And yes, I am heavily concentrating on folders. Here in Missouri a folder with less than a 4 inch blade is not considered a weapon, meaning you can carry an “common folding knife” everywhere, whereas a fixed blade you can not. You can carry a fixed blade concealed IF you have a CCW permit, but the restrictions for firearm carry also apply to fixed bladed knives.

NOW I am looking for a nice walking staff between 55-60 inches long to use walking. I’ve found that for me a “staff” is a lot better to keep me from falling when my body decides to shoot lightening bolts through my back thereby causing me to fall. It just gives me something longer to grab onto keeping me more upright.

I’ve found a lot of sticks, but I want something with a little “character” to it. In other words not just a plain old straight stick.
