Cold Steel Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick $59.99 The Blackthorn bush is found throughout Ireland and the British Isles. It has been prized for centuries as a material for premium walking sticks. The original Blackthorn sticks were 2 to 4 foot long Irish shillelaghs (the national weapon of rural Ireland). In expert hands the shillelagh was so fearsome that during the final occupation of Ireland, the English outlawed it. To get around the law, the Irish turned the shillelagh into a 3-foot walking stick. The English didn t want to appear unreasonable by outlawing walking sticks too, so the Irish kept their modified shillelaghs and the world gained a beautiful and functional walking stick known simply as the Blackthorn. Cold Steel made the effort to obtain and sell authentic Blackthorn sticks over fifteen years ago, but the venture turned out to be disappointing, and not because the sticks didn t sell well. It was because Blackthorn is difficult to come by and, since it s grown and not manufactured, it is somewhat inconsistent in quality. Cold Steel s recent forays into injected molded polypropylene products has yielded some impressive results and now we have produced a new polypropylene Blackthorn that has all of the advantages of real Blackthorn and none of its pitfalls. Our Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick is inspired by an authentic Blackthorn from Cold Steel President, Lynn C. Thompson s private collection. It was copied carefully, and then artfully modified to a point where it not only mimics nature, but actually rivals and supersedes anything the natural world could produce! If nature had fashioned the most perfect Blackthorn stick, and you were lucky enough to come by it, our Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick is what it would look like. It s a superb faux Blackthorn stick, and since it s injection molded from polypropylene, it will never warp, crack, swell up, or splinter and is easy to maintain with a little soap and water. Specifications: - Weight: 28. 2 oz. - Head: 2 3/4 inch - Material: Polypropylene - Overall: 37 inch - Thick: 1 inch (Base) 1 3/8 inch (Neck) |

The Walking Stick (Paperback) $15.92 In this exquisitely wrought tale, young Van finds a walking stick at the foot of a huge teak tree. Blessed by Buddha, it becomes his talisman, his life long link to the past, and the support he will need to carry him into the uncertain future. For when the winds of change blow, not even the deep forest of Vietnam remains safe. With the walking stick and his indomitable spirit, Van leads his family to safety and new land. Though the years pass in peace, the ever present tap tapping of the brass-tipped walking stick is Van`s constant reminder of the customs, voices, and land he will always remember with love. When the stick`s long odyssey is finally over, it is Van`s granddaughter who carries it home and places it at Buddha`s feet. |
