  • Why do you carry a cane? We thought we would ask the same question of Cane Masters LLC President and Master Cane Maker Keith Melton.

    This excellent video does NOT needany kind of background "music" - it serves no purpose. It is annoying at best and should never be used while narrating. Otherwise, the clear and cleanly spoken narration was one of the best I have heard on TH-cam.

      Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your kind words about the narration. We understand that not everyone enjoys background music, and we will certainly take your preference into consideration for future videos. Our goal is to create content that is enjoyable and informative for all viewers, so we value your input.

    There are also the advantages of FEWER legal hassles in the event of an encounter (you're not so liable for damages as with a gun) It has REACH advantages-- and that reach advantage also gives you a SPEED advantage... (the end of the cane is moving FASTER than your hands and increases power of the strike) , and you can take it ANYWHERE.. NO ammo to carry is there would be with a gun- NO PERMITS to get as with a gun- Makes it EASIER to handle multiple attackers. and one thing you for SURE won't get with a gun- cane is STYLISH!!! (beautiful designs, etc. ) and SO much more.

    Agree with your reason #1 - Mobility, #2 - as a non-lethal defensive means, #3 - I can carry a cane everywhere, I can't carry a cop, afford a body guard 24/7, or a sidearm or rifle everywhere for defending myself or my family, #4 - I can allow my grandchildren to handle it and show them how to protect themselves safely without injuring themselves.....well, at least minimize the chances of them hurting themselves.

    For decades I was trying to solve Dan Inisantos' 21' rush.
    The one time I was attacked, in an unscheduled training, I had to use hand to use my hand, I had a report in my other hand. Once it registered I was about to "stop" the scenerio.
    The teaining officers yield "Stop!!!". T.O. asked me some questions after failing to get inside twice.
    Separate incident- I was reprimanded for going for my thin straight preferred baton when a person drew a knife.
    I was always trouble why the other guys would go for their g*ns right away.
    You solved the 21' question. Thank you so much, I was on the right track without knowing it.

    Concealed carry cowboys are why I started to carry a cane. I've lost count of how many loudmouths have had their unloaded edc skid across the floor because they couldn't shut up about being hardass and I called them on it. Being underestimated is one of my greatest weapons.

    I have 2 of your canes, one in each vehicle, for the same reasons you do. I also found out that there isn’t enough room, for two people, to assist a third person that has fallen. With the assistance of the cane, it can be offered to the fallen person, to latch hold of, and will be determined by the fallen person, weather an ambulance should be called, or not. My 92 year old mother thought she was going to sit down on a bench, which wasn’t there, and ended up, sliding down the wall, instead. Two people in their 70’s, will have great difficulty assisting someone on the floor, because of lack of room to reach her at the same time, and could inadvertently injure her, without knowing. The notches on your cane help with gripping, from either end. Thanks, Vietnam Vet, 1968, 173 rd Airborne Brigade.

    Let's not forget, that a cane was always carried by English gentlemen, the length and breadth of the British empire, defending one's owner from rabid dogs on the streets of Calcutta , deadly vipers in Malaysian rubber plantations to the various miscreants that plagued Victorian London streets.

      Our canes are mobility tools and are protected in the US by HIPPA and ADA. Any tool may be used legally as intended, or with bad behavior may serve as a weapon. A baseball bat is legal to own and use properly... but in the wrong hands may become a weapon. However, it is the irresponsible actions of the user that is prosecutable.

    If you use a cane-- you will NOT accidentally SHOOT THROUGH the attacker and kill an innocent person behind them--- and are NOT as likely as going to jail as with a gun - which is an automatic jail time till the court date. IF some fool is video taping the incident- the cane- in court- LOOKS DEFENSIVE-- the gun is AUToMATICALLY figured as OFFENSIVE and is up to YOU to prove otherwise. YOU do NOT need to conceal it- as with a gun.. and you can EXERCISE with it as a tool.. (kinda tricky to do with a gun!)
