One of the leading causes of emergency room visits is accidental falls in the elderly population. Every 11 seconds, a senior citizen is treated for injuries sustained in a fall at hospitals nationwide. The most common way to prevent falls like this happening to you is by using an assistive walking device. Canes are quite useful but don't think that they can't also be stylish. Here are some classy canes you can feel comfortable using away from home.
Brass Cane Handles
One way to keep it classy away from home is by purchasing a brass cane handle to attach to your favorite wood. They can be crafted into shapes like a cobra head, a lion, or a simple handle of your choosing.
Antiques
These can also be crafted into animal or object shapes, but are made from ivory, whalebone, or a number of other natural Scrimshaw materials.

Instead of a curve, opera handles jut out from the shaft to make a perfect 'L' shape.

Marble Swirl Handle
Made from acrylic to appear marbleized, these handles exude regality. Warning: people might mistake you for a king or queen.

Nite Stick
