FAQs

Sword sticks became popular concealment weapons in the 19th century amongst gentlemen for personal protection while walking urban streets at night.

Authentic pieces typically feature Malacca cane shafts, steel blades, and handles carved from bone, horn, ivory, or cast metal.

Authenticity is determined by hand-forged steel blades with period-appropriate patina, quality joinery of the locking mechanisms, and natural wear to the shaft.

Display the item securely mounted on a wall bracket or within a locked glass cabinet to highlight its craftsmanship while ensuring safety.

Apply a microcrystalline wax or light mineral oil to the metal surfaces periodically to prevent rust, and avoid harsh chemical cleaners on organic handle materials.
