This Blackthorn Shillelagh is a particularly substantial stick, featuring a heavy, chunky shaft with a powerful traditional appearance. At 102 cm, it has plenty of size and presence, making it an impressive example of a traditional Irish Shillelagh.
The thick Blackthorn shaft gives this stick a character reminiscent of the heavier Shillelaghs historically associated with Irish stick fighting. Its substantial construction, natural shape and rugged appearance give it a very different feel from a lighter everyday walking stick.
The natural character of the Blackthorn remains clearly visible throughout the shaft, creating a distinctive one-of-a-kind piece. This is a great choice for someone looking for a heavier, more substantial Shillelagh with a strong connection to the traditional Irish fighting sticks of earlier generations.
You’ll receive the exact stick shown in the photos. The stick can be sized to your preferred length — you can leave a note at checkout or get in touch to discuss, although we generally recommend shortening it yourself once you have it in hand so you can choose the perfect height.
