Hell, I even got the one with the flames. I like the classic hook because I can hang it on my arm if I'm not using it to lean on or walk. I'll leave it at home when I can, but when my leg is hurting or is weak, I carry it around with regularity. I'll hang it on a table if I'm at a restaurant or seated at a desk. It's actually quite useful in holding doors open, pressing elevator buttons, smacking small children...
