I'm 74 and though I don't NEED a walking stick/cane, I wanted one. Such a mark of distinction. I've only had mine a few days and everyone is fascinated by it.
It is finished immaculately. Almost a piece of jewelry. Many beautiful coats of lacquer make it really stand out as a superb accouterment to a walk in town or even a stroll in the park.
Very substantial. Hefty and well balanced.
My postal lady brought it to my door and as she was curious I unwrapped it before her. She was stunned with the beauty and craftsmanship.
She has Stage 4 Cancer and said she could sure use one like this. So I secretly ordered another just for her. It's that special. An heirloom legacy for her grandchildren.
Craftsmanship of this order is very very rare!
Blackthorns can be very pricey for what turn out to be pretty anemic walking sticks. Not so in this case. This is a hefty, reliable and well executed stick that offers outstanding value for the money. And, the size, shape and crafting of the piece draw comments and questions anywhere you take it. It's also strong and dependable, which is just what a walking stick should be.
This is a beautiful blackthorn piece; sturdy, good height and weight. It arrived well-protected and, best of all, it arrived a week earlier than promised! This is a piece any good Irishman would want. Thanks for a great addition to my collection!
Declan cut this to my specified length and fitted it with a rubber tip for no extra charge. It is light as a feather and nigh to unbreakable. I strongly recommend it to everyone in need of a reliable and beautiful can that would double as a shillelagh!
I really like this walking stick, it's pure Irish and one of a kind. It's also the best value you can find on the internet. You can tell the maker of this stick has done this many times before and knows how to make it look just right.
Thanks
Far exceeds the beauty of any other shillelagh I’ve looked at, both on line and in person. The quality is far and above all the rest with a top notch ferrule at the tip, not just a small cap like all the rest.
On top of everything else it delivered in half the time promised
FIRST RATE SERVICE IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY
I GET COMPLIMENTS EVERYWHERE I GO AND PEOPLE ASK WERE I GOT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF ART, AND I TELL THEM ABOUT THIS FAMILY IN IRELAND THAT HAS MADE THESE FOR YEARS !!! I AM SO THANKFUL TO HAVE ONE OF MY OWN AND I AM SO PROUD OF IT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!
I bought the stick for my boyfriend and he loves it!! He keeps it near by all the time and is constantly fiddling with it. He talks about how much he loves it and has looked up the history of the shaleighly.
