Flask Canes

This type of cane has a few uses, and the name tells us one of them. A flask cane usually consists of a partially hollowed-out cane, forming a mini secret compartment. The width of the cane will determine what can fit in the hidden area, but you could easily store money or that Chapstick you are always forgetting.

Flask canes are designed a little differently, depending on the model. This model has a tube similar to one you would see in a science experiment to pull out and function as a storage bin. Just be careful not to put anything too heavy in it, or the cane will become too heavy to be of much use as a cane.

Gadget Canes for Self-Defense

The truth is, it can be a dangerous world, and sometimes you are put into situations where you need to defend yourself. Needing a cane to help with mobility can make you seem like a target, so it is better to be prepared. The next few walking sticks can help you do just that.

Stun Cane

A great personal defense tool does enough to allow the user to get away without doing permanent damage. Sometimes the danger is from another person, and sometimes it is as simple as a pleasant stroll with your dog when a stray dog or coyote gets too aggressive. The stun gun cane is one of those things you hope you never have to use but will sure be glad you have it if you ever do need it.

The stun cane operates as a regular walking cane, but with the defensive weapon built-in somewhere. Some models have the stunner on the bottom tip, others around the outside of the cane, and a few feature a detachable handle stunner.

This model has an easy on/off switch so you can react quickly. It also has a reflective safety band for those late strolls, which can be removed when you don’t need it.

Stun canes don’t always focus on the comfort and walking help aspect, so pay attention to those details when picking out a stun cane. It may also be worth having a primary cane and using the stun cane when you are most likely to need it.

Sword Cane

Sometimes referred to as a blade on a stick, a sword cane often brings back a vision of a cultured gentleman, think Sherlock Holmes. While not always the most practical gadget cane, in times past, the sword cane was used as a self-defense tool.

It still does serve as a concealed weapon for anyone looking for some extra protection with some added flair. Most sword cane models have a detachable handle, with the sword aspect attached to the handle.

These canes may prove a bit harder to find, as they live primarily in the retro and vintage shops. As a result, a sword cane proves to be a solid collectible for any gentlemen looking for small ways to celebrate the past as part of his everyday life.

Technology Enhanced Gadget Canes

It was only a matter of time before classic walking canes became merged with modern-day technology. There are currently a few different types of high-tech canes out there, but it is a fast-growing and improving field. These canes demonstrate the future of the gadget cane market.

GPS Canes

Sometimes it seems like everyone has grown utterly dependent upon the GPS in their phones, and now seniors have a new way to keep that technology in the palm of their hand. GPS canes are cutting-edge and unique to the market but are quickly growing in popularity.

The designers had seniors in mind when they created features on these canes, so have no fear that it takes a tech genius to operate them. It doesn’t.

After programming in a route through an app on a phone or computer, a screen on the cane handle shows arrows telling the walker which way to turn. This feature makes holding a phone in your free hand unnecessary.

Some models even have built-in heart rate monitors and temperature sensors. A GPS cane is the perfect gadget cane for any senior who spends time out there exploring.

Smart Canes for Blind Men

One of the best things about advancing technology is the ability to help those who need it. In this case, blind and visually impaired individuals can take advantage of these advancements.

Smart canes use ultrasonic sensors to allow the user to adapt to their environment. These are still very new to the market, so there will likely be some bugs that need to be worked out.

For those that are blind or visually impaired, this technological cane alternative is worth a tryout. There are not many models out, and those that are available are viewed less like a walking cane, but you can expect to see these grow in popularity in the coming few years.

Aid Cane

The aid cane is a brand-new prototype that is winning awards worldwide but is not quite ready for the market. It uses cutting edge technology in a way that is meant to help save lives. While this design is not available quite yet, it is worth watching for similar products coming out in the future.

The design features a unique handle that spans your whole hand to about mid-forearm. There is an LCD (liquid crystal display), meant to indicate the user’s pulse, blood pressure, and temperature. It also boasts an SOS button the user can choose, which can immediately send your health data, as mentioned above, to an emergency center.

Gadget Canes for Collectors

Some gadget canes have secondary uses. They serve as an earnest throwback, but not as useful in today’s modern world. For anyone looking to connect to times gone by, these collector gadget canes are for you.
