There’s a satisfying weight to this stick the moment you pick it up. The broad, rounded mushroom knob fills the palm, with a smooth curve for your fingers to wrap around. It feels substantial in the hand, whether you’re taking it out for a Sunday stroll or setting off down a country lane.
We shape the handle and tapered shaft from one solid piece of oak. The warm grain of the polished knob stands out against the glossy black shaft, and every handle has a grain pattern of its own. It’s the kind of stick you’ll find yourself reaching for whenever you head out the door.
A shape with Irish roots
Our Mushroom Knob Walking Stick is inspired by the knob-topped walking sticks of the Irish shillelagh tradition. Colonial Williamsburg holds an Irish example dating to around 1830 and records oak as one of the woods traditionally used to make these sticks.
