Piraticalbob,
Thanks for your input with your experience with the Cold Steel version of a blackthorn.
I too have found that a round knob-like handle on a cane might be best used for a person needing a cane to support weight a great deal. I almost bought another knob-handled blackthorn, but figured that my hip condition was improving with the surgeries. I have an oak hame-handled BubbaStik that I used a lot when I needed a cane to hold me up... and it is a good cane, and got a lot of compliments! I have the sharp-pointed ice-grabber tip, too. I found that the chrone hame end was a bit of weight to haul around when I didn't need to use it for weight-bearing, so I re-adopted the blackthorn for it's easy carrying.
