That's good. Old bikers never die, they just hobble away.

If you can't find one like Al describes, contact the Mfr of the ASP expandable police baton.
Could be they can run one to your specs.

A freind of mine actually took the idea of a leather rifle scabbard and modified it to mount on his forks to hold his cane.Looks cool and his cane is easily accessible.

If that black pvc has all sort of text all over it, go break some glass. Any old window pane or bottle works. Select a piece with a curve in the break at the edge. On a scrap piece of black pvc scrap a few strokes, then flip thje glass over and repeat. One side will scrap a lot better and cleaner than the other.

This is where the term "smooth as glass" comes from, a sort of pre-sandpaper, when a plane was more common that sand paper was.

This is how I make split out ash bows to shoot arrows, and how i make black powder , powder horns.

If the effect works to your liking that pvc pipe could work out well.

Back East there has been a tradition for nearly 200 years, maybe it's older. Paul Revere made a cane called 'The Boston Post Cane' i am not sure of the wood type, but think it might be ebony. It has silver trimmings and a silver knob. I have seen this behind glass, so I can't say if the top knob is solid, but I doubt it.

The tradition comes from when anyone said to be deserving turns 100 years old that they gat to keep the cane 1 year , or until another person said to be deserving turns 100.

As of late the town where the person lives gets to place the glass front case on the wall in a town hall, so that is how I get to see it.

If and when, I need a cane it's gonna be a hawk with a extra long handle

With my back as it is, sometimes I do need a cane now, and sometimes 2 at the same time, but not always. What i used now is sticks I find in the woods, that havve a natural handle turning that suits me, and i just glass scrap off the bark and cut them to lenght apx 32.5 inch.

That's it no varnish no poly, no grounding tips. My last best one I gave to a female friend of mine with a bad broken ankle (some clay based surgery took place, what ever that is ???) almost a year ago. At first she didn't like it, but it grew on her I guess. She limped around more at Muster in the Mountians for a while not using it, but once she started to use it it worked well. At the end of the event she didn't want to give it back, so I let her have it, telling her that if she was done with by this coming muster I would be happy to have it back, but if not, no big deal.
