guys one time and somebody passing by said "hey it's a staff meeting!"
