Sword Cane/Analysis

File this under Awesome but Impractical. The sword cane's effectiveness as a weapon is greatly overestimated. In Real Life, they usually have short, flimsy blades that are very slow to draw since you have to manually screw the handle off, which can be a dangerous waste of time if you actually need to defend yourself. And then there's the fact that sword canes are even illegal in many areas. You're generally better off just bludgeoning someone with a normal, solid cane.
