Sword cane

The sword cane is a weapon disguised as a fashion accessory. Its use soared at the time of the French Revolution, when governments began to control or ban duels by prohibiting the carrying of edged weapons.

In the 19th century it benefited from the craze for the cane as a dress accessory and was all the rage during the Belle Époque.

These canes are made from classical fencing blades, modern épée or foil blades. The canes themselves are made of walnut, but other woods can be used. Pommels, collars and ferrules can be made in any metal, plain or decorated, and can even include accessories such as watches… The cane can be octagonal or round in section.

The blades are neither sharpened nor pointed so that they cannot be used as weapons; they are standard sport fencing blades. Please note that carrying a concealed edged weapon is still prohibited by law.

The blade can be replaced by a glass flask ready to hold any drink of your choice.
