Blackswift sticks; Raven. Harder hitting elegance!

The Raven is the beefed up brother of the Blackswift stick. It offers more durability, harder hitting, and a lot more power in a slim, light and elegant package that can let you walk with confidence!

Thanks! Your video was one of the reasons I finally bought a Raven. It arrived today and I can say the first impressions of the weight, balance and usability are great 👍

love the name and design. at times I travel with a smaller walking stick for the Dog. People never look at walking sticks twice. they're applications for self defense are seriously underestimated. Definitely would like one of these. Raven;>☆

I purchased a Raven several months ago due to a shoulder and leg injury. At 74, I really wasn't too interested in the martial arts capability, purchasing it for its' light weight and "elegant" appearance. I've shown it to several seniors who refused to use the old-man looking hook cane. Mine has a wooden ball head, which makes it look less threatening, but I know how to use it, if necessary.

Kenneth Hoffmann I have needed one for a while but refuse to use one of those things that looks like medical equipment. I got a sword stick from cold steel that is in an 'elegant' stick and very strong for walking purposes. It does not attract attention, just looks like a nice walking stick. I might have gotten this instead had I seen it earlier. The sword cane is legal where I live, just illegal to draw the blade in any public place. Something I hope and expect I will never need to do.

I have the Raptor. Very happy with it and how it handles. Great for Vigny Cane/Bartitsu.

I just bought a Raven recently and I have to say it is an amazing piece of weaponry and a damn good walking stick. The fluid motion plus speed you can generate is ridiculous. I own a Cold Steel African walking stick and I love it but the Raven has it beat for speed fluidity and overall ease of use plus it pacts alot of striking force. Im weighing in at 265lbs and the cane hardly bends with my full weight press down on it. I would hightly recommend this for a self defense tool and regular cane usage.

Truly brilliant product, and great customer service.

Great walking stick,got the one with the mace head.so light and strong. Very friendly people too. Had it send to the EU,took one week.

I own a cold steel city stick. Which is also a fibreglass shaft only with a solid aluminum head. Great self defense tool. Actually bought it after my dog was attacked by another dog.

[@johncrone3612]

I had seen these online, but I’m now sold after your review. I’m going .to order a couple. Thanks!

[@mightisright5470]

So glad i found this video. I ordered one after just a minute or two. Good stuff.

[@TheScandinavianOne]

I've had mine for a while now and I absolutely recommend it! :)

[@reflexflow9088]

This a Great Self-Defense Cane! I have a Review on my Reflex Flow channel as well; This Walking Stick is easy to swing, it is light fast and packs a lot of power for an elegant looking Cane. It is also great as an around town Cane or hiking tool, great product!

Thank you for this review !

[@308bushmaster]

This Raven is awesome.

[@TheScandinavianOne]

Hi! You've convinced me of getting one of the BlackSwift canes but before I make up my mind I would like one more thing about the Raven; Does it still have that powerful one-handed thrust like it's predecessor have? I have a lot of experience with fencing and the thought of having a cane that can actually be used like a fencing foil is extremely appealing. :) Thanks for the videos btw, I found them very enlightening. :)

[@tim777us]

I can't help but wonder with the tip's diminutive size, if it would stop a determined attacker. And yes, I own one. The Raptor.

[@Bill22941963]

i ordered, and sent a msg, but my msg never got replied....i wonder how long is the shipping gonna take?

[@DrDennis]

Ive tried e-mailing BSS couple times years apart and I never get an answer back. Therefore Im not ordering one. Beware people.

[@spiritsmoker9256]

DrDennis77 send me your questions and I'll make sure Jim gets them.

[@DrDennis]

Questions to Jim: 1. Will the urethane tip stand up to walking every day on asphalt/concrete for 3-4 miles a day, 1,000+ a year without wearing down since you cant change out tips easily?? How do we know if we will receive a cane since answering machine never worked?

[@spiritsmoker9256]

the tips are actually changed very easily, there just need some elbow grease. and the newer tips since over a year ago are more than capable of standing unto that abuse. jim will also supply new tips free of charge.

[@DrDennis]

Just didnt think the tip is attached so good that you cant flip it off and then be removed so easy. But thats good. How many weeks to get an order?

[@lukemcinerny8220]

Jim replied to me within a few hours, and he was a very nice bloke.

Too much damn talking! Let's fkkn go already dammit!😒😒😒!
