Product Description
The mythical dragon has captured the imagination of man for centuries. Asian folklore casts them as benign creatures, man's allies in a hostile world, or as symbols of imperial Chinese power, used as motifs on palace walls, and on soldier's breastplates. In the west, they were known to be fierce adversaries, fire breathing, cleaver beasts who rained destruction and leveled villages. The brave knight who slew one could return to his village after winning the hand of the fetching fair maiden he saved from the dragon's wrath. Legends aside, a dragon is a powerful creature possessed of extraordinary physical attributes, which command respect across the board. It is for this reason we have chosen to use the dragon as the inspiration for our latest walking stick. It is modeled after an intricately carved Dragon Stick from our President, Lynn C. Thompson's collection and is reproduced using expensive, hand engraved injection molds. The detailing is astonishing, with scales running the full length of the undulating shaft, and a fearsome face with snarling fangs, it is an imposing stick you'll be proud to be seen with on almost any occasion. It is fashioned, like many of our other walking sticks, from the highest grade of high impact Polypropylene available, assuring its imperviousness to the elements and guaranteeing it is virtually indestructible. Black in color and sinuous in shape and form, it offers light to medium support and a number of grip options making it unusually suitable as an aid to balance as well as a powerful ally in an emergency self defense situation.

I have been looking for a cane with a right-angle handle for sometime. I am a teacher at a multi-storied high school and must climb and walk down stairs most of the day. This cane has proven to be just what I have been looking for.
I have owned and used Cold Steel canes for a number of years. The right -angled handle allows a secure grip, especially for use on the stairs. It is large and heavy enough to support a large man like me but still not too heavy to use all day.
It is also a very interest cane with great detail that is often noticed - many of my students have comment that it looks "cool." I have used (and still own)the City Stick, African Walking Stick, and Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick and find this to be the best cane to date. Cost is reasonable. It will not be for everyone as it is large, but for those looking for something beyond an old wooden cane or the plastic drug store cane this is for you. Cold Steel Dragon Walking Stick

I love Cold Steel Waliking Sticks. I actually used one to discourage a mugging in Vegas a few years ago. This is my 4th cold steel stick. I own the city stick, African walking stick , the Blackthorn, and I just received this one for Christmas.
It is a formidable, heavy duty piece of equipment, but from Cold Steel, that is no surprise.
There are two aspects that keep me from rating this 5 stars. The first is the lack of a rubber foot cap for walking. I can't imagine anyone needing a walking stick NOT wanting or needing this cap for traction. The other negative is all of the sharp edges on the handle. I think they could have rounded the head and neck of the dragon and smoothed the teeth in the mouth area so they didn't dig and cut into the hand while walking.
Don't get me wrong I love this stick but in order to make it usable I will have to go buy a rubber cap and smooth the edges myself. So I give Cold Steel an A on the concept and a C-minus on the execution and attention to detail.

1) Some of these guys don't know HOW to measure correctly. This POLYPROPYLENE cane is 3' 2&1/2" or simply 38&1/2" to be exact!... 2) As the Rubber Tips I've gotten the 1 inch for my cane, and it fits just fine... 3) Finally, if you're less than 5'11" tall YES this cane may be too long for you unless it's trimmed to your satisfaction... Overall: HEAVY, STURDY, and like it so that I give this "COOL DRAGON" cane A+!

Good size and weight for balance.

Poor construction
Great detail and weight. But the head came un- glued after two months of use. Good for show but not for go.

Better not need a rubber tip
I purchased this cane because of its unusual design, which is very pleasing to the eye. I had ordered 'standard' rubber tips to go with it from Amazon (1", two for $5.29). Read more

Excellent detail, great durability
My favorite of the Cold Steel polypropylene family. The end measurement is one inch, so use that size crutch foot and you're good to go. Read more
