Back in August 2010, I bought a 36’ Black Belt Walking Cane (BB), in Hickory with Heartwood for myself, and I could not be happier. The entire order No. 2170 was for 3 canes — one for me (36’), one for my tall colleague (40’), and one for my instructor (36’). I have mine, and it looks and feels as wonderful today as the day it arrived in the mail.
The workmanship is unparalleled. Just being able to talk to the gentleman crafting it by phone, and having him confirm that he had a “gorgeous” piece of hickory with heartwood that became available, set the experience apart from that of your ordinary online order. You can tell these are craftsmen who take great pride in their work, as they should. The pictures I included are from today, June 2024, almost 14 years since it was created. And you can see that it has aged beautifully, or better yet, it seems not to have aged at all. Thankfully, I can still get by without a cane for mobility most of the time. But as a third degree black belt in Taekwondo, I see the value of having a personal assistive device that can do double-duty as a formidable self-defense tool.
If you are still on the fence about ordering, rest assured that Canemasters have been around for quite some time as my order / review attest, and they care about making things right and making them beautifully. Thank you for a great cane!
