Here is a link to a more substantial, utilitarian custom cane, it is called CaneMasters: http://www.canemasters.com

These canes are made to measure, and are designed for martial arts use. I bought mine before a trip to Itally five years ago, and it is the first cane I've ever owned that actually FIT me.

In addition to the canes, which can range from plain to extra-fancy (with engraving and jeweled enlays) Cane Masters sells training tapes and training aids for people learning the cane as a martial arts weapon.

I strongly reccomend CaneMasters. If you order one, tell Master Mark Shuey that Doc Hudson sends his regards. BTW, he is a good man to do business with.
