Cane Sword

I don't know of one specifically, but a Wen Jen on page 35 of Mystic China could be concealed inside a cane relatively easily.

In Century Station, one of the heroes carries a cane sword, so the stats are in that book.

You should seek out a chinese speaker to find out.

Dudes! Thathurla is not asking for stats. Check the original post.

The answer is, there isn't one.

True. The cane sword was an 18th Century European invention. The Chinese just never had the need to disguise a sword in this way. If they did, it just never caught on as a fashion statement and no example has ever been found in the histories, tales, tombs, or archeological sites.

There is, however, no reason you couldn't take a Chinese Jian and conceal it in a Bang (short staff). You would need to modify the handle of the sword so that it conformed to the staff, but it could be done.

Even cooler to see would be a blind monk with a chain whip or the like (not the issue though).

I thought that was a product of the late ninja and chinese people who uses canes in hiding their relic blades and swords.

The Shikomi-Zue is the ninja weapon and that is actually a staff with a concealed blade not a cane sword.

The Chinese had no variant of the Shikomi-Zue either. And my earlier historical statements hold true for this weapon as well.
