Similar as in same cane same or similar blade with writing. Of course I have seen canes with hidden blades but none like this one. And I buy and sell antiques on the regular. Just weird I haven't seen any. But that's just me I'm sure someone has seen one or two that is why I asked. Thanks
Thanks for the info everyone. My only question is if these where sold as tourist items why haven't I come across anything even close to it ? I have had this for about 30 years and have research it through the years and have found absolutely nothing similar. You figure if these where for tourists you could find them easily. ? Again I do appreciate the information.
My name's Wally and I am new to the forum. I just wanted a little advice and info on this cane with a hidden blade. I have had this for years and am deciding to have it restored. But before I do I wouldn't mind opinions and info on maker. Quality of the blade seems very good it is triangluer the blade is about 22" long maybe shorter I haven't pulled the pin in handle yet to check. There are maker marks I came up with Sanjo kokaji munechicka ? Can anyone confirm that ? The cane is 34 1/2" tall. The wood definitely needs repair just some glueing and refinishing. Blade just needs some minor clean up Thanks in advance if anyone knows anything. Thank you.
