Gent's Country Derby Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick | Wide Handle 36" - Canes Galore
$148.00
Irish Grit, Polished Edge
Every Blackthorn stick tells a different story. The knots, the curves, the scars in the wood — they're not flaws. They're proof that this shaft grew wild on the Irish countryside before it was hand-selected, seasoned, and paired with a wide scorched ash derby handle. The Gent's Country Derby Blackthorn is the walking stick equivalent of a well-worn leather jacket: rugged, refined, and impossible to fake. No two are exactly alike, which means the one you carry is yours alone.
The extra-wide derby handle is built for men who want real grip surface — not a dainty perch. At one inch wide, it spreads comfortably across your palm and lets you walk with authority. The wide brass band where handle meets shaft isn't just decorative — it's the finishing touch that separates a country walking stick from a countryside prop. Imported from Great Britain. Genuine Irish Blackthorn shaft with natural knobs. 36 inches, sized for men up to about 5'10". Free shipping on orders over $50 and hassle-free 30-day returns from a veteran-owned company that believes walking sticks should have as much character as the men who carry them.
