La Canne:
The hickory stick (3/4" diameter) is stiffer and heavier than the
rattan which provides good feedback to your techniques. The
shaft is double laminated which provides greater strength and
resistance to warping. Its best for light or moderate
contact training. The rattan is a lighter, and more flexible,
but will take a greater level of contact. Rattan is naturally
a vine, so please don't expect it to be a perfectly straight
material. (Pictured with optional rubber tip.) 39" long.
Heavy
Canne:
Here is a high
quality useable martial cane. Its made with impact grade
martial hickory. The same hickory that we use on our wasters.
The shaft tapers from 1" to 3/4" with a stylish Jatoba handle.
The rubber tip is included. 39" long.
This is the choice by many for
training in Bartitsu - the Lost Martial
Art of Sherlock Holmes by E.W. Barton-Wright
Here is a great review by Craig Geminer -

The "heavy" canne would be ideal for most Bartitsu training
purposes and would make a very reliable "carry" cane as well.
Optimal use IMO would be in solo drills, full-contact bag work and
controlled partner work; these are substantial canes indeed.
Purpleheart's lighter rattan cannes, especially those with
rubber ball handles, are eminently suitable for Bartitsu-style
sparring and fencing, plus neo-Bartitsu self defense improv drills,
always assuming proper "armour".
Thanks again to Purpleheart!" -

Extra Heavy Canne:
So based on your feedback we took it a step further. Combining
our 1" three layer laminated staves we put a knob on the end
of it. This is the same hickory that takes 570 pounds of pressure in
our testing before breakage. Cane tips DO NOT fit this model.
Cane Tips - 3/4":
The tips provide skid-resistant traction for cane tip
replacement. The Cane tips are made of 100% natural rubber
and are metal reinforced.

Hello, I’m writing to thank you and to tell
you that our Vigny sticks have been delivered last Friday. We had a
go with them during a two-hours light training session yesterday. We
are very happy with your sticks: they feel solid, simple and
efficient, and I guess that their three-part assembly will keep them
straight through their life-time. I just had to sand one of them to
remove a splinter before use, but I must say hickory wood is very
pleasant. Pleasant and strong: no mark could be seen after a bit of
light sparring (or better still, it looks more resistant to impacts
than oak or ash). We did not dare use them full force yet, for our
fingers’ sake, but I’m confident they will meet up our needs.
The
Australian
Geimener Academy’s
piece of advice was good: they are great training tools.
I’m looking forward to play with the padded
swords! Best regards, R.
Paris, France
got the stick just now, thanks very much. You
guys do great work. Will refer you some customers for sure. thanks-

All the sticks were
great, but the heavyweight hickory stick just stole the show- A+ !!!

I have no martial art training, my interest as a 61 year old is an
efficient means of self defence provided ny knowledge and practice
in using the stick.
Your extra heavy canne proved surprisingly fast
and responsive in the vigny-lang exercises and Cunningham
techniques, particularly the double guard where the balance is
achieved by an untapered shaft made cuts from either hand easier to
achieve. It is also suitable for the new efficient and economical
cane system devised by Michael Janich where the end of the shaft and
its tip are the main parts used.
