Great value, my favorite of my six canes.
I debated a long time between three and four stars on the craftsmanship of this cane. It is (thus far) extremely sturdy, pleasing to the eye, and very comfortable in the hand. With that said though... im concerned that at some point the skull will break off, as it is only held on by one long, very thin screw, driven straight into the wood of both the skull, and the shaft. The metal ring pictured under the skull is empty space underneath (hollow). I wish they'd have sunk some metal inserts into the skull and shaft both, so the chances of stepping the screw were minimized.<br /> Still, even with this concern, it's my second sturdiest cane, and my overall favorite around the house, or outside in nice weather. Even with that issue, it's a very solid feeling cane, with a good weight and balance. The skull was considerably larger than i expected, but it turns out im glad because it's very comfortable. I think it would have been less so if it were smaller.
