Swordstick information


Wood sword cane of Jean Baptiste Faribault

A swordstick or cane-sword is a cane containing a hidden blade or sword. The term is typically used to describe European weapons from around the 18th century. But similar devices have been used throughout history, notably the Roman dolon,[1] the Japanese shikomizue and the Indian gupti.
