Heavy?
Its a little Heavy? It feels like a Crow Bar more than a Cane and it is more than 2.2 pounds. At least it feel like it weighs more than 2.2 lbs? I think the Cane knurling for gripping should be the length of the cane in order to maintain a grip and not lose it to an attacker. It will put calluses on your hands if you work spinning it to adapt to the weight and that is expected in order to wield this cane defensively and if you practice throws and hooking with it. If you decide to use this as a cane and for defense then you will need to spin this cane daily or as much as possible, but not to much if you are older and do not have the upper body strength in terms of regeneration of muscle tissue. When you exercise you break down muscle tissue then the by product to building new muscle tissue will temporarily raise your blood pressure while it deconstructs & then reconstructs your new muscles. The older that your are the less waste product your body can eliminate as fast. A very good buy if you need a cane to strengthen your arms to use a lighter wooden cane or a polymer cane. For older folks, unless you are strong in the arms I would consider a Polymer cane and use this to strengthen your arms and then spin your Every Day Carry (EDC) cane your going to use for proper timing. That is if you are healthy enough. See your MD and consult your Provider for medical clearance if you plan on strength training to be able to wield this effectively.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Awesome defensive cane is a great buy.
Awesome defensive cane is a great buy. This is the second KA-BAR self defense cane I have purchased to date. The cane is light in weight, and very sturdy to support my body weight when needed. It is also very easy to size this cane to the needed length. I have no complaints about this KA-BAR self-defense walking cane. I own two and highly recommend this tool.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

THOR'S HAMMER!
My mother-in-law bought this for me as a gift and it's one of the best gifts I've ever received! First of all let me say it's about time someone made a cane like this. There are a few decent mass production wooden self defense canes out there. And wood has some benefits I'll discuss below. But wood breaks, and the last thing you want is to hit somebody (in self defense of course) with a wood cane just to have it break in half when you need it most. This airplane aluminum cane is practically indestructible so I know it won’t fail on me when I need it most. The first thing I noticed about it out of the box is the weight. I like the weight. My handicap is in my legs, I still have quite a bit of upper body strength for an older guy. I have practiced a few moves with this cane and as an army vet am confident I could swing this cane fast enough to get the upper hand and with enough force to easily disable an attacker and get myself out of a bad situation. But for anyone planning on purchasing this cane understand the weight does limit the amount of fancy "cane fu" moves you'll be able to do. But if your legs are in good enough shape to do the fancy footwork necessary to pull off most of the fancy "cane fu" moves, then honestly you probably don't need a cane in the first place. As a person who actually needs a cane to be able to walk down the street I know I am limited to only cane fu moves that are strictly upper body movements with minimal fancy footwork. But that's ok because one swift upward blocking move and one counter balanced downward swing on an assailant’s collar bone would end the attack for sure. And as anyone who has any real fighting experience knows, within 2-3 moves the fights usually over. Fights that last 5 minutes or more are generally the stuff of action movies. My final thoughts on the weight of the cane are that if you don't have good upper body strength then don't get this cane. Go with one of the wood versions of this cane that are much lighter weight and require less strength to swing fast and accurately. As for customization, I put a very comfortable foam grip on my cane (as seen in the attached photos. You can find the one I have easily on E-bay by searching for "Bicycle handlebar grips foam" at a cheap price. And they come in a pair so you have a spare when the first one wears out. Putting one of these foam grips on the handle adds considerable girth to the cane handle. (A few drops of dish washing liquid inside the foam grip slides it right onto the handle.) But if you don't have big enough hands to deal with it you probably shouldn't have a cane this heavy anyway. Much better quality cane tips than the one that comes with this can are easily available at your local drug stores. As for those who complain of the black powder coating chipping, there's an easy solution. Buy a black chisel tip permanent marker to cover any paint chips or scratches that will happen over time. And if you need to cut the cane to shorten it, do yourself a big favor and use a pipe cutter, NOT a hacksaw. A pipe cutter will give you a perfect cut. Hacksaw blades tend to lean to one side as you cut which will make a slanted cut. If the cut is slanted your cane will be shorter than you wanted it to be. If you don't have a pipe cutter go to your local hardware store and tip the guy a couple bucks to pipe cut it for you. Now as for those two "hand grips" on the shaft of the cane....The way the hand grips are textured is sharp and painful to grasp. So painful it makes it easy for an assailant to twist the cane and take it away from you if you are holding the cane by one or both of the hand grips. My solution was to take a piece of course sand paper to the upper textured hand grip. I smoothed it out just enough so it isn't sharp enough to cut my palm as I hold onto the grip. This of course sanded all the black powder coating off the hand grip. This was easily fixed with the black chisel tip marker. It blends in so well with the black powder coating you have to really look hard to see the difference. *The textured hand grip closest to the bottom of the cane near the cane tip I left all sharp and uncomfortable to grab. This is in case an assailant grabs the cane on that end trying to wrench it from my grasp. If the assailant is holding the cane by that textured hand grip on the lower end of the cane...all you'd have to do is grip the crook handle of the cane and give the cane a good hard twist and yank like hell. The bad guy will let go of that bottom hand grip as it begins to cut his hands while you're twisting the cane... That's all. I hope this helps you decide whether this is the right defense cane for you and give you some decent customization tips if you do decide to buy it. Remember; you're either a person who is willing to defend yourself when need be - or you're a victim. The choice is up to you. Good luck.

It's like it's part of me
I love this cane (if you can love a cane). It's sturdy, good looking, and good value for the money. I had to trim it to the right length for me, and it's not adjustable, so it only works for me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A product to depend on.
This stick ticked a lot of boxes for me, I believe it will be reliable, and effective, it’s no lightweight! But when needed it will do the job nicely, it has the potential to be a tad slippery at the handle, which is easy fixed with sports gorse, Rubber bands or similar. Very happy!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great tool !!!
I had one 5 years ago but lost it at Walmart no one very turned it in. Finally got a new one and I went to a cane fighting class years ago to learn how to use it right . Great cane. And think of it. It's the only deadly weapon you can carry anywhere. For defense only!!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good quality, sturdy cane
The ka-bar cane is a sturdy aluminium walking stick. It's quite long and can be cut to the optimum length. It's well made and should have a long service lifeVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
