[Blindtlk] One More Cane Question

[Chris Nusbaum]

Chris,

Happy New Year to you and to everyone on this list. May 2015 bring many
blessings for us all.

Regarding your question, I currently use an Ambutech ultra-light folding
cane and love it. It is very durable, but is also relatively light for a
folding cane as its name suggests. The Slim Line model which Alyssa
recommends is also very good. I would not recommend the NFB folding cane,
however. I used one successfully for about 3 months. After that time the
cane began to break to the point that I could no longer collapse most of its
sections. They may have fixed this since I returned mine, however.

Hope this helps,

Chris

HI All,
  Ok, sorry for the many many cane-related questions, but I have one more:).
I have been looking for canes and am finding myself not sure which
manufacturers have the best quality. I am interested in one with a soft
grip, light weight, and sturdy feel that is collapsible. Any recommendations
for manufacturers and types or at least recommendations for good places to
find really helpful info about making  the right decision for myself, would
be much appreciated.
Happy new year to all!
Chris
