Inspired by the carved dragon-heads that once crowned Norse longships, the Viking Draken Cane Handle carries the same power and craftsmanship of ancient Scandinavian artistry. Intricate knotwork and flowing lines evoke the spirit of Odin’s sea-faring warriors — a symbol of courage, leadership, and untamed nature.

Perfect as a display prop, cosplay accessory, or historical reproduction piece, this handle blends bold design with authentic Viking detailing.

📏 Measuring Instructions

This model is decorative only — not intended for heavy support or functional walking canes.

🪓 For Display or Props:

The inner socket is designed for a standard 25 mm (1 inch) dowel or rod.

If your rod differs, measure the outer diameter and scale the handle uniformly in your slicer until it fits snugly.
