Gents Blackthorn Derby with a Cherry Handle walking stick.

The wood of blackthorn is heavier and stronger than hazel, however, suitable pieces of blackthorn are hard to come by. The colour of the wood can vary from a bright red-brown to black and the shaft of this stick is reduced and polished, giving a silky-smooth finish with great depth. The cherry wood used for the handle is a premium hardwood prized for its natural luster, attractive grain, and rich warm glow. Finished with a gold gilt collar.

Length 93cm
Weight 320g
Fitted with rubber ferrule

How to measure someone for a walking stick.

Please note that shortened sticks will be fitted with a rubber ferrule and are non - returnable.

To measure someone for a walking stick, ask them to stand with their weight evenly on both feet, looking straight ahead and with their arms relaxed by their sides. You then need to measure from the floor to the prominent bone of the wrist. This is the length of walking stick required. Please note this is just a rule of thumb. If the person has special needs, they may need to be measured by a medical professional. Alternatively they may have personal preferences for a longer or shorter walking stick.

We measure our sticks from the top curve of the handle, where to palm rests to the bottom of the ferrule. We cut the stick 0.5cm shorter than the length required to allow for the depth of rubber in the ferrule.
