Staghorn Wading Stick

The thumbstick has been constructed from a natural wood (the type of hardwood may vary depending on availability). This hardwood provides a robust and reliable wading stick, while also providing a natural rustic appearance. With a height of 55" (139cm), it will be suitable for most individuals.

The wooden construction and appearance will blend in well when you're out and about. Whether spending the day by the river or adding in a trek through the woods, the wading stick will make a visually appealing and highly practical companion.

Weighted Ferrule

The Staghorn Wading Stick features a weighted ferrule at the base of the wood. This ferrule helps to provide stability when in the deep and moving river water, providing the individual with a little extra support to maintain balance.

Lanyard Strap

A lanyard wrist strap is included with the wading stick. This can be slipped over the user's wrist to help with gripping onto the stick. It will also be useful for keeping the stick by the wrist without needing to place it on the ground when both hands are required; this eliminates the need to place the stick in the water, thus reducing the risk of it drifting away.

Naturally Shed Staghorn

The staghorn provides a unique handle for the thumbstick, and no animals were harmed in the collection of the horn. Deer shed their horn naturally each year, and they are then collected for the thumbstick.

Each horn is grounded, sanded, and polished, before being fitted to the natural wooden shaft. This creates a stylish and interesting top for the stick.

Rustic Appearance

Produced using the natural coppicing method, this unique Country Walking Stick features a wonderfully rough shaft and a polished handle. To maintain and enhance the rustic, perfectly natural appearance of this stick, there are no collars or other embellishments added to the handle or the shaft.

Stout and Durable

Much thicker and heavier than your average Hazel Coppice Knobstick, this stick is designed for the larger user. Due to the natural manufacturing process, the shaft and the handle are made from one piece of wood, which greatly reduces the chances of the stick breaking, while the comfortable knob handle is suitable even for larger hands.

The Knobstick

A traditional British walking stick, the knobstick is made from coppiced wood, usually ash, hazel or blackthorn. The original tree is cutback, and the resultant shoots form the raw material for walking sticks.

The ‘knob’ handle is formed from the parent tree, so that the walking stick is in effect grown upside down. A good knobstick fits comfortably into the palm of the hand.

Please note that due to the natural sourcing and manufacturing process the length of this walking stick may vary slightly from product to product.

Can I Replace the Ferrule?

Yes, if your ferrule becomes worn, you can remove the fitted ferrule and replace it with a new one. As this is a natural product, we recommend measuring the end of your stick to determine which size is right for your stick.
