Hi Dale, Ambuteck uses aluminum ferrells (spelling) and a nylon ring at the joints. I think they are the best graffite cane out there. the tip is a nylon/teflon on that one and it runs on a bench snader test longer than the standard by about 2.5 times. tony russell at Ambuteck is a great guy and his assistant Donna is a peach. Best of luck and safe travels.
