This unassuming walking stick conceals a deadly secret: a finely blued, gilded and engraved 23" assassin's blade, adorned with names and an intricately etched bird. What sets this cane apart is its hidden, retractable metal shaft, keeping the weapon concealed within the elegant horn knob handle. Topped with a gold cartouche bearing the owner's initials, the blade remains entirely hidden until the ferrule is discreetly removed, allowing the assassin to strike swiftly and silently—without ever drawing a blade.
