Show Us Your Walking Stick, Cane, or Sword-Stick

[Drago]

Many of us have fellows, and fellowesses, use a walking aid.

Well, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

A traditional cane for me.

Mine now but was my Grandads so maybe 80 years old.
If you look at the bottom photo you can see (side on) the letter 'W'....his initial.
It's actually about 3" too long for me so needs cutting down AND it needs a new rubber cap.
BTW, I use a strollator now.

When I was recovering from my knee op I had a Leki telescopic walking stick. I still have it somewhere

I don't have a TV licence, a mandatory state of affairs when one acquires a walking stick.

Don't you find thin canes a bit bendy Drago? I have many walking sticks/canes as you know. I have one like your's but even supporting me with my 11 stone weight it bends and feels like it could snap causing extreme embarrassment or even worse. I know you are much heavier than 11 stone (muscle weight not fat obviously 😬) so are you OK with a slim cane?🤔 🧐

I'd never use one of those aluminium NHS elbow crutches. In Accrington so many use them, they are known as 'dole poles'!

It has a little give but it's pretty beefy.
