Hello Barry,
I received my cane and of course I was blown away by how it turned out (please understand that I already knew that it was going to be an over the top piece of pure artistry, given that I was already of the mind set of near perfection & was still taken back by the cane work you performed. I will be writing a review once I get to feeling better with my health. I can't thank you enough for everything. My son was also blown away & he is a bit of a cynic in general. I wanted to impress upon you that I am extremely impressed and grateful for the time you spent crafting this sword cane.
Cheers,

THANK YOU for the BEAUTIFUL cane!!!
I think, together, we created a fine piece of art. The compass with the engraving is great and will prove useful when I’m in the woods. Later, when I save up, I may need to order a second that I can use for travel on commercial flights.

I just received the cane and I'm extremely impressed. It looks fantastic! Very elegant and minimalist design with the seamless mat black finish. Expertly polished with precise tolerances. Very light and a joy to handle. The therapeutic tee handle is exactly what I needed. Custom height is right on target. And the cherry on top is the custom breakdown system that makes the cane fit in my daily travel bag. World-class craftsmanship. It's perfect. Thank you. I'm already eyeing the next one.

Hi Barry
I am struggling to find words. Exquisite just is not enough. I have heard and read about the quality, attention to detail and craftsmanship. However, to actually hold, feel and handle the end product is the only way to genuinely understand the level of work put into each masterpiece. I cannot thank you enough, I now understand why they are world renowned and considered timeless masterpieces. The 'boer maak n plan' shipping touched a special note, very well done.
From the bottom of my heart thank you.

Testimonial for Barry/ Burger Custom Canes-
A stranger accidentally knocked my Burger MK1 sword cane off a counter, and the Tamboti wood handle was damaged. I decided to have Barry install a custom warthog tusk handle after a couple of email consultations. The cane was returned to me yesterday. The warthog tusk handle is absolutely magnificent. And the custom hand engraving of our family’s cattle brand on the steel end cap is a work of art! I am so pleased that I have ordered a second MK1 without the sword so I can fly with a Burger bespoke cane. I highly recommend Burger Canes and the custom pistol grip warthog tusk handle.

Anyway, I will write more later, but I did want to touch base with you. I am considering another cane as well, but haven’t yet made up my mind on which model. The stiletto is being put to good use! Many thanks for the quick turn-around on my order!

Mr. Burger, Good Memorial Day morning,
I am back from my trip to Africa, and I finally have my cane in hand.
It is even better than the photos revealed. Some very impressive engineering and manufacturing going on in your company.
The break down joint on the two parts is barely visible when connected.
There are absolutely no rattles where the sword and body of the cane join.
To say I am pleased is a vast understatement! Thank you for a superior product.

(Custom Ti Stiletto model with best grade hand engraving and custom break down convertion – May2023)

Barry
It really is a beautiful package. The engraving is exceptional, and I am so very glad to have upgraded to the Damascus and false handle! I have taken time today to really examine the cane and am greatly impressed with the engraving, the line-up of the three engravings, the beauty of the wood and carbon fiber, the Odin’s Eye blade, and absolute solidity of the cane or staff in use. This is an object of art, but it will become my hiking staff used daily…the false handle making this truly an all-occasion staff.   
I really cannot thank you enough for this beautiful craftsmanship. 
You are an artist!

Dear Barry,
The sword cane birthday gift was a great surprise. My husband is absolutely delighted with it and very pleased that the length is spot on for his height. 

He was especially touched to see his family crest engraved on the top so all round a super successful 50th birthday present.
Thank you so much for the beautiful product and all your effort to make sure it reached us in time.
Very best wishes,

Hi Mr. Burger,
as I wrote to you in my last email as I came back home I finally could handle your fine piece of craftsmanship.
I like it very much, even when walking and by handling it; and, of course, I appreciate very much your craftsmanship and I like it very much.
Nice job Mr. Burger.

Best regards

Hello Barry...
Received my Cane a few days ago, I'll say THIS MUCH > IT IS EXQUISITE..!! SIMPLY STUNNING.!! The workmanship is second to NONE..!!! I am EXTREMELY IMPRESSED..!
I can relate to the art of engraving and the demanding skill level it requires, as I've enjoyed a 'somewhat similar' artform - called "Scrimshaw" - as a lifelong hobby. OUTSTANDING & IMPRESSIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP - THROUGH & THROUGH..!!!

God Bless, Barry.!

Dear Barry,
This afternoon my order arrived and I am looking forward to the warmer days to test it out.
Actually the dog and I did go for a short walk along the canal to get a feel for it. As a hiking cane it is a little heavier than the others I own but this is all to the good if it were to be used defensively.
I am pleased with the metal-work hidden within. Not too short, not too long; and a formidable weapon should the need arise. It feels good, balanced and just the right weight in the hand. I am annoyed with myself for not getting the handle engraved but at the time I was not sure what I wanted. Now I do know but it's a bit late!
Anyway, just wanted you to know it arrived safely.
Best regards,
Colin Elliott 

Hi Barry,
I receive my cane a couple days ago and I wanted you to know how pleased I am. First of all I expected this to take a long time so the speed at which you filled the order was great. The quality of the cane and the blade is awesome and the handle is beautiful. Thank you for your fine work.

I actually received the cane 1 day early which was nice, The cane was discreetly wrapped and boxed and there was no way that the cane would have been damaged. In the future If I am ever asked about your company or your canes they well only receive the highest praise and happiness I have for your company and your canes. Thank you so much for your help.

(Custom MK4 model with custom Tee handle in warthog tusk ivory and titanium spigot - Feb 2023)

Hi Barry
I hope today finds you well.  
Just to let you know that my custom country cane arrived yesterday, as you said sooner than expected.
And she is beautiful. Both cane and her blade are well weighted both together and separated. The blade is a little more toward the pommel than I am used to, but her geometry and sharpness are perfect!
The tiger carving in particular shone in it's quality, exceeding my expectations. The size, texture and even smell of the turned tamboti makes my me glad I didn't second-guess my desire for a wooden handle. Likewise the accompanying tee-handle is incredibly comfortable and lovely to look at.
As a former Filipino Martial Arts champion forced to retire from a back injury that has left me unable to walk unassissted, and wandering what I have to show for my study besides a wall of dusty trophies and a limp, this cane feels sturdy enough to hold up both my body and fighting spirit, to carry me on my country walks as I rehabilitate and remember my old skill.
I am sincerely grateful to you, Barry and your team. It has been a pleasure to communicate with and do business with you. I have no hesitation recommending you amongst my community and I look forward to perhaps coming to you again in the future for something extra special.
Please feel free to quote me for a testimonial. You have earned a glowing one. 
Again, with Thanks and Warm Regards

Thank you for working with me on adjusting the shaft from my first order.
I have really appreciated working with you and admire your work. It is an art. If I ever get rich, I hope someday to obtain a cane with all the bells and whistles.
Thank you so much.

Good Morning Barry:
Yesterday (for you) at 5:13 PM Monday, IT arrived. In amazing travel time. Blown away by your discreet shipping. . . . . . A standing ovation to your cleverness, good sir!
And while we’re on our feet applauding, let us turn to the cane itself. What a beautiful realization of what I had in mind and the magnificent way that you executed it. It’s everything I wanted. And Reggie (my wife) is also as taken by it as am I. Truly a gorgeous work of Art, to be cherished and handed down for a great stretch of time to come.
Lastly, I guess, is to mention what a delight it has been ‘working’ with you. I qualify the word work, since all I did was dream it; while YOU created it. And what an easy back-and-forth it was. All the world’s collaborations should be so smooth.
All warmest wishes to you and your fine business.
Most sincerely, Peter

I came across to Burger sword canes by accident while browsing. Being naïve in this type of concealed weapons I decided to research the matter in depth After exchanging quite a few emails with Barry , Barry thank so much for your patience to explain to me everything in details I Decided at the end I decided to order one top end and discreet MK4 with warthog handle and an inscription on the blade.
Barry was always there to advise me the progress of making the cane as well as to answering every question ranging from blade's technical data such type of steel, hardness of it etc .
Consequently I asked Barry on the very last moment to change the position of the release button to back side and change the colour to black so as to be more discreet.
Barry just said "NO PROBLEM" with the only consequence , apart from the cost, which was very reasonable, to delay the despatch of it. Finally having in my hands the cane I can make one comment.
It is a "tool" of an extremely high Quality which will serve both its Purposes……… To assist you walking as well as to deter anyone who will think deviously!!
Barry thank so much for being so professional and fulfilling your customers’ needs to the very last little details and continue to make these state of the art handmade canes.

Comments: Review: Bespoke… In life if you want to be a gentleman you should surround yourself with the very best of everything. Not because you can afford it but because it defines you as a man.
A 12 cylinder car once in your life, Salon Champagne, Romanee-Conti Burgundy, The finest food, Bespoke suits, fine Scotch and great cigars.
A Burger Cane, custom made to order is one such prized luxury of the true gentleman. My experience with Barry Burger exceeded all expectations from tailoring my Country Cane, answering questions, the speed of his work, the customization, and the quality.
This cane has soul.
My only regret was not getting the second optional handle which I will order shortly so that I can travel with it. Besides defense, I actually do have a slight limp from earlier campaigns from my youth so I do actually use this sturdy product for support.
I will likely order another cane as well. That is how impressed I am with the craftmanship of his products.

Awesome and absolutely more than what was expected.
The workmanship and attention to detail is of the highest standard.
The black carry case was totally unexpected and just finishes the product off.
I will definably recommend this product to anyone I come across who happens to admire my cane.
It is almost too nice to use for its intended purpose.

Barry,
I received the sword cane yesterday. Several words come to mine. Bespoke, quality, epic, detail and craftsmanship.
This isn't just a walking aid and worse case scenario self-defence tool but a heirloom worthy product.
am extremely pleased with all the effort and work of the finished product.
The discreet part of the delivery was well done. I likely will be a repeat customer either adding the second handle to the cane or perhaps getting another cane altogether. In the interim where can I leave a review/testimonial and sing your praises of craftsmanship?
Sincerely,
Rick Spargo

Hi Barry, I received my MK2 cane yesterday. All was well. The craftsmanship was excellent and the engraving is beautiful! I ordered the break down conversion option for frequent traveling. Breaking the cane shaft into two pieces was easy to do.

Good Evening Barry,
It’s been awhile since I received my MK-2 sword cane, but I’ve finally had an opportunity to give it a little test run.
It’s an amazing blade, expertly profiled, sharpened and polished. Y’all did a fantastic job Barry. My wife, daughter and I love it!
Just wanted to let you know that I’m thoroughly impressed. There was no resistance at all cutting through fruit. I’m sure you already know how well built your sword canes are, but I just had to comment.
If I’m ever in a position to purchase another sword cane, it will absolutely be another Burger custom!
(MK2 model with turned tamboti handle – Feb 2022)

Good morning Baaaaarrrrryyyyyyyy,
OMG.
This thing is beautiful..
I don't really need a cane, but i been walking around my house with it, very carefully, even slept with it under my bed..lol
Barry, it's awesome, so sturdy, and well made.
Honestly, i feel i can see my own hand in the handle engraving, Barry, it's perfect..
..and, the freehand engraving on the blade, is freaking amazing..
Thank you so much for hearing me out on everything, and making this a pleasurable experience for me..
(It's nice to own something that involves another person's mastery, technique, and experience; you can see you guys care about what you do..
A rare quality as of late..)
PS
You've surpassed all expectations.
It's beautiful.
Thank you Barry..

Cane Arrived today. It is more beautiful than I imagined.
The boar’s tooth grip is stunningly perfect and exactly what I was hoping for regarding coloration, along with the engraving.
You also read my mind by sending an extra rubber tip. Much appreciated.
It is a true work of art. Worth every penny. You just don’t see craftsmanship like that very often any more except by some bespoke gunmakers in London or watchmakers in Switzerland.
Thanks again, Barry and a prosperous and happy new year to you and your family.

Morning Barry,
I apologize for the late reply. I was out of the country until this weekend and have been counting the days until I could see the cane. First off, the discreet packaging slips made me laugh!
Now onto the cane. BARRY! That click when you sheath it is absolutely phenomenal! The quality of the handle, engravings and blade are all amazing. I am glad I was able to find you. I'm sure the recipient will be thrilled when he opens the package and if I ever need another custom cane, I will surely be giving you a ring.
Hope you have a joyous holiday and happy new year.
All the best,

(Custom MK2 model with unique titanium handle - Nov 2021)

Mr. Burger,
I feel rather guilty for not getting back with you sooner, but things have been very hectic in my life!
I received my new cane a few months ago and I am more than pleased with the quality and the aesthetics. I already had one of your beautiful canes with a wood handle, but I decided I needed a more elegant one for some occasions. Well, you more than achieved the “elegant” characteristic in the delivery of my newest cane. The German silver handle is a work of art and beautifully executed. It truly compliments the entire function and appearance of the cane.
As an amateur machinist and gunsmith, I am more than familiar with precision manufacturing and construction. With that said, I am truly impressed how you have perfected so many unique and different technical items to the point of artistic. Silver casting, blade forging, polishing, machining, etc. You seem to do them all with perfection and I have found myself the fortunate recipient of two of your efforts.
Thanks again for two superb canes and the great service behind them.

Hi Barry,
It arrived in perfect condition. The fit is perfect as well. All I can say is understated elegance. Many thanks for the best cane ever!
Feel free to post this in Testimonials.
As a lifetime subscriber to Sporting Classics, I have lusted over the Burger sword cane advertisements for decades. After contracting Stage 4B lung cancer, I knew that it was time to acquire one.
Working with Barry, we designed my family cattle brand into the handle. The process was smooth and easily accomplished. From order date to delivery, manufacturing and delivery took 7 weeks.
I have been using the cane daily for several weeks, and it has exceeded my expectations. The quality is certainly bespoke, and the lightness of the carbon fiber makes it a pleasure to carry without sacrificing strength.
Highly recommend Burger canes.
Steve
(Custom MK1 model with custom engraved Tee handle – Nov 2021)

Hello Mr Burger
I have taken possession of my cane and I am more than pleased with the product. I has totally surpassed my expectations and is millimetre perfect regarding its length.
I can not express my gratitude to you and your company. I will be ordering a new cane in the near future with more detail and a Damascus blade to finish it off.
Once again I thank you very much.
Highest regards

Your rendition of my symbol is, I believe, the best I've ever seen. In short, all of your work is exquisite and beyond reproach. Thank you. Already a friend of mine had to browse through your website after seeing my cane. I hope I'm able to bring you some more business.
If possible, I would appreciate it if you are able to answer my questions from my previous e-mail, when you have the time to do so.
This whole process has been a wonderful experience, and for that you have my deepest gratitude.
Sincerely,
Eric Ulrich

(Custom MK2 model, engraved Titanium handle – October 2021)

The package arrived a few days ago……. The engraving is astounding! It's so beautiful, and I appreciated it even more after reviewing the drawings I sent you. You altered the wolves running around just the way I wanted them changed. The symbol has extra fur details that enhance the wolves. You captured the dragons perfectly. The mermaids are perfectly shaped. The unicorn, however, was, perhaps, the most impressive. The sketch I sent you was rudimentary at best, but you fully fleshed out the image, giving it many lifelike details far beyond what I did. Thank you. Still, my favorite part is the running wolves. I fell in love with that idea as we were designing it and your work did not disappoint in the least. Thank you for all of your amazing work on this. Thank you again for this awesome cane sword.

First report: took it for a stroll last night, the warthog tusk is very comfortable in my hand, due to the weight being up top, it has a good swing to it.
I have a cold steel, made in Taiwan one, made of aluminum etc, the carbon fiber is much lighter, and there is a substantial difference in "rattle", with the cold steel, the rattle is loud, with yours, nothing!!
I'm assuming you can do a dummy handle with the warthog tusk.

I cannot begin to properly express how pleased and overwhelmed my husband was when he received your cane. The quality and workmanship far exceeds anything crafted here in the U.S.. I must say it was well worth the wait.
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication to your craft. This is a true heirloom and will display with pride.
Stay well and safe.
Warm Regards,

Hi Barry,
Even though I thought my cane might be lost in the mail forever with the covid19 mess or it might show up in pieces, all turned out well. with all that has been going on in this
world today. Barry, it is a beautiful piece of art…..!! it is all I was hoping for and more! I am sure it will be in the family for many life times. And I thank you very much!!!
Thank you again, John

Mr. Burger,
I just wanted to let you know I received my sword cane today and that it arrived intact and with no damage whatsoever.
I also wanted to express my thanks and appreciation for a truly beautifully crafted object. This cane is a functional work of art that was produced with a level of precision that I honestly find a bit intoxicating.
While I am an electrical engineer by profession, my hobbies are firearms collecting and amateur machine work. Both of these hobbies provide me with the technical background to understand the degree of precision you have captured in this product. When not in use, this cane will be quite at home in the cabinet between my vintage Luger and Mauser pistols. I use the phrase “at home” because it is of the same level of precision as these turn-of-the-century firearms.
Thanks again

I was fortunate to buy a Burger cane in 1988 in Mosselbay at a excebition. I have had so many compliments and offers over the last 32 years for this masterpiece, thought id let you know.I was informed by the seller it is tambotie with a red ivory insert ontop. Could have been one of your dads masterpieces. Love it and my youngest son made me promise that he can have it when im gone.He dressed up in Victorian outfit for his matricball with cane. Evereone wanted to pose for a photo with a unique cane/sword in year 2000. He was quite proud, so am i,thank you again.

(Matching Set of Custom MK1 models, engraved tamboti handles- October 2020)

Hi Barry,
Just for some feedback, firstly, great attention to detail, the entire presentation and packaging was first class. The extra mile done with regard to supplying the sleeve for the cane as well as the spare rubber toe and wrist strap. Secondly, before responding I wanted to live with the cane for a bit to see how it went. In my case I have large hands and although I was concerned that the titanium grip might be marginally small, its a good comfy grip and not cumbersome in any way. All in all a superb South African product, one you can be proud to sell, and one anyone wanting one, can buy with confidence.
Thanks

Dear Barry
Thank you so much for all your hard work & patience with getting through this year, especially in regards to the Lockdown during the Coronavirus outbreak.
When I received my cane I was absolutely taken aback when I looked upon the incredible hand engraved Celtic design on the Stiletto cane, along with my first name initial in the centre (on the blades handle), in gold, which is amazing. I am extremely glad that I chose to have it done. I would recommended paying the extra to have it done as it really makes the cane extremely personal and an amazing item to hand down to my daughter when the time comes. You promised to create a beautiful cane and you did! I will treasure it and I will look after it, I promise you Barry.
Please take care & I really hope that your family stay safe in these daunting times.

(Custom Ti Stiletto model hand engraved and matching Plain Cane engraved Tamboti - Sept 2020)

Barry,
Sorry for the COVID-caused delay in getting back to you on the custom cane you designed and crafted for me. It is fantastic. The hand engraving and gold inlays are much finer, more precise and more artfully designed and executed than I expected! Your artists really captured the essence of what this could be, and have created a multi-generational heirloom. The materials are clearly chosen carefully for the purpose and design, and the execution of the craftsmanship is flawless. The spring release fits seamlessly and works effortlessly every time. The stiletto bade is exactly right in strength, balance and function. The hand engraving and fit of the false insert are remarkable.
This cane is a bespoke work of art. Congratulations, and thank you.

First let me saw that I am duly impressed with both the simple design and the quality of the build. I use this cane almost exclusively now and truly appreciate the near invisible joint. I really like its functionality as a hiking stick. It enables me to get out places I’ve had to avoid in recent times. Thank you for that Barry. I also like that it looks great but not flashy. It is quietly classic and that is exactly what I wanted.
All in all Barry I say “WOW!!!”....all my expectations were not just met, but exceeded. Good job to you and the crew.

Well, the cane finally arrived. To say that I'm impressed with the beauty of the cane and the quality of construction would be an understatement. In a previous email, I told you that I intended the cane to be a gift to my wife and I surprised her with it this afternoon. And she loves it! My wife has been collecting canes for a number of years and it has been only recently that she actually needed one. The cane you built is so distinctive that it stands out as unique among her collection.

Christmas Greetings!
I was pleased to take delivery of my MK3 today. I have inspected it in detail. I do woodworking at an advanced level and a little bit of metal work, though nothing on the order of what you do. My personal experience however does afford me some ability to recognize high craft when I am presented with it and has led me to understand that at an elevated enough level, craft crosses into art. I define elegance as the seamless marriage of understated beauty with effortless, perfect function. The cane is elegant, it is art.
I hope for you and yours the best of the holiday season!

Staff/Cane combo arrived today. I am very pleased with the staff. Understated beauty and elegance in the exterior with absolute magnificence inside. Exactly what I was hoping for! I am delighted with your product and am looking forward to enjoying this for the rest of my life. My only challenge will be which of my four sons to leave this to!
Best wishes, Mike.

(Bespoke Full House hand engraved Titanium handle MK3 model- May 2019)

The package finally arrived yesterday, I picked it up this morning from the post office. A beautifully structured piece of functional, ‘carryable’ art. My wife was very impressed with the hand tooling on the handle and shaft, as she has worked on designs in stoneware and soft metals for making jewelry. Overall, very pleased, very much worth the wait.
Again, thanks for working with me, I now have 2 very high quality pieces of functional art that I will use for years, and eventually bequeath them to other family members (um, that plan is hopefully still waaaaaaayyyyy down the road!!) as a family heirloom one day.
Sincerely,

I’ve been looking at Barry's website for about 15 years. I finally pulled the trigger and reached out to Barry to place an order. He worked with me to come up with the perfect design. Once we finalized the details, he and his craftsmen went to work. I received my bespoke TI stiletto with custom engraved titanium handle. I must say, I could not be more pleased with my cane. The craftsmanship and quality are amazing. Barry was a pleasure to work with. During the process, he quickly addressed all of my questions and concerns. I look forward to working with him again.
(Bespoke Ti Stiletto Model best grade hand engraving – April 2019)

(MK4 model Turned Tamboti handle, break down conversion- April 2019)

Hi Barry,
I received my cane last Friday, and its everything I had hoped for; its absolutely beautiful! The materials and craftsmanship are second to none. Before I became disabled, I was an avid furniture builder and I love the feel of the polished Tamboti handle. Normally, I would never deal directly with a foreign company, but Burger's sterling reputation made me feel comfortable taking a chance. Your communications throughout the transaction also kept my mind at ease. This is probably the most extravagant purchase I have ever made, and I feel it was worth every penny.
Thank you for everything.
Best regards,
Dave
(MK1 Tee handle model- March 2019)

Dear Barry,
I received the cane. The timing was perfect, because I am transitioning off of crutches and needed a cane. So, as a cane this MK2 is perfect. It is stylish, strong, well made, and feels good in fit and finish. I am impressed by the blade. It has a nice center of balance near the ricasso. I did not know what to expect from the blade. I admire the workmanship. I practice medieval martial arts using a sword and buckler, and while the MK2 is not the same, I found that I can use the cane and the sword in much the same manner as my usual sword and buckler. The cane provides defense and offensive capabilities along with the blade. How I can use it is very intriguing. This was money well spent.
Thanks,
Philip Lee Montgomery
(MK2 model-matt black carbon shaft – Turned tamboti handle - March 2019)

Didn’t read about the spring action at first due to my excitement but figured out the light pressure to insert. Can’t wait to see the rest of your work! You are awesome!

You must have prescient abilities to interpret my not so concise instructions to create exactly what my minds eye envisioned. You also added certain embellishments that have added to the uniqueness of the cane. As many have stated before me that your company truly creates works of art which I can heartily agree. Highly impressed with the outcome including the amazing discreet join. My wife is highly impressed as well.

Hello Barry,
My order arrived today! I am so excited and impressed, as I have always been with the works of functional art you have made for me the last few years. The adaptation of the image of Captain Moroni is spot-on, and the Celtic scroll work is beautiful. The engraving is impressively deep, making it really stand out. I learned from an old jeweler in Hawaii how hard titanium is and how difficult it is to mill and engrave it. That makes me even more impressed than I already was. Excellent work, sir, simply excellent.
Sincerely,
Shane

Hi,
First of all, I must raise a glass to u and your team for a tremendous work done. Thank you so much.The canes were very impressive and the my only regret is choosing carbon fiber instead of a plain Matt black cane. I am a bit old school and i think the carbon fiber weave is a wee bit too modern. I do enjoy the journey we took to get the canes done and even though they are not cheap, they are impressive pieces to my collection.. Thanks once again for your pieces of art and it will sure pass down as heirlooms.

Happily, I report that the Custom Hiker Combo you built me has performed superbly. I have logged many many miles with it since our last correspondence and am absolutely convinced the the money I spent was more than worth it. It is the most solid and durable cane I have ever owned. A lot of the miles I've put on this cane were in very mountainous and treacherous terrain. Weather conditions have been pure evil and your product never let me down. I have taken the liberty of using the cane version in some cities here in Europe and nobody has had a clue about its inner workings. Thankfully I've not had a reason to display the inner workings. I now travel exclusively with this Custom Hiker Combo to the point of bringing it to work everyday. It's now my "go to " for just about every occasion. I am an avid outdoorsman and hunter so the places I use your product is really demanding. In the last month I've used it in snow, rain, mud, ice, rocks, roads, trails, streets and dirt. It's easy to maintain and simple to use. It's been a absolute pleasure to use your Custom Hiker Combo and a privilege to own one.
Many many thanks for building the best cane I have ever owned and, with out a doubt, the best canes built in the world!!

Salutations Barry,
My custom country sword cane with custom engraving, discrete internal collars, matte carbon fiber shaft, and warthog ivory grip arrived today, January 12, 2018. The level of craftsmanship and quality of the materials make this cane a truly functional piece of art. Having suffered a stroke at the young age of 21, I've struggled with my self image/confidence due to the necessity of using an aid to walk safely. I must commend you Barry, as the canes I've seen were for the most part, sterile and medical in both form and function. This custom country cane is beautiful, and I'm now happy and proud to use it... (feels safer to have the very well concealed blade too, my physical limitations don't leave me at such a disadvantage in a potentially dangerous interaction with less than wholesome characters). Thank you for your time, attention, and care throughout this build. Also, as a disabled individual with a fixed and limited income, your willingness to work on a payment plan allowed me to make this purchase possible. Thank you for everything and I look forward to buying a stiletto dagger cane next! HIGHLY Recommend making this investment if you're contemplating... you will absolutely be satisfied.

Mister Burger,
I received my custom cane today. It is absolutely stunning. It arrived yesterday but I wasn’t home to sign for it so I had to go by the post office this morning to pick it up. Although I feel a little bad about getting myself an early Christmas present I suspect that feeling will quickly go away. The custom engraving is an example of very special craftsmanship; something you don’t see in the hustle bustle of our life style today. When I use it I can almost feel myself stepping back in time; for example, the Belle Époque era. The woven carbon finish is beautiful. You have a great website but the pictures don’t do this finish justice. As you know my previous order had the matt black finish which is nice so I was a bit reluctant to try the woven carbon finish this time. I am glad I made that decision; it is amazingly and mysteriously a very beautiful finish. I don’t know how you accomplish it. The titanium Ti handle with engraving puts the cane into a different level of heirloom status. And of course it makes a great and functional walking “stick”; one that I will use proudly and pass on to a grandson one day. Thank you so much for your skills and craftsmanship. You are an honorable individual and one of a kind. It is my pleasure to do business with you and your associates.
Best regards,
Your Texas fan
Bill

Well... I will start to think about another cane, but this time it will be engraved and more rich.
Soon I will let you know.
Thanks again for your work and all your efforts.

Keeping in touch.

I've received the new cane and It is very, very nice and I love the engraving it;s just gorgeous Barry. The engraving and workmanship is outstanding and I am running out of superlatives. I would realy like to refinish my old shaft, this new cane is just too beautiful to use and beat up like my old one. Recovery from my latest back surgery goes apace (slowly). Thank you so much for the fantastic new cane.

Thank you so much for your hardship for my canes. It is one of the good things in my life for knowing you and your wonderful products. They will follow with me everywhere from now on.

Hello Barry
Just wanted to give you a testimonial and say a few words about my mark 2 cane. I absolutely love it. The balance and fit is remarkable in every way. The blade is a thing of beauty and would be very functional should the need ever arise. And arrived on the exact day you said it would. I am a cane collector and it is very much the crowning jewel in my collection. Thanks again for your good work and professionalism.
Regards Rick Norton
(Custom MK2 model with break down conversion, unique titanium handle and hand engraving - June 2017)

Barry:
The bespoke is absolutely wonderful. Besides the exquisite design work and detail, it is so wonderfully balanced, I find it difficult to use any of my other canes. They feel clunky and clumsy in my hands compared to the bespoke MK4.
No photo or description can describe the wonderful MK4 you sent me. I will be taking it to the palace in September for my ceremony with the Queen-I have not shared pictures with her so she will be totally surprised.
Thank you again for the wonderful sword cane. I will use the two you are finishing for me right now, but the bespoke MK4 is in a class of its own.
I'll speak with you soon.

(Custom Country Cane model - May 2017)

Barry!
WOW. I Am Absolutely Speechless. I Cannot Believe How Nice This Cane Turned Out. It Far Exceeded My Hopes And Expectations. You Met All Of My Requests Down To The Tee!
I Cannot Get Over The Level Of Incredible Detail & Quality Craftsmanship. I Couldn't Be More Happy With My Mark IV. It Is So Discreet, Solid, Well Balanced And Ergonomic. The Blade Is A Masterpiece, Perfectly Sized For This Application. I Was Getting Anxious To Get My Hands On This Thing While I Was Healing But It Was So Worth The Wait. It Has Become My Daily Companion, It Comes With Me Everywhere. Whether I Am In The Office, The Jobsite, Walking The Dogs Or At My Cabin It Never Leaves My Side & Will Not For The Rest Of My Life. The Leather Strap Is A Great Addition!
In Due Time I Will Absolutely Be Ordering Another One. This Piece Is Incredible. Thank You So Much Barry For Making This Possible. From Breaking My Ankle & Heel, Surviving The Fall Making It Through My Recovery To Where I Am Today, This Cane Serves As Self Awarded Memorial Of Sorts Of This Last Year.
I Can't Quite Express How Much This Means To Me.
Thank You Again Barry!
Live Long & Prosper,

(MK1 model with custom engraved Tee handle - Jan 2017)

Mr. Burger,
I received the cane. When I FIRST saw it, honestly I wasn't blown away. I didnt recall asking for a wood head. I expected a metal head. Then I began to think I know nothing of the language of these, so "Tamboti" may be a kind of WOOD, where I thought it was the official name for the "knob style" head.
I removed the blade and replaced it a few times. More and more I came to appreciate the "fit & finish" of this cane. Then I removed the blade a few more times, looked it over, leaned on it, and I appreciated it even more. I examined the metal tip, and thought: "I'll have to find some small rubber tips for this." Then I examined the protective case closer, and found the two tips and the wrist strap. I took it out and replaced it a few more times, and more and more I am loving this cane. It felt LIGHT, and looked BENIGN and simple. NOW the peaceful appearance of this cane is my favorite feature. It DOES NOT cry out: "I have a BLADE inside!" It looks, feels and works like a real cane, and the PRECISION is just astounding.
I LOVE this cane!!!! LOVE IT! I am certain that I ordered a tamboti handle, so thats my own doing. If I had to do over again, I would have gotten a metal knob style handle. The good news is, this is just my first one. I will look over your web site tonight, and make some notes on what I want for my next one. I remember having SO many options, that I felt I should just get a BASIC model to begin with. Maybe its just me, but it took me a few hours messing with it to truly appreciate that this thing is like a 1960's era Winchester Rifle, in that everything fits FLAWLESSLY and the beauty is in the clean, perfect simplicity, and the fit and finish. I am VERY satisfied! ELATED in fact!
Thanks, and we will do another one soon!

I received the custom sword cane early last week, and I just wanted to let you know that it is better than I imagined it could be. The detail and craftsmanship is wonderful. It is extremely elegant looking, and I cannot believe how seamless it is.
I am going to have an extremely difficult time waiting to give this to Scott. I will certainly let you know his thoughts on it, but I am almost certain he will be rendered speechless. Thank you again, and this was assuredly worth the wait.

(Matching set MK2 canes- Tamboti handles- April 2016)

Greetings, Barry:
I am now the very proud owner of my own MK4, one of the most beautiful, versatile and fun accessories any man can own. That is my humble opinion.
Since receiving it I have used it to take the dog for a spin, to enjoy a leisurely strut around town and now, as I rehab from a sports injury, to work my way back into shape. All the while I am doing these things, I am very assured of my own personal safety. At 65 years old, this is more important than it used to be for me.
You had mentioned that the cane would be "discreetly" delivered to my door. I wondered what you meant by that. Then I received the box and saw the labeling. I couldn't help but smile. My guess is you have well developed senses of humor and of taste. My point: Even the cane's delivery was a treat.
Frankly I like to have this "work of art" near me just so I can look at it. The carbon fiber shaft, that beautiful tamboti wood handle and the cane's lines all make it a pleasure to have nearby. Even the rubber tip is tastefully narrow and grips effectively The etchings are excellent. I couldn't ask for better. And, of course, when I press the release button, what appears is everything I anticipated and more. This is a cane that has no peers. I am very fortunate to own one.
Thank you very much for making this and for sending it to me so quickly. Consider me one of your most satisfied customers.
I have only had it a short time now, but it has become one of my most prized possessions. I look forward to growing older and older with it by my side.
Kindest regards and many thanks again,

Hello Barry,
I hope you are well. I just wanted to write and thank you again for the magnificent job you did on my stiletto. I take it everywhere, and it catches the eye of many people, even those who are not familiar with quality canes. The detail and fine craftsmanship are so impressive. I was watching a movie, "The Wolfman", (the recent remake of the old classic). There is a scene where the main character is given a sword cane. Obviously it is a prop, meant to look good, but it just reminded me of the true quality and care you obviously put into your canes, and it made me grateful to have such fine items to hand down to my son and his children. Many thanks again.
Your friend,

(Custom Plain Cane with engraved Tamboti handle and components - Sep 2015)

Morning Barry,
The sword canes arrived yesterday afternoon. Lorna phoned the courier service on Friday and they said that the delivery was on their list for 11 on Monday.
We are both very happy with the work that you have done and the canes are fabulous. We love the engraving – simple yet special!
I was not sure if Lorna would like her one but she is over the moon. It fits her perfectly and the handle is just right for her.
I am very happy with mine. The handle is beautiful.
For some reason I had thought that the handle was a bit bigger than it actually is but this suits me perfectly as I have small hands. It is a perfect fit.
Thank you for your time and effort we appreciate it.
Kind Regards
Douglas and Lorna.

Thank you, Craig.

Hi Barry
We have to-day picked up the parcel at our local post out station.
It is packed very well and discreetly as you promised.
The workmanship is excellent just as your web page described.
I can’t wait to see the expression on my sons faces when they come to see it.
I will have no worries about recommending your work to anyone, thank you again.

Barry,
I received my MK1 Burger sword cane over eight weeks ago. I have waited to write to give time to evaluate it in use. I will say that I am
absolutely delighted with its performance. It is not only completely functional, it is beautiful. I am very pleased with the craftsmanship that has gone into its design and manufacture. Thank you for creating a true quality product.
Dr GRANT M. BARKLEY

Dear Barry
Thank you very much for another great cane! The Country Cane is a completely true Sword Cane as there is nothing to suggest that there is a weapon there, which is fantastic! I will cherish the cane for many years to come and between this cane and my Stiletto cane, I can feel really safe when out and about! Thank you so much Barry I love it!
Kindest regards
Roderick

I just wanted to send a brief note to thank you for my new Country Cane. I have had it for about a week now and it is everything I had hoped for and more. Excellent workmanship, a stout, functional design that is elegant yet does not draw attention to itself. A wonderful piece all around.
Thank you,
Aaron Steinle - July 2015

Dear Barry
Thank you for a fantastic repair job on my much prized S/Cane as I really miss it when It has had to come back to you (to my shame!), for to be fixed! Please do not laugh when I say that I actually kissed it when I received it this morning! Therefore, thank you Barry it is much appreciated & let's hope you do not have to see it for a very long time, if ever, that is.

I would like to also let you know what I think of the Country Cane. WOW!! I love it! The screw system is extremely well thought out and executed. The reason that I didn't ask for a collar is that when it is screwed tightly you do have a great deal of difficulty spotting the join, especially when the pattern of the weave lines up perfectly, which it does nicely! I also love the multi-layered ferrule as it is a great idea as it gives the cane a really good purchase when out and about the fields whilst walking the dog and going up and down hills etc.. The whole cane has a good solid feel to it, especially when it has a Titanium handle, and this makes me feel totally safe when using it as an aid for walking and also when I am in a lot of pain. Therefore, I can not thank you enough for another great work of art and It will definitely be another cane that will be handed down to someone when the time comes.
Take great care of yourself and your family Barry and I will always keep an eye on your website for any other future creations.
Have a great weekend and all the best!
Roderick

Hello Barry,
I am holding the Stiletto cane and am in awe of the craftsmanship that went into the production of this work of art. The engraving and gold inlay are stunning. My wife and son are extremely impressed as well! I have to admit that ordering and receiving your canes is addictive, and if I didn't have to pay for them, I'd be ordering them all the time! The anticipation for this cane was excruciating, and the result did not disappoint. The deep engraving is so precise, so crisp. Very impressive. Thank you so much for everything!
Yours sincerely,

Hello Barry,
I received my order of the Country Cane and have already taken it with me on a couple of hikes. It is truly a great piece of craftsmanship and I could not be happier with it. The solid feel of the cane is most pleasing and I do get a sense of a bit more security having it with me in the remote areas where I walk with my dog.
The delivery of the cane was actually a couple of days ahead of schedule and as promised was hand delivered by the carrier.
Thanks so much and I would highly recommend you and your products to anyone in search of this items.

Mr. Burger,
I just realized I never got back to you regarding the cane. It arrived in time for Christmas, and the recipient was most ecstatic. He had been wanting a sword cane, and needed a walking cane as he had lost his good one and was using a cheap one for the time being. He said that the composite actually helped him walk better, with a perfect balance of strength and weight. In my estimation, this is truly a work of art.

Hi Barry:
My cane arrived today and I am delighted. It is everything I had hoped for, and then some. My wife held it for about 30 seconds and declared that she wanted one (I’m not sure that she was kidding, actually). The motto I had you engrave on the blade was the motto of my father’s Spitfire squadron (411 RCAF) in England during WWII (“Hostile to an enemy”). I wanted this to be something I could hand down to my son and the engraving was intended to ‘tie in’ the generations. Well, this is something special to hand down, and it will be enjoyed for years to come.

Hi Barry – its just arrived and the whole thing is truly an amazing work of art - it was well worth the wait - absolutely unbelievable craftsmanship - THANK YOU!!
I do just have one quick question though - the new cane is actually about 0.5/0.75 centimetre shorter than the first one you made for me. I know this doesn't sound much but I have really grown accustomed to the "feel" of the length of the old one.
Many thanks again for such a beautiful thing - I have been really surprised about how many people in the street have commented on the original cane - I wonder what the reaction is going to be to this new beauty!

The craftsmanship is superb and exceeded our expectations. The hand crafted ivory handle fits perfectly and though he's only been able to walk a few yards so far, the fit and finish is inspiring to him.

Your execution of what I requested is absolutely superb and captured my vision perfectly. This is family heirloom that will be passed down with pride.
Thank you again. It's such a pleasure to find that there are still craftsman in the world that can create treasures of such functional beauty.
All the best

Hi
I hope you don't mind me writing to tell you about a mistake on your Website, I'm a teacher and I guess I cannot help myself!
In your F.A.Q section you use the word 'Guaranty' this is not the correct meaning - the word spelled like this is a legal term for a surety on a formal promise - the spelling you need is 'Guarantee' which fits well with your description.
By the way, your canes are fantastic, a friends father in Singapore had one, I wish I could afford one!
Best wishes

Dear Barry
I collected my swordcane from the post office this morning.
I was absolutely blown away by by the beauty, balance, finish and superb craftsmanship of your work. The engraved tamboti handle is beautifully finished. Cabinet making using noble woods is my retirement hobby and I appreciate your selection of a fine wood. The cane will deservedly become a a family heirloom. I have to use the cane all the time and it is an abolute pleasure to use and admire, as well as being a useful defence weapon. Older guys like me are often a target for muggers. I would not like that razor sharp blade between my ribs!
Thanks for your excellent and prompt service and I wish you well for the future.

Just returned back this past Sunday to Montgomery, receive your package. Had a wonderful experience upon opening the package and inspecting the custom MK3, found it to be in perfectly re-bedded condition. It looks and works flawlessly. As usual you did a superb job on the cane and its fitting. The Burger canes that you have finished for me will be cherished by me and my family for many years to come.
Once again, many thanks for your outstanding workmanship. It is very appreciated.

At 11:00 a.m. my time your product arrived. Complete surprise. Completely intact even with a slight dent in the box. I did not expect the case or small items with it, but very pleasant. The cane is exactly as I wanted. The detailing was far beyond what I had hoped. You are masters. Some day you must explain the design on the blade. I have the huge dilemma of wether to display or lock in the safe. Protect or gloat? Beautiful work.

Good Morning,
I apologize for not responding sooner about the wonderful Country Cane I received a few months ago. The workmanship is perfect. I have been using it quite a bit since I broke my foot and have been in a walking cast for a couple of months. It has made a tremendous difference in my comfort and ability to get around. Morning and evening walks with my dog are possible (although slow). Thank you very much.

I just got my two “orthopaedic walking aids” (LOL). They are beautiful! The fit and finish on both is flawless. I know my best man and I are really going to enjoy them. I only have one further question: I cut the end of the box open with the handles first, and pulled both canes out before I realized they had their own specific presentation pouches. How do I tell which serial number goes with which cane?
I will definitely recommend you to anyone who wants the best sword cane money can buy.

The cane arrived this afternoon, I have just finished taking it on a walk around my property. I am extremely impressed with the workmanship, lightness and balance of the cane, the hand height is perfect. I have two artificial knees and while I really don't need a cane with me at all times its use on uneven surfaces aids my stability. Now, what would it cost to make a duplicate of this cane as a sword cane,
hope to hear from you soon.

Yoshiro - Japan - March 2013
(Mk4 Model-Tamboti handle)

Mr. Burger,
I just wanted to take a moment to update you with respect to my father's reaction to your cane. We presented him with the cane during a dinner celebration that his only living sister was able to attend, a special event in and of itself. With the entire family gathered around, my father only had to look at the box, without even seeing the writing, to exclaim in hope, "This better be the sword cane I've always wanted!" Well, needless to say, he was speechless.
In the weeks since that event, he pampers the cane, which he needs for daily walking and routine chores. At least 4 times since he received the cane, he's told me, "You don't ever need to get me another present for my birthday or Christmas! This is the only present I've wanted." My mother tells me that he won't get in the car without putting the cane into its case, for fear that he might scuff it. He happily shared a story with me over the weekend where he put the cane on the counter of the local hardware store as he was buying something, only to have the female cashier tell him how much she admired the cane's beauty, and inquired what the handle was fashioned from. He told me that he talked with her for a few minutes, bragging about its custom nature, and the craftsmanship that went into its making; though he cautioned… He wouldn't let her touch it.
I'll simply leave you with an expression of profound thanks, at having made something that my father truly delights in.
Kind Regards

Dear Barry,
Regarding my order of the Mk4 on October 12th, 2012, I was anticipating an email confirmation of shipment by the first of November and hoped for actual deliver prior to December. You cannot imagine what a pleasant surprise it was to have the postman deliver my beautiful sword cane on October 20th, a mere eight days after ordering from the USA!! The Mk4 is truly a work of art. Fit and finish are outstanding and the join indiscernible except under the closest scrutiny. The cane is elegantly slim and lightweight, yet solidly constructed. The blade is ground to perfection and the length perfect. My only complaint is that I am so enamoured of your craftsmanship and customer service that it will not be long before I am compelled to purchase another.
You all should be very proud that in an era of mass production and shoddy workmanship you stand amongst the very few remaining true craftsmen in this world.
My best regards,

Hello Barry,
My cane came today! 10 days before the expected date. A testament to the postal systems of our respective countries. The cane surpasses my expectations. The engraving is a masterwork. it is clean and precise to an unimaginable degree. I didn't know that this kind of old world quality was still available in this day and age! The cane itself is also exquisite. Light but immensely strong and the fittings and mechanism are obviously held to very close tolerances. The line between the cap of the blade and the rest of the grip is so close it looks like they are one piece of metal. I am truly impressed!
I cannot say enough good things about this piece. Truly I am overwhelmed. Thank you very much for making something I will cherish for a lifetime!

The cane arrived today. I am most pleased. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first thing I have from South Africa. One question regarding the strap. Where is the proper location of the strap in relation to the button? I would think it would be on the handle of the cane, not the shaft. Thanks for any guidance you can provide. Have a wonderful holiday season and a very prosperous new year.

I finally made it home and had the chance to see the two canes that you made for me. I was greatly impressed at the quality as was my entire family. My sons wanted the canes now but I explained that they would be used by me before being passed down through the generations. The workmanship was beyond what I had expected and they are beautiful. My mom was particularly impressed by the ivory handle cane and its craftsmanship.
Thanks and I am definitely a more than satisfied customer and would recommend your work to anyone.

Hi Barry,
I received my cane the other day and I was absolutely amazed. Too see my idea so perfectly realized was breathtaking. I am still amazed at the level of detail you accomplished in this piece, and I can see why it would take months of hard work to achieve such an impressive result. I have the urge to find a magnifying glass, because I feel that if I could look closer I would find even more detail. And the balance is no less impressive. The cane itself is perfectly balanced, and a joy to use, but I was truly struck by the balance on the blade as well. I practice swordplay in my spare time, and the blade seemed so lively I couldn't help myself. It truly wants to move. Barry, you have truly outdone yourself in this wonderful piece. You should be proud to have achieved such a level of craftsman ship. Keep up the good work.

Barry,
I received my MK1 shortly after writing to you yesterday. First I want to thank you for the level of customer service you provided me with; it is beyond rare in the world today to be treated with the courtesy and respect that you show for your customers. The work you have done is excellent. A simple yet beautiful MK1 that I will use every day without worry. The ivory warthog pistol grip handle you selected has the perfect curve and fit. I have no concerns about this item lasting a life time. I am beyond grateful for the level of craftsmanship you have shown. I thank you for helping me to acquire a bit of freedom, and confidence when walking around by myself. I will no longer stress over someone trying to take advantage of my disability. I will be placing an order for an heirloom piece in the near future. I am very happy I decided to talk to you before making my decision to purchase a lesser costing product that would no doubt have been far inferior to your standards of quality. I will spread word of your outstanding work to all of the men and women I served with in Iraq and Afghanistan that may be in need of your service.
Sincerely,

My cane arrived last Saturday, really fast shipping! I was not home and had to wait until Tuesday to pick it up since Monday was a holiday here.
I am very pleased with the high quality of the material and craftsmanship. I am particularly impressed with how well the seam is concealed. While I hope to never need to draw the blade in a confrontational situation it is very reassuring to know it is well made and able to do its’ job.
Thank you.

As discussed, it was important for me to have the handle work both right and left handed, and you have done a great job in making this so. As promised, the workmanship is beautiful and I only wish I could have afforded the time to have you embellish the blade with some of your amazing artwork. Next one, perhaps.

Dear Barry;
I received the cane the other day, and I am very impressed with your craftsmanship in the design and build of this cane and it’s case. It’s appearance is just what I was looking for in it’s elegant design and yet not showy. Time will tell if the construction will tolerate my usage, but I’m fairly sure it will. I have only one suggestion, and that is the rubber tips could be of a more durable nature. On my normal cane I go through a tip every three months on average, and the tips provided with your cane seem to be of a lesser rubber durability and lack an inserted metal washer which protects the cane’s tip should the rubber wear down.

...and I wonder if I ever fall out of this trance again: Your masterpiece, dear Barry, arrived this morning.
Ever since, I have not allowed a distance of more than a yard between me and my cane - I keep carrying it around, admiring by sight and touch every minute detail about it... It feels like I'm getting used to some kind of samurai attitude: This cane will never leave me, and never will I leave it for to anybody else to touch - except my partner, who has after all these years acquired the right to carefully hold and feel this work of art: On the condition, of course, that I remain present all the time. Now you know how proud I am about owning it, I can hardly imagine how proud you must be, being able to create and to craft such a perfect thing.
With stars in her eyes,
P.S.: How ingenious to send it the way you did.

Barry,
I apologise for not writing earlier, but I have been away from home on several business trips lately and have not had time to write until now. The Mk3 Sword Cane arrived right on time, the box had suffered some external damage from rough handling during the journey, but thanks to your excellent packing there was no damage to the Cane or case. The fit and finish of the Sword Cane is Excellent, and Craftsmanship is Superb! There is no looseness or rattle while walking with the cane, and the locking mechanism is positive and without play. My complements to you and your employees for making such a quality product in this age of mass production! The adjusted length of the cane fits me perfectly, and the weight and balance is perfect. The woven fiber shaft is slightly more of a matte finish than I was expecting from your photographs, but actually I prefer this to a glossy finish as it is less noticeable and less likely to show scratches from daily use. You are correct about the blade length being chosen correctly, it is short enough to be drawn quickly but still long enough to be quite intimidating if deployed in an emergency situation. The balance of the blade is excellent and the turned Tamboli handle is the perfect length. This Sword Cane puts the others in my collection to shame, and will hold an honored position in my home. I will discuss an idea that I had for a MK2 hiking stick / cane combination at a later date, so looking forward to another Sword Cane purchase from you in the future!
Thanks!

Mr Burger,
I received my cane today! The cane is everything I expected and more. The quality of the cane/blade is excellent and I expect to use it for many years with the confidence of having the blade if needed. Comments/questions; As I said, the quality of the cane is excellent therefore I found it puzzling that there are two scratches in the forward end of the handle. Since the item was well packed the scratches could only have originated at the workshops. Now, I'm not upset about the scratches. I mention them so you can look at your manufacturing process to see where the scratches originated, and eliminate the problem.

While your email says "next week" I received a wonderful surprise today. The cane is excellent. I can't believe the detail and quality of the engraving. The workmanship is excellent. The cane is lightweight and the seam where the blade fits is almost invisible. There is no rattle or movement of any kind from the blade when it is in the shaft. This is a one of a kind item that I am very proud to own.

Dearest Mr Barry Burger and Burger Knives Team
Absolutely thrilled to repeat I have received my amazing dream sword cane MK 4. All my previous praise is a gross understatement, positively craftsman par excellence. Undoubtedly master craftsman and a winning design with finishing to an intricate detail, that leaves the beholder flabbergasted. My MK 4 was thankfully received in perfect condition. As I opened the package, absolutely fascinating, the Burger Knives Team’s attention to detail is unparalleled. I carefully scrutinised every millimetre of it, and yes, the Burger Knives Team gets my approval and surely no accolade as yet could appropriately crown craftsmanship of this stature. As mentioned previously, sword canes should be renamed ‘Burger canes’! Even love the noises the blade produces on sheathing (thanks to the super quality and perfect fit of the impressive fittings). My testimonial proudly reads of the ultimate sword cane still superbly handcrafted this day. The sheer feel of unmatched design unparalleled craftsmanship and the perfect selected combination of the finest materials on the market today allows the beholder to be enthralled in a most intricately stealthy weapon coupled with the finesse of an exquisite robust yet sleek stallion, an instrument that would be confidently and proudly brandished by warrior and king alike. Hats off to the Burger Custom Canes team. Even the quality crafted sheath (complete with spongy layer sandwiched between the perfectly handy, grime resistant materials), complete with Burger logo, simple and perfect. Not forgetting the lovely leather riempie wrist brace, another wonderful additive, that makes the Burger custom cane unparalleled, not withstanding the appropriately protective packaging and all in the most timeous, respectable transaction, no mess no fuss, and WOW! The ultimate sword cane, deserving the highest accolade.
Thanks Burger Custom Canes, Burger Knives Team and the Burger brothers and family and last but by no means least, my new found best friend Mr Barry Burger.
Thanks to all of you profusely,
I love my MK 4!!!

P.s Due to my profound satisfaction with my sword cane and all the service, have decided to order one MK 2 sword cane

I had a pleasant surprise yesterday, when my messenger entered my office carrying a box that I knew immediately was my cane. It is everything that I wanted it to be, and more. The craftsmanship is superb, and the engraving is beautifully done by someone who must obviously be a master engraver. I am extremely pleased. The blade is excellent, nice edge. As I mentioned to you, we travel with a very heavy SWAT security detail, and one of the guards was examining the cane (I did not tell him it was a sword cane) –well, he pressed the release button and got a shock. He ended up wanting to see all of my other sword canes and gun canes. Yours, however, is the crown of my collection can’t wait to receive the renderings for the boot knife that I has asked you to design for me.

Just wanted to let you know I just got home today and received by order. Absolutely amazing work. Defiantly the best i've ever seen. I attend a lot of renaissance festivals and other re-enactment events so I wanted something plain but realistic and functional. The two canes you made will be perfect. Some of the events I go to are somewhat iffy about sword canes so I wanted a regular version just in case. I will definitely be recommending your work to others, and I will probably be ordering anther customized cane for my own use. thanks again!!

Hello Barry
The sword cane arrived safely last Thursday. It’s magnificent in every aspect, from its unique design right through to the materials used. The craftsmanship is superb. The elegance of the Warthog Ivory Tusk handle with the black carbon shaft makes for a perfect combination. The engraving of the blade and fittings with Prins Classic 24K Gold Inlay is most impressive, as is the cantilever release mechanism. A plus point of the Mk 4 shafts, the join is not visible, making it very discreet. I would like to thank you for the discreet delivery.
With kind regards,

Dear Barry,
What a WONDERFUL cane. It is, as you described, beautiful and the awesome craftsmanship is indigenous of the quality products which you so proudly create. The detail of the handle is superb, the carbon shaft and the "seamless appearance" of the cane are a true testament of your creation.
Looking forward to progressing on our two other projects.

Barry,
The package came today. I know all the ladies who work at our post office, and they were all very curious about it. The cane is elegant. Stunning. Discrete and subtle, elegant enough to justify never being confiscated without a fight. It would be equally at home in the halls of congress or in the horse barn.
By owning one of these sticks, I feel I have joined an elite group of people.
The size of the handle was smaller than I expected, but being smaller would make it more versatile and easier to thrust. I expected more of a counter balance between handle and shaft.
The weight is a little further forward on the blade than I expected, it is clearly a rapier.
The fit and finish of each item is superb. The seam between shaft and handle is essentially invisible, all transitions are smooth. The release/lock is sufficient and definitive. I could see myself carrying it during the interval at a west side theatre. The folding knife is elegant and pretty. It locks and releases as if it has done so for a thousand years.
The twisting of the damascus it good, symmetrical, sharp. The engraving is excellent. I can see all the hand work, and it is good. This walking stick is something to be proud of, and I am.
Thank You.

Hi Barry,
My custom cane today and I’m thrilled with it. The craftsmanship and quality are evident. I was impressed with the sharpness and clarity of the engraving. It matches the official drawing of our class crest perfectly. I also liked the US AIR FORCE ACADEMY and Celtic band around the bottom. I wasn’t expecting the narrow Celtic band surrounding the crest and it just sets it off perfectly not that I need a cane, but that I have such a beautiful one with custom engraving. It’s truly one of a kind. Thank you so much. Now that the ice has been broken, as soon as the economy picks up, I may start considering something even more ambitious with a Mk V and more custom engraving with gold inlay. These Custom Burger Canes are truly heirlooms.
Thank you again,

The Mk1 just arrived and I'm very pleased. The cane itself looks good, especially the T-handle, and it appears to be quite sturdy. Even the case is great. Although a Poniard doesn't require the level of craftsmanship of a double edged blade, I like the little touches you applied to it. It looks really cool. The separation mechanism releasing the blade works smoothly. I'm now even more anxious to get a look at my Kk4 model which is on the way.

As you know the berg is a very hostile environment for walking sticks, my MKII has come out tops every time. Thank you for the excellent quality product, I always feel 100% comfortable every time I use it as I know it will not let me down.
Oh and as for wear and tear, it still looks great, and you would never think its been all over the berg.

I will keep it safe and do my very best to keep it in tip top condition. Both of the canes are brill. Thank you once again Barry for a great service, and I will certainly recommend you everytime I get the chance.
Yours sincerely
A very happy customer

Hello Barry,
The cane arrived today. The fit and finish are excellent. I didn't expect it to be such, but the joint on the MKIV is basically undetectable. Hopefully it would never be used for its hidden attribute, but would be formidable if needed.

Barry,
I received your sword cane this week and just want to say it is absolutely gorgeous. I use a cane to walk with everyday so I thought no one would notice the new Burger cane. Most did notice the beautiful cane but no one knew it's secret. I received many compliments on finally having a bit of class and style and getting away from the standard metal and rubber handled orthopedic cane I usually use. This cane handles my above average size very well and will become my constant companion. I may need to purchase some more ferrules from you as I'm sure I'm going to be needing them. Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks so very much!
Sincerely,

Needless to say, I was delighted to receive my exactly when you said it would be ready. I am impressed with the Craftmans detail and workmanship of the piece. I now wish that I had only inquired as to a more engraved blade. What a wonderful working piece. You should know that although I wanted for the blade, I actually had the misfortune of injuring my knee two days prior to receipt. I immediately put it to work. I had several comments as to the beauty of the piece. Not one noticed its secret and that is exactly what I wanted. Since then, I have carried it with confidence and it has become a steady companion. You should know that I took it to Notre Dame and was attending a Rosary ceremony at the Grotto and gentleman of approximately 70 years looked over and complimented me on my walking stick and with a knowing wink said that Burger is a fine stick indeed! I was thrilled at the compliment.

Your prompt service and shipping was unbelievable for a truly custom work, you did every thing you said you would, but shipping was shorter than expected. The quality of workmen ship is unmatched. I look forward to my next order.

Barry and all at Burger Knives,
I was very impressed with the stellar reviews written by your customers, a lot of whom buy your swordcanes as gifts, or collectables - because of this, I was a bit reserved since my need was a cane, and my intention was to take one of your renowned works of art and put it to "work." As I kept reading however one fact kept surfacing in those letters - superior quality. Upon finishing the last article and perusing your website, I abandoned months of research on canes and I ordered my MK1!
All I can say after unwrapping it , is WOW!!!!! IT FITS LIKE A GLOVE, and the materials are absolutely top-notch! What's really interesting is how much EASIER it is to use and carry than ANY other cane I have tried. The release is smooth, and the blade? WOW! This cane is unique, solid, and just plain cool!!!
Barry, I was looking for a cane to help me walk - what you delivered delivers far more than that; this beauty actually inspires pride and confidence... something I never expected. I see now why you call it a walking assistant... ;-)
A thousand thanks,
Chris - PROUD customer for life.

Dear Mr. Burger:
I just received your stunning Mark I Tactical Walking Stick. Your attention to prompt shipment is greatly appreciated as it only took seven days from the date you shipped the Mark I. As to the Mark I itself, I am awestruck. It is truly a beautiful example of old world craftsmanship coupled with modern technology. I shall honor the Mark I and one day pass it on with pride to my heirs.
Kindest regards,

Barry,
I received my mk-4 last Saturday and it is truly a work of art. The blade is beautiful, and I am impressed with the engineering of the internal locking mechanism. The seam on the carbon fiber is just about invisible.
The piece is beautiful – (my wife even approves – she wants a similar umbrella – something to think about?)
I think my next piece will include some engraving…

Barry,
You are right, it has been a long wait, but, one well worth doing, to receive my specially made Mark IV.
By the way, you promised delivery by Dec. 22, it arrived on Dec. 20, 2005. Just in time to try it out before the Holidays...and what a fantastic timing.
Again I have to thank you for your patience and cordial responses and acceding to making a cane to the specs. which I requested. When we first met at the Atlanta Blade Show this year, and saw your finished product, I walked around, saw some Members of the Guild walking around, using your cane, I stopped them and one of them even told me that he had used your cane recently for convalescence, after having had an accident. I was then convinced that, one of my requirements for weight bearing will be satisfied. Well, I am more than impressed with the outstanding sturdiness, finish, design and beauty.
The breakdown system is really practical in that it is easy to travel, as well as being able to carry as a swagger for short walks, as still have the "lighter, handier" double protection at hand. I believe this is almost a most, since it is being offered. The "T" handle beauty and practicality are superb.
My son is here in Miami from Rhode Island to share on the upcoming holidays. he is very impressed with it, we both agree that it makes this cane an heirloom item.
You have gone way beyond the call of duty to satisfy this customer. Thanks for the personal touch and note.
If you wish, you may use this letter as well as my name as an endorsement for your outstanding product and personal detail to customer satisfaction.

Dear Barry,
Just wanted to let you know that the final part of the package has arrived. As expected it is absolutely beautiful and i could not be happier. The quality is absolutely beyond what i expected and it definitely is well and truly far superior to any other sword cane i have come across. I am absolutely one very satisfied customer and will certainly be placing another order very soon. I would urge anyone who is interested in purchasing a sword cane to look no further than "Burger" while it may cost you a little more than other products on the market; you know why it costs a little more when you feel and see the quality, workmanship and balance. If you go to another supplier, as i have in the past, you will live to regret it as the quality of the Burger product is beyond reproach. I also wish to thank you for your patience and the professional manner in which you have conducted all your dealings with me. Honestly you have a fan for life in the quality of your work. Also i would like to commend you on your brilliant and discreet delivery method.

Once again i wish to thank you for all your assistance and patience . Also once again the quality of your cane surpasses any others i have seen; as i stated earlier in our correspondance i have had a cold steel sword cane in the past and it would truly be an injustice to you and your product to place them in the same category. I now understand why your canes are so much more than others available, and proving you only get what you pay for. My previous sword cane only cost me two hundred dollars and while i took great care of it the shaft has all but fallen apart and the blade is very dull and slightly warped. I can honestly say it was not worth a quarter of what i paid for it. I have no such concerns with your product.

Barry...
The stiletto cane came on Thursday of last week. The quality is as I have come to expect...unsurpassed. It has taken it's place as cane #6 in my study. I wish I would have opted for the gold inlay over the initials...remind me of this on the order for #7. So, now to the Bowie...when can I reasonably expect it's delivery knowing full-well that "quality" not "speed" is the is the operative word.

I received my Mark IV Friday morning, which was only seven calendar days (including a national holiday) after first emailing you with all my questions. I was impressed by the excellent craftsmanship that went into the production of this fine cane. The carbon fiber weave shines in the sunlight and the warthog ivory tusk fits my hand as if it was molded to it. The release mechanism and the blade are works of art. I want to thank you for easing the pain of my recent back surgery.

Wanted to add my input as a testimonial to the grandeur of the sword cane i received today. not only did it meet my expectations....it exceeded them. the craftsmanship and embellishment: exquisite and outstanding. the correspondence of the staff added to the what i will call "cane" experience. a wonderful experience indeed. i pulled the blade out and thought to myself "oh yes, ." thank you!
 July 07

Hello Barry, I am happy to confirm receipt of my complete consignment. A prime reason drawing me to place an order was the clear pride you have in your products, which becomes apparent when perusing the website. Nevertheless, there was always the concern that reality would not live up to the anticipation - but I needn't have worried. The overall quality is most impressive both in terms of materials & craftsmanship. The locking mechanism is so sweet & the whole so tactile - I can hardly put it down! Your list of dissatisfied customers (if indeed you have such a thing) must be extremely short. Thanks & Regards,

It was kinda funny......I was reading your e-mail , and checking the tracking number, when the door bell rang....It was the postman with the cane.....
It looks beautiful....it is flawless in everyway...the craftsmanship is spectacular.....I will be proud to own and display it
Thanks again.....
Feb 07

Dear Barry,
The cane has arrived, and it is fabulous!!!!!! I cannot think of anything i would have asked for differently, except , if I had thought about it, I might have talked to you about the possibility of putting a large "T" on the very top of the head of the cane where the silver is smooth. But that is only an afterthought, and I probably would not have had it done anyway, assuming that it is possible to have done it.
So I am totally pleased with the outcome. if you ever want a reference to a potential client, please let me know if I can help.
Jim Treadway Feb 07

Hi – The cane arrived well on time and quite safe – thankyou! My husband was speechless! He touched it and turned it and pulled it out the sheath and put it back, studied it, stroked it…sighed and made one comment “I have no words to describe how pleased I am and how honored to possess such a cane, it is best I keep perfectly quiet”….The size is perfect and suits the floor to hand distance. Thank you for all – we shall indeed treasure it as an “Heirloom” – my son will be most envious to say the least.

Dear Mr. Burger
Finally I got the cane. Excellent cane, excellent job. The cane is heavy enough, the right weight because I do not like them to light, the engraving in the cane as well as in the blade is superb. Thank you very much for a excellent work.

Barry, I received the cane and it is like a piece of art. I am very happy
with it and if you ever come up with a new model or just some improvement
in design, please notify me ASAP. I am already considering purchasing
another one, just to have a spare, in case something were to happen to it. I
want you to please, tell everyone involved with creating this cane, that I
appreciate the craftsmanship and pride in their work, that I commend them
all.

The composite material pattern really gives the cane an elegant finish. Thank you for exceeding my expectations!

Just a quick email to send my heartfelt thanks to you and your company. If you remember, I ordered an embellished MK2 swordcane from you a few weeks back for my Uncle. The cane has since arrived and it could not be more beautiful. The quality of service you provided - from your phone manner, to the obvious care that was taken in wrapping the parcel for shipping, to the cane itself- is a rare trait in today's business world and I want you to know that it was much appriciated by myself and my uncle. I can honestly say it was a pleasure doing business with you!
This was the second cane my family has purchased from Burger Knives, and I doubt it will be the last - you have loyal customers in us and we will be quick to recommend you to others.
Thanks again and well done on a fantastic job,

I returned home today and the Mark III was waiting for me at the

opened the box and saw the craftsmanship on my new cane, and I am a
scholar of words. It is not a toy, but a quality defense weapon that
is made better and has more balance than the epee of my college days
on the fencing team. It is more than I even imagined and will be a
keepsake to be passed down to my son and grandson. Thank you for
creating quality products in this day and age and thank you so much
for proving so much service to an old man. If I can be of service to
you in any way, please just let me know.

I'm sorry that I don't have the vocabulary to express how happy & pleased I am with the cane.It is absolutely GREAT. I can see that you personally took extra pains to put all of the components together. I am extremely happy and more than satisfied. It is definetly worth the wait.Thank you for the extra measure of including the additional tips. Would it be possible for you to mail me the brochure on your folding and straight blade knives? This would be for myself and a fellow I work with who has expressed interest. Again, thank you for a project well done. And please extend my appreciation to the engraver and the others of your staff who participated in the project. We will certainly be doing more business.
