If I have to use a cane, Keep the O-ring greased and it lasts longer. not sharp at all). You can feel this when you remove or insert the blade. I have recommended it to others. I got this because most other canes don't support weights over 250lbs. And finally I had to tighten the bolts because it was very loose when it arrived.

All things considered, I still give a 5 star but that's because there isn't a spot for 4.8 stars. I don't like spending money on myself, but I've needed a cane for few years.
