Authentic Blackthorn Knobstick

Highly coveted for its scarcity, the Authentic Blackthorn Knobstick is a beloved traditional walking stick from the countryside. The distinctive reddish-brown bark of the blackthorn tree adds to its allure, grown from coppiced wood that must be handled carefully due to its thorny nature. Its knobbly, rustic appearance is admired by many, and each stick is finished with a ferrule and stands at approximately 36-37 inches tall. The sought-after blackthorn wood is prized for its color and unique character, and is deeply rooted in Irish folklore, associated with the patron Saint Patrick who once took shelter under a blackthorn bush. Its protective qualities are said to be why the tree flowers before it grows leaves in the spring. Despite high demand, these knob sticks are often back-ordered, a testament to their exclusivity and desirability.

These canes have a rubber tip over a metal tip so you can use it either way.  Rubber or Metal Tip.
