Snake Eye Tactical Pewter Design Handle Walking Cane w/Small Handle Storage, No Blade, 34.5" Overall (Dragon #2)

Good product, cap on bottom too soft - wears nearly immediately.

This item was to be a gifted replacement of the original cane fitted with a screw handle and faux sword that the owner was not originally aware of. I was thrilled to find the identical cane here on Amazon that has been loved for years by the owner, so it was beyond frustrating and embarrassing to learn that only after a literal couple days of it being owned, the handle broke!! When I got to see it, there were pieces of the "metal work" that covered the threading of the handle inside to keep what normally would screw on top of the cane, in to what amounts to a temporary position. There were pieces of the "metal" clinking around inside what was advertised as a storage area yet it was designed to NOT screw open ever. Also inside I could see it's the same exact "faux sword" handle with the sword removed and replaced with VERY shotty "metal work" that was poorly done and simply not safe even for normal use. To add insult to injury since I picked it up a couple works before I was able to give the gift out of fear of them running out of stock, I was told by their customer support there is nothing they can do since it broke after their short warranty period. I practically begged and pleaded for a non-defective replacement after explaining to them how it broke right after the first few days of being used. Unfortunately they made it very clear that they were not able to nor interested in trying to correct this travesty since their short "warranty" period had by then had past. I felt intentionally wronged and taken advantage of, as well as silly for not having read more in to the reviews as I learned MANY others have had these same issues. The warranty period for this product feels to be in place because it is known to fail very soon after in many cases which feels wreckless in my opinion especially with there being well documented known problems with their design that's made for people that needs a walking cane, not a overpriced novelty gag gift. The owner could have been seriously hurt as it broke while they were just walking normally. They have had the original cane with the faux sword for literal years and has still not failed, however, they needed a cane without the fake sword inside so they can get into places without worry or confusion like at an airport. I will add a photo later to bring more attention to this review when time permits. Thank you for reading, and I sincerely hope this helps anyone who might be considering this cane without the faux sword as your money might be better spent on something without this easy potential for danger and being left without a cane that can be used at all.
