Quick Sizing Guide

If this cane offers free sizing (look for the checkbox under "Add to Cart"), it's optional: choose your height, or skip it and your cane ships at its standard length.

Not sure? Order the standard length. Most canes can be shortened at home once you know the right size.

Cut canes can be exchanged, with a $15 restocking fee.

Adjustable canes set to your height, and fixed-length canes (like sword canes) can't be cut. Their fit is listed under Product Details.

3 ways to find your cane length
1. Measure the cane user (most accurate) Tap to open
Measuring from the wrist crease to the floor

In walking shoes, stand upright with arms relaxed at your sides, and measure from the wrist crease to the floor. A second person reading the tape gives the best result.

If your measurement is exactly a whole or half inch (like 34" or 34½"), order that size. If it's in between (like 34¼"), round up to the next half inch (34½").

2. Measure a cane that already fits Tap to open

Measure from the lowest point on top of the handle to the bottom of the tip. Use your exact measurement if it's a whole or half inch. Otherwise, round up to the next half inch.

3. Estimate from your height Tap to open

Your cane length is about half your height. Example: 5'6" is 66 inches, so 33". It works for most people but isn't exact, so measure when your cane arrives.

Shortening it yourself

Most canes can be shortened at home. Remove the tip, cut the extra length off the bottom, and put the tip back on. Canes can be shortened but not lengthened. Don't cut umbrella, sword, or seat canes, or any cane marked not to be sized.

Why Customers Love It
Customers say this decorative cane is beautifully crafted with elegant details and solid construction. Many reviews mention its distinguished appearance and quality craftsmanship. While primarily valued as a display piece or costume accessory, some note the handle isn't ideal for extended walking support. Several users mention the length could be better, with some finding it slightly tall. Reviews frequently praise its sturdy build and detailed design elements.

    Sword walking stick.

    It’s nice looking but not worth the price.

    Dr Watson's Panache!

    Light weight, sturdy, fun to handle, and gets the kind of attention a gentleman may desire in a walking stick. This is for fashion and show.

    Someone looking for walking support should consider another model. The lion's head does not allow for a comfortable grip when placing force on it as a cain.

    I love everything I have bought from you!

    I love my new cane. It gives me the steadiness I need and some added security as well. I love everything I have ordered from you. I loved my walking stick so much I bought one for my brother---now maybe he will stop picking on me; 74 years of it is quite enough.
