$150 for hand-carved art like that does sound cheap. I wonder why it's so cheap?
Wait... "Please Note: This Cane is designed for users that weigh up to 200lbs. and up to 6'2"in Height." "The finest oak in the Ukraine" must not be all that sturdy. Lets me out, I'm a good 30 lbs and 2 inches over that limit. I won't complain. Like I said the one I have now is a really badass dark green metallic snakeskin finish, fully adjustable aluminum, even guys three or four hundred lbs and a few inches taller than I can use it. And it was only $30.

Weirdly the most expensive netsuke style item I ever tried to buy was at auction, and went way over what I could afford to pay. That one was not hand carved, it was mass produced plastic and given away in a box of Crackerjack! |

I'm just thinking that if I were to sit down and start carving a piece of hardwood into a new wild-looking cane, and then after umpteen hours of working on it and sanding it and staining it and varnishing it I decide to sell it, I think I'd be wanting more than a hundred and fifty bucks.
There's mass-produced churned-out so-called 'art', and then there's unique hand-carved art.
