I have dispensed with knives in public places, most times.
Now I simply have my walking stick
6 foot long, hard wood
With a rubber foot on the bottom end.
Completely legal
Devastating when used by someone trained in boe staff fighting.
Which 18 years of martial arts probably qualifies.
Other simple, yet legal means include
Bunch of keys
6 inches of broom handle
Metal pen
Stainless steel drink container
The list is endless
And with a little training, it's surprising what you can do.
I have added another staff to my collection.
5 foot 4 inches, with a hook at the top.
Leather wrapped handgrip 3/4 up from the base.
Classically carved from the bottom to the handle.
Picked it up in an antique shop called a "Hammacher Schlemmer"
Scottish late 18th century.
Beautiful piece of work, if a little dented.
I plan to refurbish it as my new stick.
