Lynn Thompson Cable Whip Cane.

[@JamesMBC]

Man, if there ever is a knives hall-of fame, Lynn Thomson will surelly be one of the first added. His contributions to the functional knife and sword world cannot be overstated. In a world where knives are manufactured as expensive and often impractical man-jewelry, this man has brought to us thought-out practical products for years, and even married the collector and practical worlds of swords, honoring historic blades at a reasonable price. Dude could easily retire, he's achieved more than enough. But he keeps working: that's true passion for the craft. He's the man! Knife royalty for sure.

[@TheScotchaholic]

Lynn also belongs in a Melee Weapons HOF, for introducing the public to so many varieties of historical and useful pieces from around the world.

[@shaunmcgowan827]

@@dakillah6018 Because they dont specialize in knives etc. They are a big corp and they will use the cs name for sales. Why do you think they bought it? They didn't purchase the company to ensure higher quality knives etc. They purchase it for the fans and customers. Lets look at this walking cane. No screw on head???? O ring compression fit handle??? One day in the hot sun with your weight on it its done. Im not going to even address the lil black plastic tip on the whip. I own a few of the older swords like the cutlass etc and they are far better quality than whats online rn even if you purchased the same one it wont match the quality. Look these companies are here to make money and go global. The American push is over and Lynn is one of the last sellouts. He should have passed down in his family. Even though he owned the name none of his product brought jobs to the homeland. He always had them made over seas. Now you have a company that is going to move some stuff around and make a profit. Thats why i said what i said. Improve it and charge more or id say the company will flop in less than a decade. I know im done with them. Im not the only man who knows this.

[@Tom-uj4uf]

@@shaunmcgowan827No they didn't. At least not yet. I've bought a few models from them lately and the quality is 100% the same as it was during Lynn's era.

[@mrfunkington]

I remember seeing Lynn at the Cold Steel parking lot sales, walking the line of people waiting to get in, shaking hands, having conversation, he is a really nice guy who loved his company and his customers. The other thing that really impressed me about Lynn is that he NEVER advocated using a knife to slash someones face, he always taught people to exert enough pain to get your attacker to stop trying to hurt you, and for you to have enough time to retreat. The part about slashing someones face, I heard him say this, you never want to scar someone for life like that because even though they are doing something bad now, you don't want to impose something like that on them forever. They could change their ways in the future, and you don't want to leave them with a scar like that. Such a good hearted guy. I don't know why he sold the company, its never been revealed, but I hope the best for Lynn and hope he is doing well and enjoying life.

[@jeffreybarton1297]

I made a similar item. Bought a Carbon fiber golf club from a charity shop for £5. Removed the handle, took a walking stick handle I already had, and epoxied a 10mm thick steel cable into it. Shoved a rubber ferrule on the end of the stick, and the cable fits nicely inside the carbon fiber shaft. I covered the join between the stick and handle with a short section of inner tube. I think I'll steal the idea of the O rings and use them instead.

[@bingbang6095]

OG Lin, ad 2 accessories, a pepper spray, in the handle with 2 replaceable canisters, and an option to add an arrow head to the tip of whip. To do some real slashing damage. I built a whip like that myself, but I used a lug at the end, frayed the tip open, and let the point soak in salt water for a week, giving me the rusted wire tip that cuts and infects all the way to the bank. Yes if adrenaline pumps, they still attack, that's why I recommend the pepper spray and slash point. That way, you incapacitate the person. They have a bloody sticky wound.

[@BlueShadow777]

Maybe I’m wrong but it looks to me to be too long in length. Seems somewhat unwieldy. There’s a good chance of whacking bystanders while drawing the thing and it’s momentum after the strike would slow it down on its return. Suppose you miss? There would be a lot of time for the would-be assailant to attack while the thing is on its return. I feel it would be more effective, faster, more precise and more easily manageable if it were half the length. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mikestone1865]

Then just get a baton and carry it on your belt. Those a shorter overall. But I think a ling one like this one give you distance if you take it and is scary to an assailant who didn't quite get tagged and may not want to sep into that buzz saw flailing back and form at angles, etc.

[@HarryManback46and2]

Man I need to get one. I’ve been looking the last few hours for a self defense cane. I just had a spinal injury and use a cane now. What are you supposed to with the pole if a situation happens all of a sudden? Do you keep the pole in one hand and whip in the other? So an attacker/s don’t take your pole and use it against you.

[@HarryManback46and2]

Also can these be taken on planes?

[@mikestone1865]

@@HarryManback46and2 I would say no you can't try to take it on a plane but they'll try to open it as they have taken knives hidden in canes before, and they'll confiscate it. For trips use any actually cane no problem, it's allowed, and for being home this one could work, if it fits properly, within an inch, I'd say, of your ideal cane length.

Is this legal for sale and use in the state of California? I've always wanted one of your sword canes but those are illegal here. The irony is that I carry the Espada XL everyday in California and it's perfectly legal and I would argue that it is significantly more deadly than a sword cane or a baton or butterfly/automatic knife. I love the XL. I also have a large. The large is more practical but the XL is far more intimidating and provides more reach. I've carried both knives for several years and I really think the perfect carry Espada would be right in the middle with a 6 1/2'' blade. It would retain some of the practical size of the Large while giving a little extra reach.
