It isn't the one with the push-button collar and the six colourways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a single piece of American hickory, hand-sanded and finished in matte black lacquer. Hickory is one of the densest hardwoods on the continent — 1820 on the Janka scale, around 41% harder than red oak — which is why a wooden cane made from it doesn't flex underhand the way a hollow shaft does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is the classic crook: it sits in a closed hand, and the long inside curve gives you a second place to hold further down when you're negotiating a narrow doorway or getting out of a chair. It also hooks over a chair back or a table edge, which is more useful than it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no telescoping section, so nothing rattles and nothing slips. It is cut to length instead — 32 to 38 inches depending on your height — and the base carries a reinforced rubber tip for hardwood, tile and pavement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trade-offs are real: wood is heavier than aluminium, it doesn't fold, and because each one is made to order in South Florida you wait for it. What you get back is a cane that will outlast several aluminium ones and doesn't look like equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid American Hickory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic Crook Handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced Rubber Tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized 32\" To 38\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Winslow Lane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43301751619661,"sku":"WL-CANE-HICKORY","price":104.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4445\/6781\/files\/05547fbdf464cf3dfcce8d01b262ef97.png?v=1784860202","url":"https:\/\/www.winslowlane.com\/products\/hickory-walking-cane-handmade-crook-handle-matte-black","provider":"Winslow Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
