I doubt you will be allowed to bring such a thing into the cabin, unless you can persuade the staff that it is a novel sort of walking stick that you require.
Agree with the above, I brought a metal grille from the US and wrapped in bubble wrap and brown paper and wrote on the package 'Car Parts' It went in the hold without a problem.
