Sly Cooper Cane - Do you have an idea for possible variations of the cane/stuff?

Hello folks,
first of all, I'm sorry if I violate the rules in this area, please let me know if I do so.

As some of you might know the awesome Jump and Run game Sly Cooper is about a raccoon and his friends and much more. Sly has only one weapon, which isn't really only a weapon, he uses it for climbing, swinging, etc. too.

In my game I want that my main character also has such a cane/staff to use it as a weapon and to move better.
Now I want to ask some of you, if you have some ideas how the staff/cane could look like (should be realistic, I mean that it makes sense that he can climb with it or hang on an edge).
I don't want to copy the Sly Cooper look, even if it's perfect, I want a new design which is just comparable with the design of Sucker Punch Productions' version (the devs).
I am even unsure if I only want a single cane or one for each hand.

This is the Sly Cooper Cane:

A look like this one is also cool:

Thank you for any suggestion. Have a nice day!

 

Why don't you try to do it for each hand that will look like an armored bracer with a curved blades which ones opposite to each other? It can be used like a weapon and a climbing tool tho.

Sounds interesting, but I guess that I like the idea more that my character has something in his hands and not just an armor accessory. Nice suggestion though! I will keep that in mind anyway.

 

I like a cane which look similar to this one (upper right corner, from this asset):


But I found this one and it really looks like the cane from sly ^^

But I hate the pharao thing

 

Judging from your 2 poll choices......
Since you're trying to decide, if it should be a one handed cane
or a two handed long staff.

Cane = 1 handed tool/weapon
Staff = 2 handed tool/weapon

Why not make the cane, with the ability to easily extend to a staff length
and easily shrink back to cane length, whenever you need it.

When it's short, it can be used as a one handed tool/weapon.
And, whenever you feel to, the handle can extend to staffs length
turning it, into a two handed weapon staff/staff tool.

Just an idea I had, while working right now, on a staff wielding character for a game I'm working on, while reading your post.

 

That would be cool, I will keep that in mind, thanks!
It would make the combat even more interesting.

 

Yep. I agree. Glad you liked the idea.
And I agree, the Pharaoh design thing sucks and is not my thing either. Lol.

 

Haha
It would be cool when you could tell me if you find anything (a model, ...) that could be interesting for me, if you want
