This blackthorn Shillelagh is a distinctive, character-filled stick with a naturally twisted shaft that bends slightly in places rather than running straight. This gives it a unique look and feel, making it stand out as something different while still functioning well as a practical stick.
The knob handle offers a comfortable grip, while the shape of the shaft makes it especially suited for hiking use, where its natural form can be an advantage. It’s less suited as a traditional walking aid due to its shape, but ideal as a hiking companion or a conversation piece.
Finished with boiled linseed oil, the stick keeps its natural appearance while being protected and easy to maintain over time.
You’ll receive the exact stick shown in the photo. The stick can be sized to your preferred length — you can leave a note at checkout or get in touch to discuss, but we generally recommend shortening it yourself once you have it in hand so you can choose the perfect height.
