Hey All,
Just thought I'd add this, I would have wanted someone to tell me if they found these: Some of you may be wanting to purchase a walking cane to help with your recovery. About 10 days ago, I began searching the web for exotic, unusual, and premium canes, as I knew I'd be needing one soon. (I'm not there yet, but hopefully within a week or so...). Anyway, I spent several hours looking, and the majority of them looked the same. I finally found a website of canes and walking sticks created by an East European (Russian? not sure...) Artist named Boris Palatnik. I'm not trying to promote him and his work for any other reason that his canes are handmade works of art, and fantastic! I, myself, wanted something better than the average cane, and for those of you that can afford it, you should definitely check them out. They are not cheap, (average between $275-$600 U.S. Dollars), but even if you can't afford them, go to the website anyway. Being on a law enforcement salary, I really can't either, but after looking, I just HAD to have one! There are 26 different designs, one with many different options to suit anyone, including men and women both. After much decision, I finally decided on the Elephant, made of German Silver, (70% Copper, 30% Nickel), with 24Karat Gold plate on the toes, backsaddle, and tusks. The Elephant is mounted on your choice of 3 different type balls, (I chose the Green Snakestone, but he offers Black Granite, and yellow green onyx for that particular cane), and that is mounted on the cane itself, which is either Ebony wood, or Rose wood, or Iron wood. I got the Ebony. I also got the sword cane option, which is about an extra $100, but for me, it was worth it. (Most states the sword is illegal, but I'm LE, so, it's ok). He has many different styles that could suit anyone, including crook, ball, etc, and cougars, tigers, snakes, horses, etc. Anyway, each cane is made to order, and the guy has been making them for over 30 years, but I'm still anxiously awaiting mine. I wrote him an email to ask for a slight hopefull discount, (I said I was LE, and just had major surgery, and he called me personally the next day to discuss it); he gave me a 10% discount, so every cane is negotiable! I'm so excited! I can't wait to get it, and it should be here by the end of next week, or early the week after. I already know that this cane will become a treasured family heirloom, and I will cherish it until I pass it on to my (hopefully Son. Don't have kids yet, but trying!)
Ok, I've blabbed enough. If you are at all interested, I wanted to share what I found, and check it out for yourself.
I don't know the exact website, just do a search engine for "designer canes" and/or "Boris Palatnik". Please reply personally if you found one you like, and if you're getting one too!
