I made a cool cane for a MB enthusiast with a bad back
My good buddy CLK Man supplied me with the bottom two sections of an old pool stick and I found a cool MB shifter knob on eBay that I was able to secure to the stick as a handle with some creative alterations. The two halves still unscrew at the lower band for easy storage when not being used.
 Pics: The finished MB Cane:   My 4 year old modeling it for size comparison.   I may still buy a rubber cane tip for the bottom so it doesn't slip out while he uses it.

Curse you and your creativity and your talents, now you're just rubbing it in!
 (Outstanding work as usual, Chad!)

Nice! This should be standard equipment on the Mercedes Benz GOF (Grumpy Old Fart) package!

These are decidedly more expensive than a standard cane tip but soo worth it.
Even better if LED's are added to it. http://www.superiorcanetip.com/ http://www.dutchguard.com/self-standing-walking-cane-tip-p-CANE.html

That's pretty nice. Reminds me of fighting sticks, knobkierries, and general mayhem. I can hear the crack off the offender's skull when I come out swinging with the short end. I hit him with my cane, not a weighted pool cue!

Can you redesign it with some good long barrel, single shot would be fine, you dont want some thug getting within striking distance.
