World View Products Website
This is a framed site, and, unfortunately, not particularly friendly
to audio browsers, and use image links without ALT text, so it may
take assistance from a sighted helper, plus a few clicks to reach the
proper page. It also generates at least one pop-up advertisement. From
the homepage, select the Products link, then select the Mini link.
Additional product choices are linked (in the same line) as:
Telescopic, Folding, and 1 and 2 Piece. It seems this site -is- of
Korean origin. There is no online ordering available, just a Product
Inquiry or Contact Us page.

These listings were found on the 6 Friends Orientation and Mobility
page. My cousin found it bookmarked, when I asked him to take a look
at my deceased (blind) uncle's computer system.

I hope these additional sources will lead you to just the "mini" cane
you need.
