Good Morning,
The package arrived yesterday, and we
couldn't have been more excited. The
seams, size and color on the ivory, and
overall look were as exquisite as we had
hoped. A very heartfelt thank you for a
brilliant piece that my father is going
to LOVE.
Kind Regards,

Testimonial:
Having read many of the testimonials I
was expecting something very special.
But what I got was something else. The
cane fills all of my expectations,
excellent ! But the service which I
received was beyond all expectations. I
feel that I have won a friend, someone
who reaches my own exacting demands and
does it with great humour. As a former
member of Britain's military elite, I
have the feeling that I would be happy
to work in your team. Thanks for
everything !

Barry,
I just received my custom Country Cane
today and I am extremely pleased with
it. The craftsmanship and quality of the
cane sword is phenomenal. The balance is
superb when wielding the sword and while
sheathed in the cane. I am planning to
integrate this as part of my martial
arts weapon training routines. Thank you
for a great product. Now I understand
all the great reviews and testimonies
posted on your site, well deserved.
Thank you

Hi Barry,
I just wanted to let you know that I
picked up my new custom plain cane today
and cannot begin to tell you how pleased
I am with it. It was more than worth the
wait. The craftsmanship is exquisite and
it is just absolutely beautiful. I
really love the engraving with the gold
inlay, it is very impressive! I sure
wish I could have funded engraving all
parts of the cane, it must be
spectacular. I have already had people
commenting on how amazing it is. You are
truly a master at your art! I will
cherish my custom cane for many years to
come and look forward to possibly adding
more of your creations to my collection
in the future. Thank you again for such
a remarkable, functional work of art!
Best Regards,

Dear Barry,
Regarding my order of the Mk4 on October
12th, 2012, I was anticipating an email
confirmation of shipment by the first of
November and hoped for actual deliver
prior to December. You cannot imagine
what a pleasant surprise it was to have
the postman deliver my beautiful sword
cane on October 20th, a mere eight days
after ordering from the USA!! The Mk4 is
truly a work of art. Fit and finish are
outstanding and the join indiscernible
except under the closest scrutiny. The
cane is elegantly slim and lightweight,
yet solidly constructed. The blade is
ground to perfection and the length
perfect. My only complaint is that I am
so enamoured of your craftsmanship and
customer service that it will not be
long before I am compelled to purchase
another.
You all should be very proud that in an
era of mass production and shoddy
workmanship you stand amongst the very
few remaining true craftsmen in this
world.
My best regards,
(Mk4 model Tee handle woven carbon

Hello Barry,
My cane came today! 10 days before the
expected date. A testament to the postal
systems of our respective countries. The
cane surpasses my expectations. The
engraving is a masterwork. it is clean
and precise to an unimaginable degree. I
didn't know that this kind of old world
quality was still available in this day
and age! The cane itself is also
exquisite. Light but immensely strong
and the fittings and mechanism are
obviously held to very close tolerances.
The line between the cap of the blade
and the rest of the grip is so close it
looks like they are one piece of metal.
I am truly impressed!
I cannot say enough good things about
this piece. Truly I am overwhelmed.
Thank you very much for making something
I will cherish for a lifetime!

Hi Barry, just to say
thank you, we received the cane on time
and in perfect condition. I “convinced’
my wife to buy it as a birthday present
for me, not because I am old enough or
need a defensive edged weapon, but
because as an engineer I enjoy the
exquisite workmanship. Good guns, good
knives and (now) your sword canes do
that to me!

Dear Barry
I received the package today from you
containing my ‘retirement present’. I
was absolutely stunned at the excellent
craftsmanship and care and attention to
detail that has been shown. Thank you so
much for making it and sending it to me
so well packaged. I will cherish it for
many years and seeing as I am a keen
hiker – it will be well used. I suspect
that in the future I will order another
one for my son – when the time is right.
Many Thanks and Kind Regards,

Hi

I’ve
just received the walking cane, such craftsmanship is hard to find today. As
they say “...they don’t make them like the old days anymore....”. Anyway, I am
very happy it is now in my possession and I shall enjoy using it for many years
to come. Anyway, once again, please thank everyone for me, especially you for my
walking cane. It is truly pleasing to the eye and I am grateful you went to all
that trouble for me to have it.

buying the first Stiletto Cane, buying the first MK4, sending the Stiletto cane
back to be fixed, getting it back and getting the second MK4 has been just
incredible, as you have been truly fantastic! Thank you and I will always be in
your debt. Kindest & warmest regards (Mk4 Model Tamboti handle) |

The

first thing I have from South Africa. One question regarding the strap. Where is
the proper location of the strap in relation to the button? I would think it
would be on the handle of the cane, not the shaft. Thanks for any guidance you
can provide. Have a wonderful holiday season and a very prosperous new year.

made for me. I was greatly impressed
at the quality as was my entire
family. My sons wanted the canes now
but I explained that they would be
used by me before being passed down
through the generations. The
workmanship was beyond what I had
expected and they are beautiful. My
mom was particularly impressed by
the ivory handle cane and its
craftsmanship. Thanks and I am definitely a more
than satisfied customer and would
recommend your work to anyone. (Custom Mk4 model and Standard Cane

Hi Barry, I received my cane the other day and
I was absolutely amazed. Too see my
idea so perfectly realized was
breathtaking. I am still amazed at
the level of detail you accomplished
in this piece, and I can see why it
would take months of hard work to
achieve such an impressive result. I
have the urge to find a magnifying
glass, because I feel that if I
could look closer I would find even
more detail. And the balance is no
less impressive. The cane itself is
perfectly balanced, and a joy to
use, but I was truly struck by the
balance on the blade as well. I
practice swordplay in my spare time,

Barry,
I received my
MK1 shortly after writing to you
yesterday. First I want to thank you
for the level of customer service
you provided me with; it is beyond
rare in the world today to be
treated with the courtesy and
respect that you show for your
customers. The work you have done is
excellent. A simple yet beautiful
MK1 that I will use every day
without worry. The ivory warthog
pistol grip handle you selected has
the perfect curve and fit. I have no
concerns about this item lasting a
life time. I am beyond grateful for
the level of craftsmanship you have
shown. I thank you for helping me to
acquire a bit of freedom, and
confidence when walking around by
myself. I will no longer stress over
someone trying to take advantage of
my disability. I will be placing an
order for an heirloom piece in the
near future. I am very happy I
decided to talk to you before making
my decision to purchase a lesser
costing product that would no doubt
have been far inferior to your
standards of quality. I will spread
word of your outstanding work to all
of the men and women I served with
in Iraq and Afghanistan that may be
in need of your service.
Sincerely,
( Mk1

Barry,
My cane
arrived last Saturday, really fast
shipping! I was not home and had to
wait until Tuesday to pick it up
since Monday was a holiday here.
I am very
pleased with the high quality of the
material and craftsmanship. I am
particularly impressed with how well
the seam is concealed. While I hope
to never need to draw the blade in a
confrontational situation it is very
reassuring to know it is well made
and able to do its’ job.
Thank you.

remarkable. I have always seen these
things in movies but not in
personal. So amazing, beautifully
finished and just looks good. I can
carry it anywhere and virtually any
place. It is lightweight and feels
extremely strong. Durable.. Thank
you once again. Sure I will come
back to you again. Be sure to know
that you will be solely recommended.

Today I
received both my breakdown sword
cane and locking folder. They are
both excellent and even better than
I anticipated. I would not hesitate
to recommend your product line of
sword canes and knives to anyone.
Furthermore, if I can ever work any
one of these items into one of my
articles, even if it's no more than
a prop in the photography, you can
be sure that I will do so.
Congratulations on the superb
craftsmanship exhibited by these two
wonderful blades. I am more than
satisfied.

Hi Barry,
I just wanted to let you know that
the lovely cane with the warthog
ivory handle has arrived and I am
quite pleased. As discussed, it was
important for me to have the handle
work both right and left handed, and
you have done a great job in making
this so. As promised, the
workmanship is beautiful and I only
wish I could have afforded the time
to have you embellish the blade with
some of your amazing artwork. Next
one, perhaps.
Thanks again,

Dear
Barry;
I
received the cane the other day, and
I am very impressed with your
craftsmanship in the design and
build of this cane and it’s case.
It’s appearance is just what I was
looking for in it’s elegant design
and yet not showy. Time will tell if
the construction will tolerate my
usage, but I’m fairly sure it will.
I have only one suggestion, and that
is the rubber tips could be of a
more durable nature. On my normal
cane I go through a tip every three
months on average, and the tips
provided with your cane seem to be
of a lesser rubber durability and
lack an inserted metal washer which
protects the cane’s tip should the
rubber wear down.
Yours
Truly

...and I wonder if I ever fall out
of this trance again: Your
masterpiece, dear Barry, arrived
this morning. Ever since, I have not allowed a
distance of more than a yard between
me and my cane - I keep carrying it
around, admiring by sight and touch
every minute detail about it... It
feels like I'm getting used to some
kind of samurai attitude: This cane
will never leave me, and never will
I leave it for to anybody else to
touch - except my partner, who has
after all these years acquired the
right to carefully hold and feel
this work of art: On the condition,
of course, that I remain present all
the time. Now you know how proud I
am about owning it, I can hardly
imagine how proud you must be, being
able to create and to craft such a
perfect thing. With stars in her eyes, P.S.: How ingenious to send it the
way you did.

Barry,
I
apologise for not writing earlier,
but I have been away from home on
several business trips lately and
have not had time to write until
now. The Mk3 Sword Cane arrived
right on time, the box had suffered
some external damage from rough
handling during the journey, but
thanks to your excellent packing
there was no damage to the Cane or
case. The fit and finish of the
Sword Cane is Excellent, and
Craftsmanship is Superb! There is no
looseness or rattle while walking
with the cane, and the locking
mechanism is positive and without
play. My complements to you and your
employees for making such a quality
product in this age of mass
production! The adjusted length of
the cane fits me perfectly, and the
weight and balance is perfect. The
woven fiber shaft is slightly more
of a matte finish than I was
expecting from your photographs, but
actually I prefer this to a glossy
finish as it is less noticeable and
less likely to show scratches from
daily use. You are correct about the
blade length being chosen correctly,
it is short enough to be drawn
quickly but still long enough to be
quite intimidating if deployed in an
emergency situation. The balance of
the blade is excellent and the
turned Tamboli handle is the perfect
length. This Sword Cane puts the
others in my collection to shame,
and will hold an honored position in
my home. I will discuss an idea that
I had for a MK2 hiking stick / cane
combination at a later date, so
looking forward to another Sword
Cane purchase from you in the
future!
Thanks!

Mr Burger, I received my cane today! The cane
is everything I expected and
more. The quality of the cane/blade
is excellent and I expect to use it
for many years with the confidence
of having the blade if needed.
Comments/questions; As I said, the
quality of the cane is excellent
therefore I found it puzzling that
there are two scratches in the
forward end of the handle. Since the
item was well packed the scratches
could only have originated at the
workshops. Now, I'm not upset about
the scratches. I mention them so you
can look at your manufacturing
process to see where the scratches
originated, and eliminate the
problem. Sincerely, (Mk3 model- Hand Cast Nickel Silver

The cane is excellent. I can't
believe the detail and quality of
the engraving. The workmanship is
excellent. The cane is
lightweight and the seam where the
blade fits is
almost invisible. There is no rattle
or movement of any kind from the
blade when it is in the shaft. This
is a one of a kind item that I am
very proud to own. Thank you, (Custom Mk4 Model- Titanium handle

Dearest Mr Barry Burger and Burger
Knives Team
Absolutely thrilled to repeat I have
received my amazing dream sword cane
MK 4. All my previous praise is a
gross understatement, positively
craftsman par excellence.
Undoubtedly master craftsman and a
winning design with finishing to an
intricate detail, that leaves the
beholder flabbergasted. My MK 4 was
thankfully received in perfect
condition. As I opened the package,
absolutely fascinating, the Burger
Knives Team’s attention to detail is
unparalleled. I carefully
scrutinised every millimetre of it,
and yes, the Burger Knives Team gets
my approval and surely no accolade
as yet could appropriately crown
craftsmanship of this stature. As
mentioned previously, sword canes
should be renamed ‘Burger canes’!
Even love the noises the blade
produces on sheathing (thanks to the
super quality and perfect fit of the
impressive fittings). My testimonial
proudly reads of the ultimate sword
cane still superbly handcrafted this
day. The sheer feel of unmatched
design unparalleled craftsmanship
and the perfect selected combination
of the finest materials on the
market today allows the beholder to
be enthralled in a most intricately
stealthy weapon coupled with the
finesse of an exquisite robust yet
sleek stallion, an instrument that
would be confidently and proudly
brandished by warrior and king
alike. Hats off to the Burger Custom
Canes team. Even the quality crafted
sheath (complete with spongy layer
sandwiched between the perfectly
handy, grime resistant materials),
complete with Burger logo, simple
and perfect. Not forgetting the
lovely leather riempie wrist brace,
another wonderful additive, that
makes the Burger custom cane
unparalleled, not withstanding the
appropriately protective packaging
and all in the most timeous,
respectable transaction, no mess no
fuss, and WOW! The ultimate sword
cane, deserving the highest
accolade.
Thanks Burger Custom Canes, Burger
Knives Team and the Burger brothers
and family and last but by no means
least, my new found best friend Mr
Barry Burger.
Thanks to all of you profusely,
I love my MK 4!!!
Sincerely
P.s Due to my profound satisfaction
with my sword cane and all the
service, have decided to order one

Hello Friend,
I
apologize for the delay in reporting
the successful delivery of the Mark
III. I was called to India and
returned to find your magnificent
work waiting. You have surpassed my
every expectation. I am impressed by
the balance, quality and sharpness
of the blade itself. I find the feel
and stability of the locking
mechanism extremely satisfying. And
as for the inlay and engraving work
I am amazed at how perfectly you
rendered my exact wishes from my
unclear description. And the
engraving work you chose to surround
those symbols was perfect. I could
not be more pleased with any facet
of its construction. You are indeed
a master of your craft, sir.
Thank you and good luck.

The swordcane arrived today, about
the time you said it would. The
workmanship is absolutely stunning,
especially the warthog ivory pistol
grip with the leopard scrimshaw
figure. The padded carrying sack is
very nice and well made and the
braided leather wrist strap is also
a nice touch. I will start saving
up for another one; maybe with
engraving this time. The best to
you and your associates. If you are
ever planning a show in the US,
please let me know. I would like to
try and attend and see more of your
great work. Thank you for the
privilege to carry and use this
handsome objet d'art.

Dear Barry,
I
had a pleasant surprise yesterday,
when my messenger entered my office
carrying a box that I knew
immediately was my cane. It is
everything that I wanted it to be,
and more. The craftsmanship is
superb, and the engraving is
beautifully done by someone who must
obviously be a master engraver. I
am extremely pleased. The blade is
excellent, nice edge. As I
mentioned to you, we travel with a
very heavy SWAT security detail,
and one of the guards was examining
the cane (I did not tell him it was
a sword cane) –well, he pressed the
release button and got a shock. He
ended up wanting to see all of my
other sword canes and gun canes.
Yours, however, is the crown of my
collection can’t wait to receive the

Dear Barry,
Just wanted to confirm that my
cane arrived safely at my home this
afternoon...no hassles. It sure
looks great: the hand engraving, the
band and the overall look. Once
again you have demonstrated the
amazing craft in which Burger Knives
excels and hence gets his
reputation.

shipment on Sept. 22. It is exactly
as advertised and works beautifully.
Anyway, thank you. I will probably
order a knife in the near future.

Dear
Barry,
I finally made it
through our post office red tape and
took possession of my MKII. It is a
beautifully hand-crafted instrument.
The breakdown system is expertly
fitted so that it is almost
impossible to see where the two
parts of the cane are joined
together. I am very pleased with the
sword cane and look forward to many
years of use and enjoyment.
Thanks again.

Just wanted to let you know I just
got home today and received by
order. Absolutely amazing work.
Defiantly the best i've ever seen.
I attend a lot of renaissance
festivals and other re-enactment
events so I wanted something plain
but realistic and functional. The
two canes you made will be perfect.
Some of the events I go to are
somewhat iffy about sword canes so I
wanted a regular version just in
case. I will definitely be
recommending your work to others,
and I will probably be ordering
anther customized cane for my own
use. thanks again!!

Hello Barry The sword cane arrived safely last
Thursday. It’s magnificent in every
aspect, from its unique design right
through to the materials used. The
craftsmanship is superb. The
elegance of the Warthog Ivory Tusk
handle with the black carbon shaft
makes for a perfect combination. The
engraving of the blade and fittings
with Prins Classic 24K Gold Inlay is
most impressive, as is the
cantilever release mechanism. A
plus point of the Mk 4 shafts, the
join is not visible, making it very
discreet. I would like to thank you
for the discreet delivery. With kind regards,

Barry,
The package came
today. I know all the ladies who
work at our post office, and they
were all very curious about it. The
cane is elegant. Stunning. Discrete
and subtle, elegant enough to
justify never being confiscated
without a fight. It would be equally
at home in the halls of congress or
in the horse barn.
By owning one of
these sticks, I feel I have joined
an elite group of people.
The size of the
handle was smaller than I expected,
but being smaller would make it more
versatile and easier to thrust. I
expected more of a counter balance
between handle and shaft.
The weight is a
little further forward on the blade
than I expected, it is clearly a
rapier.
The fit and finish of
each item is superb. The seam
between shaft and handle is
essentially invisible, all
transitions are smooth. The
release/lock is sufficient and
definitive. I could see myself
carrying it during the interval at a
west side theatre. The folding knife
is elegant and pretty. It locks and
releases as if it has done so for a
thousand years.
The twisting of the
damascus it good, symmetrical,
sharp. The engraving is excellent.
I can see all the hand work, and it
is good. This walking stick is
something to be proud of, and I am.
Thank You.

Hi
Barry, My custom cane today and I’m
thrilled with it. The craftsmanship
and quality are evident. I was
impressed with the sharpness and
clarity of the engraving. It
matches the official drawing of our
class crest perfectly. I also liked
the US AIR FORCE ACADEMY and Celtic
band around the bottom. I wasn’t
expecting the narrow Celtic band
surrounding the crest and it just
sets it off perfectly not that I
need a cane, but that I have such a
beautiful one with custom engraving.
It’s truly one of a kind. Thank you
so much. Now that the ice has been
broken, as soon as the economy picks
up, I may start considering
something even more ambitious with a
Mk V and more custom engraving with
gold inlay. These Custom Burger
Canes are truly heirlooms. Thank you again, (Plain Cane Model, Engraved Titanium

solid and well made and with a
lovely heft to it I wasn't
expecting. I'm very
pleased with it and at some point in
the future I'm sure I will order
another with a few more

Mr. Burger: The Mk1 just arrived and I'm very
pleased. The cane itself looks good,
especially the T-handle, and it
appears to be quite sturdy. Even the
case is great. Although a Poniard
doesn't require the level of
craftsmanship of a double edged
blade, I like the little touches you
applied to it. It looks really cool.
The separation mechanism releasing
the blade works smoothly. I'm now
even more anxious to get a look at
my Kk4 model which is on the way.

Barry, I am very pleased with the
custom cane/shooting stick. The fit
and finish are top quality and the
latching mechanism is very sound. I
was impressed with your website and
follow through while we were
designing this and could not
be happier with how it worked out.
Thanks again,

Hi Barry Just wanted to let you know, I
bought the MkII swordcane at the
Easter knife show in Durban last
year. I have been using it for
hiking, and have done a 26km hike at
Giants Castle as well as 35km at
Royal Natal, just to mention a few.
As you know the berg is a very
hostile environment for walking
sticks, my MKII has come out tops
every time. Thank you for the
excellent quality product, I always
feel 100% comfortable every time I
use it as I know it will not let me
down. Oh and as for wear and tear, it
still looks great, and you would
never think its been all over the
berg. Thanks again. Kind Regards (Mk2 Model)

Hi Barry, A good friend of mine ( Ahmed )
recently met your good self while in
S. Africa and purchased a MK 1 Cane
Sword with a Tamboti handle. I had mentioned that I was
interested in the same, having seen
your web site and asked him to look
out for one. To my surprise he
presented me with the same as a gift
on his return to Ireland. So I
thought I would drop you a line to
let you know how delighted I am with
the cane. The workmanship is just
fantastic and this is reflected in
the finished product. Just as
promised on your web site. I look
forward to doing more business with
you in the future. (Mk1 Model)

amazing craftsmanship - well, the

able to present both a useful and
handsome accoutrement as a gift to
these guys was a real privilege... Thank you for helping make this past
Christmas a memorable event for all
concerned. All the best to you and yours! (Mk1 models Tamboti handles)

I am extremely happy with it. The
workmanship is absolutely fantastic.
The way that the join is extremely
hard to see is amazing, and the feel
of the blade sliding in to the cane
itself is so smooth. I will keep it
safe and do my very best to keep it
in tip top condition. Both of the
canes are brill. Thank you once
again Barry for a great service, and
I will certainly recommend you
everytime I get the chance.

Barry, I received your sword cane this week and
just want to say it is absolutely gorgeous.
I use a cane to walk with everyday so I
thought no one would notice the new Burger
cane. Most did notice the beautiful cane but
no one knew it's secret. I received many
compliments on finally having a bit of class
and style and getting away from the standard
metal and rubber handled orthopedic cane I
usually use. This cane handles my above
average size very well and will become my
constant companion. I may need to purchase
some more ferrules from you as I'm sure I'm
going to be needing them. Please let me know
if this is possible. Thanks so very much! Sincerely,

Needless to say, I was delighted to receive my exactly when
you said it would be ready. I am impressed with the Craftmans detail and
workmanship of the piece. I now wish that I had only inquired as to a more
engraved blade. What a wonderful working piece. You should know that although I
wanted for the blade, I actually had the misfortune of injuring my knee two days
prior to receipt. I immediately put it to work. I had several comments as to the
beauty of the piece. Not one noticed its secret and that is exactly what I
wanted. Since then, I have carried it with confidence and it has become a steady
companion. You should know that I took it to Notre Dame and was attending a
Rosary ceremony at the Grotto and gentleman of approximately 70 years looked
over and complimented me on my walking stick and with a knowing wink said that
Burger is a fine stick indeed! I was thrilled at the compliment. Sincerely, |

Barry and all at Burger Knives, I was very impressed with the stellar reviews written by your customers, a lot of whom buy your swordcanes as gifts, or collectables - because of this, I was a bit reserved since my need was a cane, and my intention was to take one of your renowned works of art and put it to "work." As I kept reading however one fact kept surfacing in those letters - superior quality. Upon finishing the last article and perusing your website, I abandoned months of research on canes and I ordered my MK1! All I can say after unwrapping it , is WOW!!!!! IT FITS LIKE A GLOVE, and the materials are absolutely top-notch! What's really interesting is how much EASIER it is to use and carry than ANY other cane I have tried. The release is smooth, and the blade? WOW! This cane is unique, solid, and just plain cool!!! Barry, I was looking for a cane to help me walk - what you delivered delivers far more than that; this beauty actually inspires pride and confidence... something I never expected. I see now why you call it a walking assistant... ;-) A thousand thanks, Chris - PROUD customer for life.

Mark 1, Quality beyond words!!! I hope one day to acquire the Stiletto, as I can remove dagger, and still use the cane, in areas not appropriate to carry concealed. As a veteran of the U.S Marine Corps, U.S.A., my cane is a necessary tool. I will save for years, to own the fine Stiletto!!
Warmest Regards!!

Good news - it has arrived! I'm extremely pleased with it, it's exactly as on the website except that the quality obviously isn't apparent until you get the cane in your hands. The workmanship is lovely; you should be very proud of your product. I am recommending you to my friends who see the cane. Thank you very much, and I wish you all the best. (Mk1 Titanium)

Dear Mr. Burger: I just received your stunning Mark I Tactical Walking Stick. Your attention to prompt shipment is greatly appreciated as it only took seven days from the date you shipped the Mark I. As to the Mark I itself, I am awestruck. It is truly a beautiful example of old world craftsmanship coupled with modern technology. I shall honor the Mark I and one day pass it on with pride to my heirs. Kindest regards, Russ

Barry, I received my mk-4 last Saturday and it is truly a work of art. The blade is beautiful, and I am impressed with the engineering of the internal locking mechanism. The seam on the carbon fiber is just about invisible. The piece is beautiful – (my wife even approves – she wants a similar umbrella – something to think about?) I think my next piece will include some engraving… Best regards, (Mk4 Titanium)

Barry, You are right, it has been a long wait, but, one well worth doing, to receive my specially made Mark IV. By the way, you promised delivery by Dec. 22, it arrived on Dec. 20, 2005. Just in time to try it out before the Holidays...and what a fantastic timing. Again I have to thank you for your patience and cordial responses and acceding to making a cane to the specs. which I requested. When we first met at the Atlanta Blade Show this year, and saw your finished product, I walked around, saw some Members of the Guild walking around, using your cane, I stopped them and one of them even told me that he had used your cane recently for convalescence, after having had an accident. I was then convinced that, one of my requirements for weight bearing will be satisfied. Well, I am more than impressed with the outstanding sturdiness, finish, design and beauty. The breakdown system is really practical in that it is easy to travel, as well as being able to carry as a swagger for short walks, as still have the "lighter, handier" double protection at hand. I believe this is almost a most, since it is being offered. The "T" handle beauty and practicality are superb. My son is here in Miami from Rhode Island to share on the upcoming holidays. he is very impressed with it, we both agree that it makes this cane an heirloom item. You have gone way beyond the call of duty to satisfy this customer. Thanks for the personal touch and note. If you wish, you may use this letter as well as my name as an endorsement for your outstanding product and personal detail to customer satisfaction.

My Mk III came this morning. The Custom Tee Warthog handle is warm and smooth as butter. As a retired police officer I can assure you I know a fine weapon when I see one . The blade and latching mechanism are every thing I expected and more. Thank you for your kind attention to detail when my wife was ordering my cane online. Mrs. Stephens was thrilled when it arrived. Happy St. Patrick's Day from America and thank you again. (Model- Custom Mk3 Tee Handle)

Dear
Barry, Just
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
the
final
part
of
the
package
has
arrived.
As
expected
it
is
absolutely
beautiful
and
i
could
not
be
happier.
The
quality
is
absolutely
beyond
what
i
expected
and
it
definitely
is
well
and
truly
far
superior
to
any
other
sword
cane
i
have
come
across.
I am
absolutely
one
very
satisfied
customer
and
will
certainly
be
placing
another
order
very
soon.
I
would
urge
anyone
who
is
interested
in
purchasing
a
sword
cane
to
look
no
further
than
"Burger"
while
it
may
cost
you
a
little
more
than
other
products
on
the
market;
you
know
why
it
costs
a
little
more
when
you
feel
and
see
the
quality,
workmanship
and
balance.
If
you
go
to
another
supplier,
as i
have
in
the
past,
you
will
live
to
regret
it
as
the
quality
of
the
Burger
product
is
beyond
reproach.
I
also
wish
to
thank
you
for
your
patience
and
the
professional
manner
in
which
you
have
conducted
all
your
dealings
with
me.
Honestly
you
have
a
fan
for
life
in
the
quality
of
your
work.
Also
i
would
like
to
commend
you
on
your
brilliant
and
discreet
delivery
method. SINCEREST
REGARDS
AND
THANKS
(Mk2)

Once again i wish to thank you for all your assistance and patience . Also once again the quality of your cane surpasses any others i have seen; as i stated earlier in our correspondance i have had a cold steel sword cane in the past and it would truly be an injustice to you and your product to place them in the same category. I now understand why your canes are so much more than others available, and proving you only get what you pay for. My previous sword cane only cost me two hundred dollars and while i took great care of it the shaft has all but fallen apart and the blade is very dull and slightly warped. I can honestly say it was not worth a quarter of what i paid for it. I have no such concerns with your product.

I just got the
cane. It's fantastic. I am a long time knife
collector but have never had a sword cane. I
wanted to see the quality before doing
something like a customized cane and the
quality is great. What would your
suggestions be for a customized and
personalized cane? I like something unique.

The cane is perfect, as usual! I am
also very impressed, you did a great job on them. Once
again you have a very satisfied customer. It is a
pleasure to be able to recommend you to others! Also, I
really like the handle on the cane that you picked out ,
it has a lot of character. I look forward to meeting you
someday, I hope. My wife and I have a friend with a
sugar cane plantation in Malawi and if we go to visit
them I would very much enjoy coming down to meet you
all. Good luck with your business and lives.

Barry... The stiletto cane came on Thursday of last week. The quality is as I
have come to expect...unsurpassed. It has taken it's place as cane #6
in my study. I wish I would have opted for the gold inlay over the
initials...remind me of this on the order for #7. So, now to the
Bowie...when can I reasonably expect it's delivery knowing full-well
that "quality" not "speed" is the is the operative word. Again, Holiday Best Wishes to you and yours,

I received my Mark IV Friday morning, which was only
seven calendar days (including a national holiday) after first emailing you
with all my questions. I was impressed by the excellent craftsmanship that
went into the production of this fine cane. The carbon fiber weave shines in
the sunlight and the warthog ivory tusk fits my hand as if it was molded to
it. The release mechanism and the blade are works of art. I want to thank
you for easing the pain of my recent back surgery. |

Wanted
to add my input as a testimonial to the grandeur of the sword cane i
received today. not only did it meet my expectations....it exceeded them.
the craftsmanship and embellishment: exquisite and outstanding. the
correspondence of the staff added to the what i will call "cane" experience.
a wonderful experience indeed. i pulled the blade out and thought to myself
"oh yes, ." thank you! |

Hello Barry, I am happy to confirm receipt of
my complete consignment. A prime reason drawing me to place an order was the
clear pride you have in your products, which becomes apparent when perusing
the website. Nevertheless, there was always the concern that reality would
not live up to the anticipation - but I needn't have worried. The overall
quality is most impressive both in terms of materials & craftsmanship. The
locking mechanism is so sweet & the whole so tactile - I can hardly put it
down! Your list of dissatisfied customers (if indeed you have such a thing)
must be extremely short. Thanks & Regards,

Dear Barry, The cane has arrived, and it is fabulous!!!!!! I cannot think of anything i
would have asked for differently, except , if I had thought about it, I
might have talked to you about the possibility of putting a large "T" on the
very top of the head of the cane where the silver is smooth. But that is
only an afterthought, and I probably would not have had it done anyway,
assuming that it is possible to have done it. So I am totally pleased with the outcome. if you ever want a reference to a
potential client, please let me know if I can help. |

Hi – The cane arrived well on time and quite safe –
thankyou! My husband was speechless! He touched it and turned it and pulled
it out the sheath and put it back, studied it, stroked it…sighed and made
one comment “I have no words to describe how pleased I am and how honored to
possess such a cane, it is best I keep perfectly quiet”….The size is perfect
and suits the floor to hand distance. Thank you for all – we shall indeed
treasure it as an “Heirloom” – my son will be most envious to say the least.

Dear Mr. Burger Finally I got the cane. Excellent cane, excellent job. The cane is heavy

excellent work. |

I am very happy with it and if you ever come up with a new model or just some improvement
in design, please notify me ASAP. I am already considering purchasing
another one, just to have a spare, in case something were to happen to it. I
want you to please, tell everyone involved with creating this cane, that I
appreciate the craftsmanship and pride in their work, that I commend them
all. |

the 36 inches is just right. Tell me what is the wood on the handle, it
reminds me Ironwood found in the deserts of America's Southwest. Looking
forward to ordering a Mk II with the double edge sword. Blessings and
well done, |

future I will be ordering another to a different design just for the
pleasure of owning such a marvelously crafted product

My cane was delivered this afternoon, Nov. 14. I am very
impressed with the look and feel of it. It is sturdy yet extremely light in
weight. The blade appears finely made and is appears very finely crafted.
When I first held the cane it gave me the urge to go for a nice walk! The
composite material pattern really gives the cane an elegant finish. Thank
you for exceeding my expectations! |

Just a quick email to send my heartfelt thanks to you and
your company. If you remember, I ordered an embellished MK2 swordcane from you a
few weeks back for my Uncle. The cane has since arrived and it could not be more
beautiful. The quality of service you provided - from your phone manner, to the
obvious care that was taken in wrapping the parcel for shipping, to the cane
itself- is a rare trait in today's business world and I want you to know that it
was much appriciated by myself and my uncle. I can honestly say it was a
pleasure doing business with you!
This was the second cane my family has purchased from Burger Knives, and I doubt
it will be the last - you have loyal customers in us and we will be quick to
recommend you to others.
Thanks again and well done on a fantastic job, |

I returned home today and the Mark III was waiting for me at
the Post Office. Words fail me when I want to convey my excitement as I opened the box and saw the craftsmanship on my new cane, and I am a
scholar of words. It is not a toy, but a quality defense weapon that
is made better and has more balance than the epee of my college days
on the fencing team. It is more than I even imagined and will be a
keepsake to be passed down to my son and grandson. Thank you for
creating quality products in this day and age and thank you so much
for proving so much service to an old man. If I can be of service to
you in any way, please just let me know.

cut-off. Workmanship is great as to fit and finish. I've used it since receiving
5 days ago and can't find a complaint........except I wish I could have afforded
a bit of engraving to the blade. Thank you for your service and
courtesy.........and for a great product! |

I'm sorry that I don't have the vocabulary to express how
happy & pleased I am with the cane.It is absolutely GREAT. I can see that you
personally took extra pains to put all of the components together. I am
extremely happy and more than satisfied. It is definetly worth the wait.Thank
you for the extra measure of including the additional tips. Would it be possible
for you to mail me the brochure on your folding and straight blade knives? This
would be for myself and a fellow I work with who has expressed interest. Again,
thank you for a project well done. And please extend my appreciation to the
engraver and the others of your staff who participated in the project. We will
certainly be doing more business. |
