There are classic canes, ornate canes and even pimp canes, but the Walking Stick by The Federal, a design studio based in Ottawa, Canada, provides people with a sleek minimalist alternative that bodes well for design-minded individuals. A modern interpretation of the traditional walking stick, it is crafted out of stainless steel and given a sharp silhouette that will complement many lifestyles and, let's face it, various outfits.
Although the Walking Stick by The Federal looks and in fact is very lightweight, it was designed to withstand the vigors of everyday activities. It also boasts a textured handle to ensure that the user is provided with a good grip as well as a knurled foot that provides proper stability and overall sure-footedness in any climate.
