@gingerw My cane, which I haven’t had to use, yet (thankfully) was made by husband. It is a crooked stick, and the wood turned at an angle to make a natural handle. Reminds me of the nursery rhyme, “There was a Crooked Man . . .”. When I ever do have to use it, I will love it because it is so unique.

@dederickve I have a walking stick made from a Hawthorn tree with a Brass greyhound head for my hand...I love it because it was put together by a friend and the tree was in my yard...I say 'Walking Stick' because it sounds more positive than Cane(which implies unwellness)..I do need it for dizzyness and a sore knee...but I like to think of it as a "Fashion Statement" which is more fun and one feels less old...it makes people laugh and is a source of conversation.laughing is good1

Hi, @dederickve. That's one nice attribute of canes: they can often be homemade, rustic hand-me-downs, souvenirs of some woodland trek you or some grand uncle made eons ago. I'm afraid we can't say the same about walkers. Walkers tend to be matter-of-fact aluminum contraptions, online ordered from some local big box store. Where's the nostalgia in that? 🙂 –Ray (@ray666)
