Phoenix's Top Sticks

With such a great range of sticks to choose from, it's hard to whittle down a list of Phoenix's top sticks. However, we've taken the plunge and plumped for our best five sticks from Phoenix below.

The Ebony Derby Cane is the epitome of elegance. Dense, durable and with a unique dark colouration, there's simply no substitute for ebony as a luxury walking stick material. This stick provides excellent support and is a wonderful fashion accessory for a range of occasions.

Key Features: Highly elegant, ideal for special occasions and events

The Applewood Knobstick Walking Stick is a truly rustic stick which is just as sturdy and reliable as it looks! A fantastic alternative when blackthorn sticks aren't available, this stick is available with a choice of a metal or rubber ferrule, so it can be adapted to any environment.

If you're looking for a party cane which is also a great example of craftsmanship, look no further than the Scorched Beech Derby Cane. Its sturdy beechwood shaft is scorched for a decorative finish which really brings out the grain.

A range of hiking staves are available from Phoenix, but the Chestnut Bark Hiking Staff with Compass is perhaps the most unique. A fully-functional compass is inset into its handle, so a navigation aid can be at hand at all times on those longer hikes.
