As with all things from Cold Steel this is a solid item. Not overly heavy, but it also doesn't feel like a toy. You MUST put a 1" rubber cap on the end if you intend on being inside with it. Tile, vinyl, and wood floors will be the death of you if you try to use this to walk with and haven't installed a 1" rubber cap on the tip. (I found mine in the furniture footing section at Wal-mart with the "coasters" that go under furniture to protect your carpet or hardwood flooring.) I'm 6'1" and it's too long for me to use as a cane in the recommended manner - but that's not really what it's for. I bought it for my Mother-in-Law who is about 5'5" and she will use it mostly to walk to the end of her driveway and retrieve the mail. She had been having problems with stray dogs and just wanted something she could keep between her and the dogs. Certainly, if needed, this would make an excellent baseball bat type defensive weapon without looking like you're carrying around a baseball bat! Good stuff at a reasonable price and the place I got it from shipped it quickly. Can't ask fro much more than that!Read full review

I never would have bought it if Id have seen it in person. The ball is ridiculously large, about the size of a baseball. My wife looks like shes going hunting for brontosaurus with this thing. She took it walking in suburbia one time. Its more of a weapon than a stick. Its a bat really. Not the thing to go for a leisurely stroll with. Your neighbors will thing you are looking for the dog that mauled yours. If I walked around remote woods I might take it to fight off wild pigs and crack heads. Otherwise you just look weird carrying it.

Very sturdy and reliable. I added Cane Tips (7/8 Inch, Black) to make the bottom even less slippery. It's just the perfect walking, hiking stick for the rugged Sierra Nevada and more at a great price.

This is a good item and the price was excellent. I have hip surgery coming up. I don't like a cane with a hooked handle. It was too long for me so I cut 3" off the end and sanded the cut corners to make it perfect. A 1" cane tip fits right on it. It'll last a lifetime.

Well made and very stout. Too heavy for use as an actual walking stick Fine for a defensive weapon against dogs or people, but very heavy. It's almost like carrying a baseball bat. I would like it much better if it were about 1/3 lighter.
