It looks to me, judging by the way in which the handle connects to the main body of the cane, that this is a swordstick/cane-sword. I could definitely be wrong, but it seems to fit the data, and it would be completely awesome, so there's as little to suggest I am incorrect as there is to suggest I am correct. This is, of course, partly due to the fact that very few data exist – we've literally only seen him use it as a walking stick, so it's hard to estimate any possibility for it.

The suggestion that it might be a lever holds merit, but if it is a weapon, I would venture to guess it is stylized to appear similar to a lever and not actually one itself.

As for the conversation about the clockwork: If that is Ozpin's symbol, it would be logical to have it on his more important possessions. Just because it has a person's emblem does not mean it is that person's weapon – Schnee products are a prime example – and vice versa. I'd say the fact that he has it with him every day alone is reason enough for him to have his crest on it. While I do think the cane is a weapon, I don't think, however, a picture on the handle is a good indicator of function. Perhaps we'll just have to wait and see.
