Walking sticks and canes collection.

[Chako]

Years ago, I was at an outdoor art show and saw a beautiful walking stick. With that first purchase, I started to look around for others. Over the years, it has grown somewhat. I keep my collection by the front door simply because it is handy if I need to grab one on the go,



This weekend, I have added two new ones, both with an east coast flavour. The middle one carved like a totem pole.



The other is the middle in this photograph. Not as much of a relief carving as the one above, but of the same vibe.



A closer view of the middle layer. I think of this group as  having 3 layers. The top with those two super long 7 footers, the middle layer with the majority of the hiking staves, and the lower layer for canes and such.



A closer look at the lower layer.

I love hiking staffs, I don’t have a collection just a pair, and of course the if needed cane that I had to spiff up,
That one with my somewhat JR carved in the top I spotted in a parking lot, someone just left it, then when I closed I fig I’d grab it but forgot it, then sure enough it was there the next day, and when I left it was still there and it came home, I had to dry it out before I could do any work, but I did, stained it and put about 15 coats on top of it, then added the leather grip,
That other one I bought but then made it into a survival staff, under that paracord handle there’s zip ties, razor, and other stuff, drilled out the top and then glued in a ball compass, and then etched in a ruler from the bottom to 2ft,

Oh and I spotted this but don’t even want to know the price tag!

Thats a nice walking stick.

I have several walking sticks, but my 2 main users are still my cold steel dragons.  I tend to alternate using each one for a week, this week it's my red one.  I keep another dragon walking stick in my locker at work for when I need to go out on plant so I don't ruin my nice ones.

I also have their irish knob stick in my bedroom for when I'm having a particularly bad night so need the extra help for the walk to the loo for the 4am pee

MadPlumbarian...that can is simply worthy.

Hmmm Cold Steel canes...I should look into those. I have a few of their machetes and swords.

My two daily users are still going strong.  The black one is starting to show its age now a bit with its scuffs and scrapes after almost 10 years of usage.
They both got a clean today and some new bungee lanyards and rubber ferrules.
