Yoda had a cane. To use it, he reached down and grasped it to muddle along.
Now Moses, he had a walking stick! He could grasp it near its top and lean on it.
This Cold Steel Blackthorn is a cane. Unless you're 3 foot, eight, you're going to be leaning on it. I'm six foot, and it's like walking with a baseball bat!
It's also a bit heavy. Unless you're a hobbit, it may be more of a burden than a help when hiking.
Be advised.
