Many years ago walking cane was not just a beautiful accessory. It was used by many ways: for keeping perfumes or alcohol or even for self-defense. In this blog we want to tell you about a cane self-defense and cane sword history.
A cane self-defense and cane sword history
During the eighteenth, nineteenth, and early twentieth centuries, America could be a dangerous place, and knowledge of self-defense was often necessary for use in both urban and rural environments. To those ends, fencing masters and instructors often modified and applied fencing techniques to the cane or walking stick, creating their own systems of self-defense. This article proposes to look at various methods of cane defense, taught by fencing masters and instructors, that were specifically intended for practical use in self-defense encounters in the everyday world.
The individuals who taught such techniques hailed from a variety of backgrounds—from England, France, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Belgium, Denmark, and Germany—and specifically discussed the cane’s efficacy in defending against other potentially deadly weapons such as the sword, sword-cane, stick, dirk, Spanish knife, Bowie knife, bayonet-rifle, boarding pike, and revolver. These fencing methods were applied to canes both with and without hooks, and included techniques designed to defend against multiple attackers, variously utilizing both single and double-handed grips.

About a cane sword
Cane sword, also known as sword cane, is a combination of two things, a cane and a sword. It is basically a wooden cane or a wooden stick, and a blade is concealed inside it.
The sword remains hidden unless you pull it out. There is a push button or a similar device that is used for unlocking the blade.
When you unlock the cane, you can easily pull the blade out. When needed, pull the blade out, otherwise, keep it concealed within the cane. A cane sword was invented during the 18th century. It was a popular gentleman's accessory during that time. It was known as a sword stick and it was carried by wealthy people.
The upper class men routinely carried it to practice swordsmanship. It represented wealth and privilege. Also, it was a weapon for self defense.
It is believed that sword cane was invented in Europe. However, it was used in the Asian subcontinent and Japan for similar purposes during the 18th and 19th centuries.
A cane sword is an incredible thing that is not new. It was invented a long time ago, but today, it is extremely popular.
