A walking stick for the ages
I placed my order a few weeks before having surgery. It was shipped very quickly from the Ukraine and was waiting when I returned from the hospital.<br /><br />This stick is the real deal. It is solid but weighs less than you might think. I requested the maximum length (39 inches). The ball fits my hand well and allows the stick to move easily. The strap has a very cool skull on it, and my daughter found out that the bearded jaw of the skull opens and closes. "There is something very metal about that skull, dad!"<br /><br />I cannot recommend this walking stick enough, but if you really want to get this stick and feel well equipped and prepared for life in the city, I recommend you also buy "Fighting Irish: The Art of Irish Stick Fighting" (https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1986974073?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details). This stick is fully capable of serving the same role as a shillelagh.
