Canes serve a very practical purpose in that they assist with balance and stability for anyone that may have the need. However, most canes aren’t really all that fashionable, which is where fancy walking canes come in.
These beautifully designed fancy walking canes come in a variety of woods, colors, designs and styles, perfect for any tastes. Since there are so many styles, including formal walking canes for those very special events, it is not going to be difficult to find several that you will want to have on hand.
Features to Consider in Fancy Walking Canes
There are two different aspects to consider with fashionable canes and those are the shaft and the handle. In some styles of fancy walking canes this is made from a single piece of wood or a single type of wood which gives a natural, rustic type of cane that is still beautiful looking in its simplicity.
Then, you also have the handle to consider. In many of the formal walking canes you will find an ebony or maple shaft or perhaps another hardwood, combined with a metal handle. These can range silver or silver and nickel combinations shaped as different animals or handle designs. The silver and nickel combination is often considered the optimal as it has the beauty of silver but with the nickel alloy it won’t tarnish and is much more durable and scratch resistant.
These elegant handle canes can also be made of special resin that allows an incredible amount of detail to the handle design. Other handle options include the knob type of handle, perfect for men or women, as well as the very traditional derby handle design.
Going All Out
For those special events some companies offer amazing fashionable canes that feature 14K gold plated handles, sterling silver handles, jeweled handles and even an amazing facet crystal handle.
Choosing the right fancy walking canes is going to be difficult, not because you don’t have choices but because you have too many. In fact, collecting these walking canes often becomes a passion and the canes become treasured keepsakes and remembrances for generations to come.
