A Knife Cane by Jesse

This cane features a curly maple staff and a fossil walrus ivory crown.
A sharp dagger snaps smartly into the cane.
The decorations are solid silver and close inspection will show the author's initials engraved on the
shield.

 







Homage to Clan MacKay! Jesse Brennan's work.

Once again it's time to surprise loved ones on their birthday and here is a cane with a Scots theme for someone with close family ties to Clan MacKay.
The crown features a custom cut Kunzite stone from Mike DeMerritt in Tucson, Arizona, backed with gold leaf to give it extra reflectivity and depth.
More pictures will be uploaded as this exciting project proceeds to completion.
