Someone near me makes these for antique fairs. Don't get caught outside your home with one. Unless you want free room and board and a job sewing mail sacks for a while.

Try flexing the blade.

Hello,

Thank you Kronckew,
No, sadly I won't try a walk with this walking stick !

Yes the blade is quite flexible
( almost like a foil blade )

I do not like the bubble aspect of the cross cut of the horn near the brass tube. It remembers me of two-component resin...

Hello,

the ''bubbles'' are the holes of the blood capillaries of the horn base
( for grow it's better !!) cf other picture of a deer horn slice made in earring
( + no resin , I already heated a needle and it's ok !)

Where I found resin-glue, it's around the devil head.
maybe it was later added ?

For the blade shape at the basis,
I found this sword cane sold as a 19th Irish sword cane,
the blade is made in the same mode.
