Cold Steel Dragon Walking Stick

cool knives
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.

The mythical dragon has captured the imagination for centuries. Asian folklore cast dragons as benign creatures, man's allies in a hostile world, or as symbols of imperial Chinese power, used as motifs on palace walls and soldier's breastplates. In the west, they were known to be fierce adversaries -- fire-breathing, cleaver beasts. A dragon is universally viewed as a powerful creature, possessed of extraordinary physical attributes. It's for this reason Cold Steel has chosen to use the dragon as inspiration for its latest walking sticks.

Modeled after a similar, intricately-crafted walking stick from the personal collection of Cold Steel President Lynn Thompson, it's reproduced using hand-engraved injection molds. The detail work is impressive, with scales running the entire length of the wavy stick, topped with a fearsome-looking, snarling dragon head. It's fashioned from high-grade polypropylene, as attractive as it is impervious to the elements.

The eye-catching walking stick is capped by an iconic dragon head adornment.
