My condolences about your father . Cold Steel blackthorn cane are Real tough.
Google Canes and you can spend as much as you want.I'm 24 years old, but I messed my knees up in high school. Every once in a while, they'll flare up something fierce and it's a whole lot easier on me to walk with a cane for a couple days. I don't mind it all that much, to be honest. I can get around okay without it, but it does take some of the load off and speed the recovery back to normal. Worst flare up I had was about 2 years ago, and I spent almost 2 full weeks walking with one of my sticks. That was not a pleasant episode.
I rather like the look of a well made cane, and I sort of wish a "walking cane" was still considered a fashionable accessory for a well-dressed gentleman. Between me, my dad and grandad, we have a rather large collection of canes, some of them very old.
The ones I been getting are nice and well made. They are Shepherd Hardware Products .Deltaboy
Great idea. I`ll give it a try. Thanks!
He may be like me, I'm Fine then oh what happened. On good days I am fine but it can go South then very next step.Saw a young man hoofing it at a fast pace down along the road the other day. He had a cane. I chuckled and mentioned to my buddy that THAT cane was not carried to assist in his walking.
I can hoof it at a quite good speed on level ground, but on a slope, or stairway, at just the wrong-for-me grade, my right knee can suddenly let me down. Therefore, my "sometimes" reply to the poll, I live in a flatland, coastal prairie environment, so normally only need a stick when heading inland.Saw a young man hoofing it at a fast pace down along the road the other day.
