The Frye twins' cane sword

The cane-sword is a cane or walking stick incorporating a minimum of one concealed blade. In essence, it is a sword and its sheath was designed in such a way as to appear to be a non-assuming cane when the sword is sheathed. However, as used by the British Brotherhood of Assassins, the sheath itself also possessed a hidden scythe-like blade, which could be extended when needed.

Due to increasing limitations and regulations regarding weaponry in the United Kingdom, it was considered less acceptable to openly carry arms of any kind, even for personal defense. To balance the need for protection while obeying the law, yet still appearing respectably fashionable, close-combat weapons like cane-swords were developed. Notable users include Edward Kenway in the 18th century[1] and later Evie and Jacob Frye during the Industrial Revolution in Victorian London. These weapons had great stun ability, but were not as lethal as the kukris that were also available.[2]
