TERMS OF SALE:
All our canes are strictly sold as collector item/memorabilia under Ebay guidelines.  Any other use beyond the stated purpose of 'collector item/memorabilia', the buyer assumes full responsibility for the result of their actions or manner in which they use the cane.  Our canes DO NOT come with any warranty against breakage or cracking if used in consensual impact play including swishing them.  We are unable to offer a 'breakproof/crackproof' rattan cane until Mother Nature bestows us with such a rattan.  We craft all our canes with carefully picked material but this is an implement that can be short lived in the hands of a novice or unskilled hand.  Please do not send us requests for replacements or refunds if the cane got to you in one piece.  Any use of it beyond that point, you are fully assuming responsibility and risk for what you might do with the product or how you choose to use it.  We do not offer any kind of assurance or warranty on the life of our canes and by buying our product, you fully acknowledge these terms of sale.
** PLEASE NOTE :  If you are unfamiliar with Whangee Canes or a novice to canes, this is an implement that may not be suitable for you.  Whangee Canes have knurly knots and knobbly at the relatively close spaced knots which is very unlike a rattan cane which has a smooth shaft surface.  While we sand these canes and try to keep the knots trimmed, the knobs are knurls are hallmark of a whangee cane which makes it a high intensity and quite severe implement.  Stick to rattan canes if you are unfamiliar with Whangee canes or a novice to canes.  Whangee Canes are best left to experienced users and people who are familiar with this implement and its physical characteristics **
EnglishVice is excited to announce our Whangee Punishment Cane.
Crafted for the experienced and knowledgable Whangee Cane user in mind, our Whangee Canes are crafted out of top quality Asian Whangee bamboo.
Our Whangee Canes go through extensive preparation before handcrafting into a choice implement.  We do our best to sand and smooth out the knots for protrusions and make the implement shaft more benign and conducive.  We finish these canes with atleast 3-4 coats of stain and low VOC high grade polyurethane for a glossy finish.  Finally we finish these canes with a handle wrapped in Paracord (Black) and cover the business tip in a rubberized coating
This Whangee Punishment Cane is 32-35" (80-88 cms) in length and 9-11mm thick.
(actual measurements may vary within the stated range due to nature of the material)
If you are looking for a thicker whangee cane than 9-11mm, please see our other whangee cane listing for 12-14mm Whangee Punishment Cane.
***Please do note that the cane(s) depicted in the pictures is an example and not the exact or identical product you will receive. The pictures depict an example of a similar cane you will receive and the actual product might look different in color and shape owing to the nature of the product.  Rattan is a natural plant material and no two canes are identical in physical dimensions and characteristics.***
About us
At English Vice, we pride ourselves on bringing high quality rattan canes for our connoiseur customers. We primarily focus on one product line and aim to bring a quality product to the discerning customer. Please watch our Ebay listings for new and exciting future product developments.
Why buy our canes?
There are a lot of choices out there if you are shopping for a rattan cane but what distinguishes ours? We know our rattan punishment canes and we take pride in making ours for the discerning customer. We don't just sell you a crooked stick that resembles a rod you picked up in the garden center in a home improvement shop. Our raw material is carefully sourced keeping the quality of rattan in mind. We reject about 40-50% of the raw material in our handcrafting process to carefully pick our lengths for a good cane. And we give all our canes (including our 'seconds') the VIP treatment and all the steps listed in our 'About Canes' section to ensure we deliver a quality rattan cane that can last several years if used right and cared for.
Our rattan canes may not be cheap in price but neither is our quality and we don't sell you just a raw rattan length and call it a cane. Someone familiar with one can tell the difference in quality between our canes and a random length of unfinished rattan sold as a cane.
About our Canes
Unless otherwise specified, all our canes are hand crafted out of natural Indonesian kooboo rattan (with skin) which is golden yellow to yellowish brown in color. Our top grade canes have choice cut lengths of kooboo rattan with minimal blemishes (which is inherent to kooboo rattan as it is a natural product).
We do offer 'seconds grade' canes from time to time with blemishes which are more pronounced and yet very functional and usable. These canes are offered at a lower price point than our top grade canes which offer a significant bargain for a customer who is willing to overlook some naturally occuring blemishes in the rattan.
All our premium grade canes are soaked and treated with raw linseed oil for weeks to saturate the rattan's internal capillaries to add weight and flexibiliity and lock in the absorbed linseed oil. The knots are hand sanded to remove any protruding kinks and the business end is hand sanded and rounded off. They are then varnished with two coats of wood stain to preserve the natural color of the rattan and yet offer a nice protective coat. Finally they are finished with two coats of low gloss polyurethane finish for a smooth and protective coat and still preserve the natural color of kooboo rattan.
Custom/Bespoke orders and requests
If you have a custom/bespoke request for a cane with specific length or diameter or handle type or even extra steps in our finishing process (extra coats of varnish or poly or if you don't want it coated with poly), please enquire by sending us a message and we'll try our best to
accommodate your request if it is within our production parameters.  Extra charges might apply based on your request and please do note that requests for canes over 37 inches or 93 cms length will also incur additional shipping charges.  We ship our canes by USPS Priority Mail tubes which offer the best trackable and fastest shipping method throughout the US and they have a 37 inch (93 cms) maximum length restriction.
