Le Diabolique weapon canes were invented in 19th-century France during the famous Paris street riots. Used by rioters, a slight pull and turn of the handle prompts sharp, pointed spikes to pop out of the cane’s shaft, inflicting brutal wounds to anyone grasping it. Once tapped on the ground, the spikes disappeared, making it difficult to place blame during the confusion of street riots. Le Diabolique is one of the “Unholy Trinity” of lethal canes, which also includes La Terrible and La Redoutable. These canes were so dangerous that they were quickly banned by the French authorities, and they remain incredibly scarce and highly desired by collectors today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 35 3\/4“ length","brand":"M.S.
