FAQs

An Edwardian sword cane is a walking stick featuring a concealed metal blade within the shaft, popular among gentlemen during the early 20th century for personal defence and fashion.

Traditional sword canes typically utilise malacca, bamboo, or exotic hardwoods for the shaft, paired with sterling silver, brass, or horn handles, and forged steel for the internal blade.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period hallmarks on the silver mounts, hand-forged steel blades with natural oxidisation, and construction methods consistent with early 1900s craftsmanship.

An antique sword cane can be displayed mounted vertically in a corner display stand or within a traditional umbrella holder to add historical character to a study or hallway.

Preservation involves storing the item in a temperature-controlled environment away from direct sunlight, periodically applying microcrystalline wax to the wooden shaft, and lightly oiling the steel blade to prevent corrosion.
