This Irish blackthorn root knob walking stick is one of kind! Each blackthorn walking stick is unique and complete with a natural root knob ball that has been polished smooth to serve as a handle. A bumpy bark shaft complete with the knots where the actual thorns have been removed is sure to catch the eye. This is a natural product and will have natural inclusions and qualities. Located right before the knob handle at the very top, you will see a genuine leather cane strap that is built in the walking stick as an additional safety feature.
