Have had this cane for about two years and love it, it's nice, sturdy, good weight and the blade is great. I actually use this cane every day and due to the injury I have to use it for the rest of my life, but in daily use sometimes if I'm limping a little more than usual the cane will fall off or the handle will actually fall off exposing what's underneath Tang screw. I think if I put a dowel in the bottom of the handle I could solve this problem. So all in all if you want this cane I highly recommend it but if you are using it every day make sure you keep an extra agent at home
