sword cane

[John Clark]

Any one know where I can find a sword cane with an ALUMINUM blade?

Mr Clark,

as we offer several kinds swords and hidden swords, i was wondering about this kind of weapon (specifically the hidden swords) in the State of California. I am pretty sure about blowguns and nunchakus, to my knowlegde their are forbidden in CA. What about the "hidden" swords ??? Any information would greatly be appreciated.

Hm, you made me curious so i checked it out.

CA does not allow sword canes.

i am also interested in an aluminum alloy cane sword, balanced like an iaito. do these exist?

[John Lindsey]

These can be bought in Japan. I think they became popular many years ago due to the Zatoichi films.

I believe that US Cavalry used to carry a shirasaya style Zatoichi katana. I do not know what the blade was made of, though, or whether it is still in stock. Hope this helps!
