Very sturdy cane. not sharp at all). Many sword canes are more just toys with a loose joint. Far better than expected though. On one edge it is sharpened from the handle to the tip. The cane has such a smooth black finish on it, I didn't want to mess it up beating needlessly on stuff. Just what I was looking for! I bought the sword cane thinking it would suffice as a mediocre defense against attackers. but that is what silicone is for, not oil.
The sk5 sword cane came today,solid,sturdy and sharp.I was worried about fit and finish, fits like glove; pulls out of sheath well and fits back solid.Great product,holds my big butt up. Many so called sword canes are really nothing more than letter openers hidden inside a wood cane. There a lot of complaints with the CS version because the rubber O rings kept breaking. I need a heavy and durable blade.
I received my SK5 yesterday and i'm Well Pleased in the Construction and Usability of the product.
for this price i'd give it 6 stars. Ok, I've had my cane sword now for about two weeks and I can't say that I have anything bad to say about it. Edge is fine for a sword and was well oiled 1060, not a stainless letter opener.
Still this is a beautiful and beautiful defense tool. I had to get a PIPE cutter to do the job. Clearly it can be sharpened as it is hardened, but in my view it is not sharp from the factory. It feels really sturdy, quite hefty. To me it's kind of like swinging a car's radio antenna around, all be it an antenna that could slice someone in half. Even then it'll probably hurt you back, it's mean. I have 14 canes, and the Night Watchmen SK5 is arguably the best Sword cane I own. Very sharp blade. It's sharp although it could be sharper which is an easy fix. I could run my hand down the edge with no concern about getting cut, I'm talking duller than a butter knife. Clearly it can be sharpened as it is hardened, but in my view it is not sharp from the factory. Perhaps too effectively, as older users of diminished strength will certainly have difficulty drawing the sword when they need it. Good looking blade with an edge (not razor sharp, but not a butter knife edge like some have said). It is well worth the money.
Appears to be a basic cane nothing fancy which is what I wanted. Just what I was looking for! gave one to my disabled uncle and one to my handicap friend. Its appearance looks like a regular cane, so you can take it anywhere without looking suspicious.If I were ever in need of the blade, its a sturdy and long blade, I would use as a foil more than a broad sword. this is my 3rd one. For some of us, replacing the tip is going to be a "first thing to do" action, and a glued on tip is irritating. The sale price is about right.

Feels really solid, and it's not obvious to anyone that it might have a blade unless they already know what this particular cane is and what it looks like.
These rings do hold the sword in place very effectively. great to have incase of emergency epically if your in a gun free zone. I'm a martial art master with sixty years in the arts. And finally I had to tighten the bolts because it was very loose when it arrived. I'm a larger person and the cane is comfortable in use and the blade is solid as well. However that was easily remedied along with being able to adjust the height of the cane. The cane has enough mass and strength to defend yourself without even using the sword. I'm giving it 5 STARS. I have other sword canes, that rattle when I walk,my more expensive cane sword cannot compare to this night watchman. The only sword cane that appears to be of similar design and price is the cold steel heavy duty sword case. The blade is held to the handle with star fasteners. That state is Arizona.

Foot is a little slippery and I hoping it breaks in over time or i will just get a softer one. Even further, drawing this thing is a pain because the O rings keep a tight seal, which causes air suction while drawing, which requires a hole in the cane tip on the bottom. My question is if I can buy replacement O-rings for it because the ones that came with it need to be replaced. The edges of the cut are some what rough but, none the less it passed through unweighted, heavy card board with zero, and I mean zero resistance. I like the blade very much , I also like the balance, and the handle is perfect for a woman's hand. One of the things that makes this particular cane a good choice is that it looks like a cane. Also, I've discovered that you have to be careful and not let the sword fall out. The cane itself seems nice enough pretty solid the handle is nice has a nice point on it but to be honest very disappointed in the blade it's about as sharp as the backside of a butter knife I don't think you could cut anything with it you could probably give someone a nasty bruise but other than that I guess it's okay like I said it's okay but not great, Max Edge CLP Knife Lube - Use With All Blades, Long-Lasting, Inhibits Rust, Lifts Residue, Wont Dry Out - 1.5 Oz, Honshu Sword Oil - Provides Corrosion Protection, Easy-Application Spray Bottle, Deluxe Sword Cleaning And Maintenance Kit.

THOUGHT THE BLADE WAS WELL MADE AND HAS 3 SCREWS HOLDING IT ON, WHICH IS GOOD. You can stick this thing through an aluminum can with no problem with no damage to the tip. Also, In the tube, it's still a substantial defensive club. I like the blade very much , I also like the balance, and the handle is perfect for a woman's hand. So unless you want to spend MUCH more on a slightly higher quality cane sword I would recommend that you get this one. It's really balanced, and once I sharpen the blade, I'm sure it'll cut pretty well. I just purchased that Combat Commander Spartan sword. Incredibly pleased with this sword cane. The handle is made of grivory which is a reinforced polymer that is really durable. The blade is not razor sharp, it is factory edge (i.e. The blade is held to the handle with star fasteners. My though on this would be to remove the two lower rubber rings leaving only the one at the very top of the sword in place. There is one note I would make that others have also comment on. The item was shipped very promptly, packaged well, and delivered in a timely fashion. I'd recommend this to anyone. It's sturdy as a walking aid and the SK5 blade is devastating! I removed 2 1/2 of the aluminum cane using a pipe cuttera hacksaw would also do the jobI snipped off 1 of the hard foam insert and slide it back inside. For a thrust oriented blade, make mistake, it will cut just as well. Wish it had a retainer of some sort. this thing works so much better than even the one my Dr. gave me. Makes it a lot easier to draw, and doesn't make it any easier to fall out accidently. Nice simple look.

I ordered 2 Night watchman sword canes ,one for my uncle and one for myself. Enough said. THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, DON'T LIKE THE RUBBER ON THE BOTTOM, SLIDES ON HARD WOOD FLOOR, WILL BE CUTTING 2 INCHES OFF OF THE BOTTOM TO GET CORRECT HEIGHT. Right now, it's a wicked piercing weapon, with a round false edge. I needed to shorted it by 1.5 inches to be at the proper therapeutic height for me (I'm 5'9"). Keep the O-ring greased and it lasts longer.
Solid construction. The blade was fairly sharp. I'm disabled due to falling through a building and suffering multiple life altering permanant injuries in 1986 and now I need a Good Dependable cane for assistance.
I had to get the blade professionally sharpened by a local smith because obviously china or budk doesn't understand the meaning of razor sharp. But when I say heavy duty, I mean heavy period. For the money they should have sharpened it.

You can stick this thing through an aluminum can with no problem with no damage to the tip. The engraving is meticulously done.I am a very satisfied customer. Being a big guy, normal canes wear out quickly. I've dinged the aluminum cane part in 100 places, but nothing that can't be sanded and repainted. I just recieved it today, and just got done test cutting with it. The sword arrived with just the "factory edge" but it only took a little cleaning and sharpening to establish a good edge that it holds very well. First the blade is made of hardened high carbon steel. I think the false edge gives the point a little more strength. On the back side I has an edge that runs from the tip to a point about half way up the blade. One other thing, if you live in an area with cold fall/winter temperatures like I do, wrapping the top 3 of the cane with electrician tape keeps your finger(s) off the cold metal. Boy was I wrong. The "rubber" stopper on the bottom is not rubber, if you know what rubber is. No matter how tightly you screw it, the nylon material is a little flexible but extremely durable. The aluminum shaft is solid and gives the cane that extra heft. I had my eye on this sword cane for a while, and finally got around to buying one.
