This cane has a Nickel-Plated Comfort Fritz Handle, which is also known as a Crutch Handle, with stylized engraved feather design. The comfort style means that the handle is slightly more arched and wider to provide a fuller grip feeling in the palm. The Nickel-Plated Handle is hollow in order to keep the cane at a comfortable carrying weight. The shaft is made of solid Beech Wood. Beech Wood is known to be close and even in texture, hard, fairly strong, and durable. This elegant cane has an ebony-stained shaft, which has been lacquered with a clear coat to protect the wood. The maximum length is 37", but it can be cut to size. It is supplied with a Rubber Tip and comes with a gift box. This cane is designed, produced, and assembled exclusively by a small family-owned company in Italy.
