How do you open a sword stick?

Most examples utilise a concealed release mechanism, such as a push button or a twist-lock collar, which disengages the internal catch securing the blade. Once released, the handle and blade pull straight out from the wooden scabbard shaft with a smooth linear motion.

What periods do these pieces date from?

The available selection primarily spans the late nineteenth century through to the Edwardian era and the 1920s. Victorian and Edwardian examples represent the peak period of popularity for gentlemanly self-defence accessories.

Are the blades marked?

Certain blades bear maker stamps or etched decoration, notably from Toledo or the British firm Wilkinson. Many other pieces feature plain utility steel blades without specific workshop signatures or stamps.

What materials are the handles made from?

Handles appear in a wide variety of materials including solid silver, silver plate, carved bone, horn, and porcelain. Other styles utilise natural root wood balls, crook shapes, or figural animal heads.
