Hazel and Holly are ideal wood species for sticks that can be used for self defence as well as a walking aid because they have the twin advantages of being light but tough.

Thoughts on stick for city walking, possible defense applications
I'm fortunate enough not to really NEED a stick to get around. . . but I'm 62, have a bad ankle, my eyesight isn't getting better, and I often walk my dog at light on potholed streets and uneven sidewalks, in an iffy neighborhood.
With this as background: what are your thoughts about a cane to use as a mobility aid with possible self defense applications? I'm thinking about woods, weight, types and shapes of handles, etc.
