They are fashionably smooth in character and are bent or shaped on occasion to create the smooth look and design. Although it is not made to handle a lot of stress or higher weight bearing limits. The cane is designed as a good leaning device and walking assistant, can be used on the left or right and will have a neat rubber tip for added traction and stability. The Alpaca cane is the exception to the rule of the tourist cane as a simple cane that works well for most occasions and adorns House when he needs to step up his style and be a little more fashionable and present his best side.
The skull cane is a knob style cane handle that benefits those who need a light cane with support and works well as a leaning device.

If the therapist had a choice, she would probably take this cane from House as well. While it is quite attractive, it is not the right cane for a realistic condition as suffered by House.
