This is an amazing self defense weapon, nobody think that it is a sword. Very light with incredible sharp end like a nail.

Agreed. I bought one from an online site - it is heavy and the sword clanks around inside it loudly.

@@StainlessIdea : Mr. Matt Easton , the man behind ,Scholagladiatora' channel, a dealer of military antiques, and expierienced fencer, and for more than twenty years active in Hema, and for years a trainer in historic fencing is no fan of sword canes.

@@brittakriep2938 the first rule of self defense weapons: *have* a weapon. This meets that need, and being lightweight, is more likely to be on your person when you need it.

@@lairdcummings9092 : My comment was not exact enough. Mr. Easton thinks, the fact that a swordcane has no guard ( in german Parierstange) , which makes selfdefence more difficult than with a ordinary sword, and after reading old newspapers writing about swordcanes, the quality was often cheap. Well in an era , when most men had a cane, there had been canes for weapon use, or canes, with unusual features, once i saw the cane of a cattle trader, it contsined no blade, but a measurement rod (?)to see the height of cattle.

you know that! very luxury steel, i am metallurgist, this steel was made with very low impurities and low imperfection, to much plastic deformation for increace the tooghness and harder by cold work deformation. In spanish Acritud (endurecimiento por trabajar en frio), excelente tenacidad.

found one rapier,in flea market, handle repaired badly and owner wanted huge money for it,toledo steel was still perfect, i hate myself why i dont buy it.

How far are you from the river?

Как часто пользуешься?

Toledo (Spain) Solingen (Germany) and Sheffield (England) were the "Big Three", famous all over the world for their fine steel and bladed weapons.

What you for watching.

thank you a lot Jack!

Its very high quality product, very very expensive at this moment, premium wood, silver, high quality steel.

You are lucky to have some piece like this!

Thank you for the advice

Thank you for watching =)

is protected with the polishing cream (it is made with abrassive and cow fat). Thank your advice and for watching.

@@StainlessIdea you ruined it.

Typical ignorant person who acquires something old and beautiful and then removes all the charm and character from it. They do it to furniture and other objects,as well. There's an entire channel devoted to it. I've seen ancient bronzes polished and buffed until they're as bright as a new penny! It's sad.

@@kirbywaite1586 The ancient bronzes were originally polished to a mirror finish (and frequently gold plated) just like all the Roman and Greek marble statues were painted in brilliant colours. “Patina” is simply lack of maintenance due to ignorance of the original design and artists intent (like candle soot on paintings).

@@allangibson2408 Yes, but tastes change after the passage of a few thousand years. The appreciation of the effects.of age are an acquired taste, but then aren't all tastes? You certainly wouldn't want to see marble statues repainted in their original colors, would you? That would be quite garish. Certainly Michelangelo would not have painted his marble sculpture. That would have run quite contrary to contemporary tastes. Patination of bronze has a long history and tradition. It's not likely the bronzework of the Renaissance was polished. Both the Chinese and the Japanese also have a tradition of darkening their copper, brass and bronze. Your analogy of ' sooty paintings" is not a good argument. Dirt is not the same thing as oxidation. The surface of the paint has not changed as a result of age. On the other hand the highly prized crackleur that occurs in very old oil paint is a product of age. Would you advocate filling in and touching up the cracks in order to make a painting look new? And of course, beautiful old picture frames are generally conserved in the same manner. Fortunately, it is standard museum practice to not polish ancient artifacts. Perhaps items of silver or gold would be an exception, but then gold doesn't tarnish anyway. I certainly hope that practice continues.

It is very nice piece. Thank you.

Great history for the cane! Where are you from?

@@StainlessIdea Pennsylvania

is very beautiful :)

Obrigado! gracias! thank you for watching :)

Its very easy, is a L lock, the lock is made with spring steel alloy, (High carbon steel), the L lock release when an opposite force is enought to force a bend the elastic L lock. Is a perfect lock, but maybe you need good strengh for release the sword.

@@StainlessIdea thank you so much for the answer, I'm actually looking for this kind of stop mechanism, cosplay intended actually, I need strength but not so much. Awesome job again mate, really well done and thank you

Totalmente de acuerdo

Gracias por el comentario, la verdad que es una perla.

really? good job!

@@StainlessIdea I love my stick, I carried it on many battlefield tours in south africa.

thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Nop, i have the cane yet.

Now i bought a better machines for polishing.

Who wants this sword? all. haha

thank you

hahaha, in any store place ;)

@@StainlessIdea If only! Unfortunately the British nanny state and humourless cops don’t appreciate an old dude like me carrying any blade longer than 3”. Feckin ridiculous. I’d much prefer to deter anyone coming too close with bad intentions as 30-years of military training means I can be accused of using excessive force! As I now walk with a pronounced limp (thanks Terry Taliban) a walking stick would be just right (or I’ll keep carrying my old Fairbairn & Sykes Commando knife with the stiletto blade just like this beautiful sword).

thank you

thank you. Thank you for watching.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for watching.

Maybe, to much years without opening, around 50 years. Is a very good quality steel for those years. Thank you for watching.

thank you so much!

Yes, its very nice.

Thank you!! =)

sinceramente no lo se, es una madera cara, pero calculo que en España se debe conseguir en donde venden maderas refinadas. Gracias por ver el video.

i use glue with some mix of wood dust with similar color, is for a better apparence.

@@StainlessIdea Pero me da la impresión de que es un epoxy, ¿cierto? ¿Dirías que el resultado es mejor con epoxy + serrín que con superglue + serrín?

@@chuckbowie5833 La verdad que no probé, debería intentar para la proxima. Voy a comprar resina y adhesivo epoxy cristal y jugaré con catalizador a ver cual es mejor.

thank you for watching

than you for watching :)

Thank you.

Hahaha, is a legendary sword man, but this is Spanish blade, used by old gentleman.

Not totally true. Up to 1920s canes had been an item, used by men of different age. Poorer men used cheap canes, while rich men or nobles had expensive, often silverdecorated canes. Here in Germany in 1970s/ 1980s you still sometimes could see men in their 40s with a cane, but only when hiking.

@@StainlessIdea I was just messing around. I don't really know anything about sword history or canes. It just looked like the one Zatoichi the blind swordman used in the movies. (Fictional character) 👍

@@brittakriep2938 i didnt know it, but this cane was very expensive, not for poor people at this moment. We lost the silver point, maybe on the future i will make the silver point.

Thank you for watching :)

Thank you. I invite you to my city to visit other restaurations, for free. Thank you for watching my friend.

Thank for the words :)

is a beautiful cane sword

thank you

thank you a lot!

that nice cane, i cant image it, must be super cool.

Cane Flask, for alcoholic spirit. Still made today

Thank you for watching!!

Thank you, i see you.

Me dejas pensando, el baston fue regalado a mi padre, pero la verdad que según el venía asi pulido espejo. No creo que este sea el caso, pero si te puedo decir que venía con una puntera de plata, que por el costo no la pude fabricar, ademas no se como es. Voy a ver si la puedo hacer para un segundo video.

Yes, for a good price. Thank you for watching the video.

Why is ilegal in UK? Thank you for watching.

@@StainlessIdea ​ They're primarily classed as an offensive weapon, and thus illegal, as is the sale or gifting of them. Section 141 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 provides that it is an offence to manufacture, sell or hire, offer for sale or hire, expose or have in his possession for the purpose of sale or hire of or lending or giving to any other person certain specified weapons. Further, the Criminal Justice Act (Offensive Weapons) Order 1988 (S.I 1998/2019) (as amended) provides that the following are specified weapons for the purpose of section 141: "b) a swordstick, that is, a hollow walking-stick or cane containing a blade which may be used as a sword." Both are offences that can land someone in jail on conviction, in the UK. It's sad, but there it is :(

@@Roger_Stenning Could you get a collector's permit? That is possible in Denmark.

The whole point is it looks like a walking stick. Illegal or not, you can carry this

Muchas gracias, es muy bonito la verdad.

Thanks for enjoy the video.

Its a great gift from a old toys store owner to my father 50 years ago, when my father was young the old man said to my father, some day this cane will be yours, 20 years later, when my father was living in other city in Argentina, he received a letter from this man, who died, was a ugly news, and the letter brought with a box with this cane.

Te gusta mucho como ha quedado?

Thank you for watching

OMG!!! its more new than this one, but its amazing.

Or a silver / nickel silver one to match the inlays.

Thank you for watching.

@@StainlessIdea no probs, this kind of thing interests me, i have to use a cane sometimes and the thought of having a blade hidden in it is exciting to me, something like Arya's needle in a cane...

nice advise! thank you.
