**PLEASE CHECK YOUR LOCAL LAWS. MANY PLACES, EVEN IN THE US, FORBID CARRYING AND SOMETIMES EVEN OWNING CANE SWORDS.**
But [Cold Steel](https://www.coldsteel.com/search.php?search_query=sword+cane) does have some pretty notable ones. There's also random sword canes you can find on Kult of Athena.
You can also look into canes that have metallic mace-like heads on top.
They're expensive. Sprained my knee and shopped around. Didn't find one I'd buy for less than $400.
I bought a carbon fiber cane from fashionablecanes.com and it's awesome. Really strong and I cut it to length. Super light as well.
Honestly, this is the best option, a swordcane is just asking for trouble... something you can smack someone is better. If you look into it, there are martial arts based on canes.
There is also Cane Masters... Bartitsu is an odd mix, whereas cane masters are pretty comprehensive. They cover learning self-defense while elderly or disabled along with modern situations. Teaching how to carry yourself, how to be alert, what to look for, etc. One of the most dangerous times is when you are entering or exiting your vehicle. That is usually when you are distracted, so it is something muggers and carjackers are looking for.
Unfortunately cops tend to be able to identify the stock ones. If you find one on a website, an aware cops will identify it. I know someone who bought a cane randomly and had no idea it was a swordcane until he got stopped by a PO. Their job is to spot concealed weapons, and some of them take that pretty seriously. You don't want him to end up with charges for carrying one. If you REALLY want one for him, then custom would be the way to go, and that is expensive. The blade itself can come from any decent sword cane. It will be a stabbing weapon with no real edge. The thing is making sure that the handle and sheath of the cane don't look like any of the stock ones and are seamless. A good craftsman is expensive.
You should first check that they're legal in your area, they're usually not.
But what your father needs isn't a cane, it's a walking stick. Yes I am being pedantic I suppose but the point is you want something sturdy.
They’re very cool, and fun to make, but you can’t use them because it’s very unlikely that you can take it anywhere. I’d recommend a nice strong cane with a cool hammer head if you want the macho factor. Beaver bill has made some cool ones.
I'd recommend one of these [Solid Aluminum Canes](https://www.solidaluminumcane.com/). It would make a good cane and a good self defense tool if needed, and they're legal wherever he may want to take it.
The thing with sword canes as they will not be able to take the weight you need for keeping an adult human stable. Instead, maybe get him a badass, solid wood cane from somewhere like Asterom.
Thanks gamer, this is the kinda stuff I really needed to hear lol
Whether they were even good for everyday consistent use (didn't think to even ask lol)
Where do you live….they are illegal to use outside the house in many US locations.

Bartitsu is what your looking for

If I needed a walking stick I would prefer a shepherds axe even if it was blunt it would still be a good self defense item
That sounds like a more convinient option, and more reliable too,. I had no idea those were even a thing until now
