In earlier times, back in the edwardian world of Dickens, Verne, and Gentleman Jack, a hat, cloak and cane were considered essential daily wear of the refined Gentleman. Unlike today, it was expected of a gentleman to be able to thwart the use of violence against his person, to be a protector of those in under his auspices, and to be skilled in the "manly arts" of weaponry and self defense. Training started early in boyhood.

This was an era of brutality and elegance, where human life mattered little and constant vigilance was required to survive. Duels by gun and sword were legal. Poverty, workhouses, servitude and hopelessness fed hatred from the have-nots. Having a weapon on hand in a split second meant the difference between life and death in a very real sense... it was in this world that the cane sword was forged.

It was simply considered prudent to carry one.

Today a sword cane is a decorative piece ONLY and should not be considered part of one's self defense kit. Great care must be taken to know the laws of the state you live in before you order as these may be considered a form of hidden weapon, and the carrying and owning of such weapons is highly regulated, banned, or restricted. You have been warned!
