I am looking for a well made cane sword (which I belive is the correct term). I am looking for one that has a sturdy rapier style blade that can stand a few hits. Preferably black with just a ball (possibly decorative) on top, no curve. if anyone would have any information about such a sword please notify me. At this point i am open to all reasonable prices

Here is a link for a newly manufactured ball handled carbon steel rapier.

Just click on the picture for a closeup.

If you're looking for an antique, I can't help you.

Edit-link brings you to the main page. Under "SEARCH" type "CANE". Click on "KNOB CANE", fourth item from the top.

First, no I can not help you with antiques. Secondly, that is not my website. It is Museum Replicas' website. Call them up and tell them you want to send a check. Here is the number. (800) 883-8838

On the website it doesn't state it, but in the catalog it does say rapier blade. Using rapier techniques might be hard with the ball grip/pommel. For rapier-like techniques I would get the Buffalo Horn Cane instead.

Edit: Thanks to Jesse Smithers for being so helpful. I'd encourage Josh Hibbs to make a post in the historic arms forum to start a discussion about this type of thing so as to encourage more info being exchanged.
