When ordering this cane I thought it'd be simple and light, nothing more than a decorative piece to put on display or use for light cosplay. Instead I received a much more faithful creation than I had in mind at first.
Ironically, I did plan on it solely being a decorative piece until I had an accident that put me on a cane for a while.
The first thing that surprised me was the weight, rather than feeling imbalanced or shifty, it felt just heavy enough to feel natural without being unwieldy. Getting into stride with it might take a few moments, but you'll find it's quite easy.
Functionally, It works quite well for its intended use, and often pulls compliment and admiration from both Devil May Cry fans and strangers to the DMC series.
(While it says Cane Sword, I believe it does not house a blade inside. That being the case, it is still very comfortable to hold in a two handed grip, and should act as a very good self-defense tool if needed.)
I did notice very slight imperfections, but I think they add far more character than if it were to look perfect and polished.(V did find his cane in an old shop after all.)
Now the only negative thing I have to say about the cane is purely based upon my own humorous stupidity. If you plan on using this as a cane, grab those rubber end bits on Amazon. (I believe they're called ferrules.) The weight of the cane isn't enough to really damage floors, but if you lean pretty hard on it, there is a risk of putting cracks into tile floors.
