Hi,

I used to use  folding canes, but when NFB came out with there telescopic 
fiberglass and graphite telescopic canes, I switched to them and really 
enjoy them.  The telescopic canes are more rigid and transmit vibrations 
better and are much lighter than a folding cane.
You can't use a telescopic cane as a support cane, but I really like them 
because they slip easily in to my pocket and are so light.  I see no 
advantage in the graphite cane over the fiberglass cane, so I buy the 
fiberglass canes because of their lower cost.
