Your wooden cane looks pretty classy. I have an adjustable aluminum one that should do the trick, however. I think I will give it a try.

When I hurt my back a couple of years ago I was using adjustable aluminum crutches at home. I was considering them as an option also. I liked them.


Update... picked up this Komerdell cane and used it this weekend. I don't find it quite as comfortable as my well worn shepherds crook version, but it's a couple ounces lighter, can collapse to a small size and can be made longer if I want it (my regular cane is 90cm)... picked it up at REI for a hefty discount. I don't like the "anti shock" stuff (this isn't) and it seems very stout. http://www.rei.com/product/783183
