This cane has an Opera Handle, also known as an L-shaped Handle, in sophisticated Alpacca Silver. It is available for both Gentlemen and Ladies. The L-Shape Handle has a very sleek design and it is crafted from Alpacca. Alpacca Metal is an alloy of sterling silver with nickel added to increase its strength and prevent excessive tarnishing. The beautiful L-Shape Handle is mounted on a tapered maple wood shaft in ebony stain. Maple wood is known to be hard and durable. It is also the wood of choice used for the production of bowling pins. For enhanced elegance and shine a clear coat lacquer has been applied to the black shaft. The clear coat also protects and waterproofs the wood. A steel, reinforced suction rubber tip adds to the safety and durability of this first class cane. Please note that the Ladies' Cane comes with a Leather Strap. The maximum length is 36", but it can be cut to size.
