The guard on the handle reminds me of a locking control lever. They were common back in the days of steam. You squeeze the handle and the guard tougher to release the lock and move the lever. I suspect it may be used with the clock that is his office somehow. I also suspect his cane / weapon works in tandem with his semblance somehow, allIwing him to see / experience alternate timeliness and/ or extending his life whilst maintaining youth. Hence the white hair,  the constant clock and wisdom symbolism / references and that his cane weapon is so orinately carved. They don't often do that in modern times.
