Do any of these canes have a hook at the handle? I use a wheelchair and it 
helps to be able to detach and use a cane easily, and put it back easily.
Thanx

I purchased the new carbon fiber folding cane and like it very much.
I like the way it folds into a reasonably compact bundle, and I
appreciate its solidity when extended.

I had bought the new telescoping cane and mine snapped in half on the
way to Orlando.  What a bummer!
