A retired Rhodesian precison machinist makes these for us and his tremendous skill comes through in every one of these unique pieces. The Sword Cane is approximately 36” overall. It features exceptional fit and finish and has a concealed trigger mechanism that you simply pull towards you to release the blade. A matching exotic wood spacer conceals the trigger. The spacer is consistent with the other design elements, so only you will know it is there. The three edged, stainless steel, 12” long circular push dagger has a razor sharp tip.
The rest of the Sword Cane is identical to our Scrimshawed “Big Five” cane. The handle is a hand polished, trophy sized warthog tusk that flows into the shaft for a flawless and attractive transition. The tusk has a shallow, flat cut made along one side. This flat surface is scrimshawed with a very detailed image depicting all of the African “Big Five”. The hand turned, exotic wood shaft incorporates several decorative elements and features a very beautiful and substantial piece of exotic wood that darkens with age. These beautiful pieces exhibit flawless workmanship and the scrimshaw work is excellent. We selected four of Africa’s most striking exotic woods for their unique visual characteristics, color and character. The order of the descriptions below follows the order shown in the photo: i.e. Leadwood is the top.
Leadwood-a very dense, dark brown wood with black striping and interesting graining that sinks in water…hence the name.
Rhodesian Teak- recognized worldwide as one of the most beautiful and durable exotic woods. A light toned, red wood that can have black stripes running through it for a stunning look. The same wood they used to lay the railroad from Cape Town to Salisbury (Harrare) over 100 years ago.
Tambooti-a light brown wood that usually features dark and light striping. A very attractive, dense wood that has a cedar type scent when freshly cut.
Kiatt- an almond colored, straight-rained wood that is very dense and uniform. It exhibits a similar look to the outside layers (the darker ones) of hickory and is the most affordable sword cane we offer.
These canes afford you extra protection if you encounter any four or two legged vermin. Order yours today and start enjoying the outstanding artisanship built into every one.

Please note that all models of our Ivory Canes are for display purposes only and are not for use by individuals who have a medical, degenerative or other condition that requires the use of a cane. While very durable, ivory is brittle and can snap off if used in a load bearing application. For this reason, do not lean on any of the ivory canes or use them for support while walking.
