Canes coming back

How do you help someone look sophisticated for a minimum of cost? How about a walking cane as a gift idea.

It seems that walking canes are making a comeback. Canes not only for dress-up occasions, but for outdoor sporting events with a built-in seat. Or a special hiking cane for those intrepid hikers. Folding canes for storage while on the subway or bus. Antique canes. Wooden handled canes. Just about every kind of cane is available.

Two that I haven't been able to find are the one with a solid silver handle used by Larry Talbot to fight out the werewolf, and one with a hidden sword found in old murder mystery stories.

I'm still looking.
