A kanabo is a big wooden stick. A Tetsubo is a big wooden stick with studded iron bands bolted into it.

Never underestimate the damage that can be done by a sonic boom at close range. A screech is a nice distraction and all but it can take awhile to actually start dealing real damage. The sonic blast is kind of like being hit with a brick wall and can potentially instantly rupture blood vessels, plus any damage sustained when you slam into things around you like walls, rocks, trees, etc.
