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.
**Canes Depicted in pics are sold as individual pieces and listing and pricing is for each individual cane.
EnglishVice is proud to announce our exquisitely handcrafted Classic and Ultimate Dragon Canes.  We will be offering all our Dragon Canes in 2 grades, Superior and Ultimate with the key differences noted below.
Classic Dragon Canes: They are our bread & butter dragon canes.  Crafted out of the finest Dragon rattan, these canes come as natural finish and wrapped in whip paracord handles.  Our Dragon rattan comes to us as finished & processed rattan (unlike our kooboo canes which come as raw rattan) so the dragon canes have a smooth satin finish and almost blemishless surface in its natural state.  Our Superior Dragon Canes are crafted out of the almost processed and finished Dragon rattan in its natural state.
Ultimate Dragon Canes:  We augment the already finished dragon rattan by soaking in linseed oil and give it a nice glossy sheen with high grade poly gel and wrap them in leather handles (top grain or kangaroo leather).  These will be our creme de la creme dragon canes and the finest rattan punishment cane you could buy and carry a premium over the comparable Superior Dragon Cane. Quite simply put, these are the best rattan punishment canes money can buy.
To distinguish the dragon cane with the same name, look for the 'Classic' or 'Ultimate' grade in our listings
Offered for sale in this listing is 'The Contessa' Dragon Punishment Cane in Classic Grade.
The Contessa Classic Dragon Punishment Cane is crafted out of the finest Dragon Rattan and comes in a length between 90-95 cms (36-38") and 7-8mm thickness.
(stated length and thickness can vary slightly due to the nature of the raw material)
Choice of Handle Colors are BLACK or RED (in whip paracord).  Specify Handle color by sending a note with the order.
Orders with no specific note will be shipped with whatever color we pick for you (Red or Black)
** Shipping Note:
International Customers, this cane would have to be shipped by USPS Priority Mail Int'l due to its length that exceeds USPS First Class Package Int'l services limit. Postage displayed is for delivery by USPS Priority Mail International.  We do combine ship all our canes for lower shipping costs on all additional canes.
***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.   Kooboo rattan is a natural plant material and no two canes are identical in physical dimensions and characteristics.***
What is a Dragon Cane?
Dragon Cane is the queen of rattan canes.  Crafted out of a rare and supreme variety of rattan, this rattan is much more denser and stronger than kooboo and characterized by long node distance compared to kooboo or most other varieties of rattan.  Dragon Canes are known to cane aficionados as the Rolls Royce of rattan canes due to its supreme characteristics that make it excellent material for punishment canes.  Unfortunately Dragon Canes are getting rarer due to export restrictions from Indonesia which is the only place this rattan is grown and collected in the wild by native farmers.  In the future, these canes might disappear altogether given the export bans on this rattan variety.  Punishment Canes crafted out of Dragon Cane rattans are superior to any other canes and quite possibly the best rattan canes money can buy.
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 premium 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 occ
uring blemishes in the rattan.
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.
