Just what I needed to start training and walking with a cane,very well made as expected!
Strong but light. Beautiful hickory cane. The time and effort put into production of this cane is immediately recognizable when you put your hands on it. Definitely worth every penny.
Craftsmanship is top of the line, frame it and hang it on the wall. Balanced and Beautiful and Comfortable to use. Exceeded my expectations!
I rarely purchase things on-line because I find that I am often disappointed. But the cane I purchased from Cane Masters exceeds all expectations. The cane is exactly what I ordered. It looks great! Is very practical and the quality ensures that this is not something that will need to be replaced every year or two. Just know that when you order a cane, it does take a reasonable amount of time for them to make it and calls are not always returned. :) But, with that said, I am thrilled with this purchase and would highly recommend Cane Masters to anyone looking for a quality crafted cane or walking stick!
About month ago I had a sciatic attack hit hard. Did not know what it was, had symptoms a few years ago but not so severe and just worked through it. This time went to urgent care and found out what it was. But before I went to urgent care, I was lucky enough to have a camera tripod within reach to get up and walk around, and my mom gave me a wood cane that must have been a grandpa or uncles, but it was much too short. I tried a metal drugstore type cane but it collapsed when I got out of a care. So I found your canes and ordered the dojo one correct for my height. I am very happy and impressed with it. I wrapped some silicone grip tape around the horn. With current physical therapy I am doing my best to work and get around without a cane, but I will always keep this one with me in case I need it, and take it on longer walks. I wish I could afford a nicer one like one of the walking canes, but this one is really excellent and totally functional.
The GHMA SHADOW HAWK is a work of art and impressive. Many compliments have been received and appreciated. I personally have three of Cane Masters canes and all are equally impressive in their own right Mobility and defense Cane Masters has you covered. Thanks
I love your product my only concern is if it will hold up to street thugs or wild dogs without breaking?
I have received my everyday walking cane. It’s my second order I could not be more satisfied. It is made of really fine American hardwood. I shall enjoy this Cane for many years to come. I can personally say thanks for your expertise in your guidance as far as choosing the right came for me. Well Done Cane Masters.
The quality of this cane is remarkable! I designed it with several defensive features and all were crafted correctly. I am currently studying a course from American Cane Self Defense and the movements in the system are already paying off with better balance and stability I will be recommending Cane Masters to everyone I speak with about the cane.
A training cane is meant to be something of a sacrificial instrument, and wood will take cosmetic damage when strongly applied to things like fencing masks or hard plastic/vinyl weaponry. Impressively, cosmetic damage is all that has occurred despite some pretty intense parry/strike patterns and free sparring (note, however, that I have not used the cane in a sparring match against steel weapons). The cane also feels very good in the hands, which is remarkable for an instrument which is, as noted, intended to be somewhat sacrificial from the get-go. As an introduction to cane, something to learn how to move with and fight with, it works very well. In fact,for people who simply want a durable and comfortable wooden cane for everyday use, this may be all they need for their permanent stick. Highly recommend.
Like others have mentioned, I expected to find a minor blemish or imperfection due to the fact the wood used didn’t meet the specs for their other canes. But try as I might, I couldn’t find any. It’s a beautiful cane, lightweight and sturdy. Tried bending it a bit by hand but couldn’t get it to flex even a little.
I’m very happy with the cane, and will recommend it to others in the market.
Thanks for a wonderful cane.

I was nervous at first about ordering a product I saw online. No need. It was a perfect fit for my frame. It looks great and is comfortable to use. I even got it faster than I thought I’d receive it. I have a background in escrime and fencing, and it has great balance and swings like a champ.
Well, I finally went for the 100% solid Hickory, and just wow. Absolutely sturdy and powerful. The heft on this cane gives you confidence. Great balance, great look, great cane!
Having crippled myself 29 years ago, I have sampled many canes and made some fine ones myself. This cane may be the last one I need. Handle design with palm extension offers exceptional support which is most appreciated as I am in my 70’s and experiencing neuropathy as well. My cane is made of Hickory heartwood, has the Elite horn style, top grips and long striking edge. It’s balance as a defense tool is about perfect and in a tight spot will be quicker to deploy than the gun in my pocket. It’s an expensive cane, but definitely worth the cost.
Very nice cane for training. I used for my ACSD Class last Monday. The shaft is not real strait but still a good cane for training! I like it. Looking forward to using it on my heavy bag!
Very happy. Will need to get more for around the house.
Very nice cane. I really like the palm rest. Has grips on crook, extended grip on shaft, and 12" angled sharks teeth. Hickory with heart stained medium brown.
This is my third cane from Cane Masters. Others are more for every day use.
I bought the Shadow Hawk cane as a graduation gift to myself since I have chronic back pain and was using a cheap quad cane before this through a recommendation from family members. I read about the cane Masters canes and found the Shadow Hawk design to fit most of my outfits. When it arrived, I took it out of the box and the comfort of using it was out of this world. I feel like I could stay standing almost all day. The stability is something I felt was lacking in all other canes I borrowed from people I knew. The hickory wood feels so premium in my hands and the various patterns cut into the cane made it feel like you could harm an attacker from just holding it up to block them. It feels sturdy at the same time very lightweight. Of course I had to add the copper tip to add longevity to my Shadow Hawk's lifespan so it can help prevent the wood from fraying from me leaning on the cane like a crutch on the many occasions I lose balance walking up weird inclined roads. In the future, I certainly will be buying another cane for travel with a less intimidating pattern carving since I hear many people who had this cane when traveling get stopped by police in other states or countries since it looks clearly like a weapon. I hope I don't get stopped in Canada, but I'm sure with their most plain looking cane, I won't be. I highly recommend the copper tip and palm rest if anyone customizes their canes here. They are real game changers for longevity and comfort.
