Royal RC Canes - Elegant Black Beechwood Walking Cane & Stick with Derby Handle and Silver Collar - Stylish, Comfortable, and Secure

I first ordered a denim blue Derby Walking Cane in 2012. For me, it's a perfect cane--light weight, sturdy, comfortable, and reliable. The shape is graceful, the color is beautiful. The curved handle makes it easy to hang up, and I also occasionally use it to pull something to me. I feel very comfortable and confident walking with the help of this cane for balance and steadiness. In 2021, after nine years of heavy daily use, I belatedly realized that I probably ought to have a spare, since I rely on it so much. So I ordered a second, exactly the same as the first. I'm glad I did. And the second cane is as fine as the first. It's been useful having a spare. For example, I used the spare for a few days after I left my cane in the back seat of a friend's car when the friend helped me out of the car and gave me their arm into my house. I can even lose track of my cane in my house for a few hours once in a while. But now, in late 2024, I seem to have lost one permanently--it hasn't turned up in two weeks. Good thing I had two! Now I need a new spare, so I'm ordering another, exactly like my first two. I'm very glad they're still available!

I am extremely pleased with this cane. I chose it based on the solid wood as portrayed in the photo. I chose it based on the solid oak construction. Oak is a very solid wood used in furniture, building and ships. The brass collar added a very nice distinctive touch. I had a concern about this (and other canes) offered in only one size. These canes are offered cut to specific lengths on other websites at a signuficant cost. I e-mailed this mfg, Royal Canes, and they provided excellent information AND directions on how to cut this cane to fit me. It was not needed since the cane shipped with specific directions with illustrations on cutting to messure. It comes with a rubber tip so no trimming is needed after cut off. I am overjoyed at the quality, the very distinctive and distinguished look and the feel. This is a high quality cane. It is studier and LIGHTER than my drug store aluminum canes.

I compared this Amazon price of this Royal Canes cane to the manufacturer's website, and it was actually cheaper on Amazon when you include the shipping cost. It's my 2nd Royal Canes cane, and I'm super happy with the quality and appearance of them both. I'm 6' tall and 220 lbs, and after trimming off 1" (from 37" to 36") it's a perfect fit for me. The woodgrain one I have is beautiful, but this black one is really classy looking. If you need a cane, I highly recommend any of the Royal Canes options, but especially this one!

I was disappointed that the design was only at the very top if the cane. The photo made it appear that the design went the length of the cane to make it more attractive

Is pretty, but the blue is purely surface deep. Easy to cut to length, although I'll be taking an extra 1/4 to 1/2 inch off because the palm curve of the derby is a bit more pronounced than the fritz handle I was using before. I will be screwing in a belt clip (I hate wrist lanyards that just swings the cane around). Sturdy, good looking, but would've been nice to find this color in a fritz handle.

The cane is slightly tampered from top to bottom going from approximately 7/8" from were the handle meets the shaft to approximately 3/4" to the tip under the rubber foot, the diameter at the base of the rubber foot is approximately 1 and 7/32" wide. Hope this helps it's one of the best looking and convenient canes I own, and unless you have the tools to cut to size, remember to give the height size you want in your order and they will cut for for you before shipping. I personally think it's the best option for a collapsible cane as I feel more secure with a solid wooden shaft can than I do with a hollow tube that's segmented and collapsible, but as I said it's my opinion and YMMV. Plus the compliments and beautiful stylish look of wood makes it a fantastic purchase to last for a lifetime of use.

Reasonably well made and light; sizing was easily done in a few minutes. My grandma likes the look and feel of the hardwood much better than her aluminum offset cane. As others have mentioned the stain isn't particularly robust but a couple of coats of a good, hard clear coat solved that.

I bought this for a friend who who is 6'4" and it is a perfect fit. This friend leads an active life and he is not easy on this cane but it is extremely sturdy and keeps up with him wherever he goes. Very nice looking as well.
