Late 19th century
A lethal Toledo steel sword is hidden within the honey Malacca shaft of this handsome walking stick. Ready at a moment's notice, the blade can be wielded by the elegant crook handle with silver accents. The blade is two-sided engraved with the name "Toledo."
Deriving its name from the Spanish city where it originated, Toledo steel has been used to create fine swords since around 500 BCE. The existence of this high-quality alloy came to the attention of Rome during the Punic Wars, and soon, the city became a supplier of weapons to the Roman Legions.
