    Tim doesn't sell acrylic rods.

    I doubt a mirror would do much at the end of a solid rod.But you never know.

    That acrylic rod lights up better than I thought it would.

    I did put a reflective disc in the rubber tip but i didnt see that much of a difference.

    I was very very impressed at how well the solid Lucite lit up.

    Remember that acrylic is brittle. That is why I told you what blade I used in my Cane saber. It's owner still uses it on a daily basis.

    I was wondering about that. An acrylic cane seemed like an oxymoron. (I say that as someone who has both tried to work with acrylic, and uses a cane. )

    I just typed cane into the search here and the only other one I found was bamboo.

    Check out E.W. Barton-Wright's Self-Defence with a Walking-Stick (published in 1901) and Andrew Chase Cunningham's The Cane as a Weapon (published in 1912). Then there's the French martial art known as Canne de combat. I've been intrigued by this sort of thing since I starting using a cane, but in my case, even a clumsy whack on the head with the German silver handle of my ebony cane would do plenty of damage.
