Product information "Dragon Walking Stick"

The mythical dragon has captured the imagination of man for centuries. Asian folklore casts them as benign creatures, man's allies in a hostile world, or as symbols of imperial Chinese power, used as motifs on palace walls, and on soldier's breastplates. In the west, they were known to be fierce adversaries, fire breathing, clever beasts who rained destruction and levelled villages. The brave knight who slew one could return to his village after winning the hand of the fetching fair maiden he saved from the dragon's wrath.

Legends aside, a dragon is a powerful creature possessed of extraordinary physical attributes, which command respect across the board. It is for this reason Cold Steel have chosen to use the dragon as the inspiration for their latest walking stick. It is modelled after an intricately carved Dragon Stick from their President, Lynn C. Thompson's collection and is reproduced using expensive, hand engraved injection moulds. The detailing is astonishing, with scales running the full length of the undulating shaft, and a fearsome face with snarling fangs, it is an imposing stick you'll be proud to be seen with on almost any occasion.

It is fashioned, like many of their other walking sticks, from the highest grade of high impact Polypropylene available, assuring its imperviousness to the elements and guaranteeing it is virtually indestructible. Black in colour and sinuous in shape and form, it offers light to medium support and a number of grip options making it unusually suitable as an aid to balance as well as a powerful ally in an emergency self-defence situation.

Stock heute erhalten. Wie alle Artikel aus diesem Material ist das auch hier eine perfekte Verarbeitung. Der Drachenkopf ist sehr detailgetreu gearbeitet, ohne Macken und Grate - sieht perfekt aus. Bei einem kleinen Testspaziergang mit dem Sock ist das etwas höhere Gewicht auffallend und etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Ich denke aber, mit der Zeit merkt man dies nicht mehr. Der Meinung von Daniel, dass der Stock zu lang ist für kleinere Personen , kann ich mich nicht so ganz anschließen. Bei einer Körpergröße von 170cm (und kleinen Händen) finde ich die Länge als Spazier-/Wanderstock perfekt. Als Gehilfe will und kann ich dies nicht beurteilen. Zusammengefasst sehe ich den Stock als guten Wanderstock und eine wunderbare Hilfe für eine Notsituation, in der es darauf ankommt sicht entsprechend mit erlaubten Mitteln zu wehren. Einen Kauf (natürlich auch für Sammler) kann ich empfehlen.

Der Stock ist schön gearbeitet und detailreich Der Kopf ist gut greifbar und der gesamte Stock sieht mit seiner Schuppenmaserung sehr edel aus Einziges kleines Manko ist die Größe Er ist länger als ein normaler durchschnittlicher Gehstock und dadurch nur für etwas größere Menschen als Gehhilfe bzw. Wanderstock brauchbar Als Zierde macht er aber in jeden Fall einen guten Eindruck und ist als solche auch wirklich empfehlenswert

Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick

The Blackthorn bush is found throughout Ireland and the British Isles. It has been prized for centuries as a material for premium walking sticks. The original Blackthorn sticks were 2 to 4 foot long Irish shillelaghs (the national weapon of rural Ireland). In expert hands the shillelagh was so fearsome that during the final occupation of Ireland, the English outlawed it. To get around the law, the Irish turned the shillelagh into a 3-foot walking stick. Cold Steel now has produced a new polypropylene Blackthorn that has all of the advantages of real Blackthorn and none of its pitfalls. Our Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick is inspired by an authentic Blackthorn from a private collection. It´s a superb faux Blackthorn stick, and since it´s injection moulded from polypropylene, it will never warp, crack, swell up, or splinter and is easy to maintain with a little soap and water. Details: Head length: 2 3/4" Total length: 37" Thickness Base: 1" Thickness Neck: 1 3/8" Weight: 28.2 oz. Material: Polypropylene

Axe Head Cane

The Cold Steel Walking Axe Cane is a direct response to our beloved fans, friends and customers. For years now we have been asked to bring out our very own crook-top walking stick. Well, we listened – and we haven’t been idle! The Walking Axe Cane represents the culmination of years of design and development. Combining our own study of the combative use of crook-topped canes in the world of Martial Arts with inspiration from historical hatchet-headed walking sticks, we created a new axe-headed cane that remains perfectly innocuous for everyday use, but can be deployed in a myriad of different ways in a last ditch self-defense situation. Made from high-impact polypropylene, the Walking Axe Cane will withstand even the harshest weather conditions and will never crack, warp or rot like a conventional wooden stick.

Walkabout Walking Stick

The iconic walking stick has a much deserved place in history. After all, every culture has their own classic interpretation of the quintessential walking stick. A good stout stick was an everyday accessory and tool. From the city gent to the hard-working farmer, every man had a stick! These awesome tools were once incredibly commonplace, but sadly carrying a stick fell from popular fashion. We’ve long championed a revival of this practice and we’ve worked hard to try and encourage people to bring back this once-great tradition! The walking stick is so much more than just an aid to stability for the injured, ill or infirm. As any hiker or outdoorsman will tell you, it’s also an excellent tool for traversing rough, slippery, uneven and treacherous terrain, a useful pointer or probe – and in dire straits it makes a capable self-defense option! Cold Steel has earned great acclaim for our Walking Sticks. Our innovative and highly durable modern polymer products have been a huge success, and we’re proud to see a resurgence in the amount of people carrying and using sticks every day. The Walkabout was a much loved classic from our earlier line up. A fan favorite that just begged to be re-released. The latest incarnation of this popular design is made from tough, durable and highly impact resistant polypropylene. Unlike wood, our polymer is extremely weather resistant, and withstands inclement conditions that would cause a conventional sticks to crack, warp or rot. Its handsome wood grain texture provides an excellent grip without sacrificing comfort or ease of use, and it’s simple one-piece polypropylene construction makes it deceptively tough while still remaining light enough to carry and use all day! Good looking enough for daily use in the city, and tough enough for hiking, camping and outdoor pursuits, the Walkabout is a proud new addition to our beloved walking stick series. Get your today! Specifications: Weight: 26.1 oz. Overall: 38 1/2" Head: 2 1/3" Shaft: 1 1/2" to 1"

African Walking Stick

The Zulus are perhaps the fiercest, most combative tribe in all South Africa. In the early 1800´s the Zulu King, Shaka, subjugated the vast area of land between the Phongolo and Mzimkhulu rivers and laid the foundations for the Zulu Nation. Then in 1879 the Zulus handed the British one of the most humiliating defeats in history at the battle of Isandlwana, when they annihilated an entire column of 1200 Englishmen (who were supported by artillery and cavalry), and did it with little more than cowhide shields and their Assegais, or short stabbing spears. Even to this day, a Zulu tribesman is nobody to be trifled with. The thing that distinguishes the Zulu people most is their fondness for using a Knob Kerrie, or walking stick. Our President, Lynn C. Thompson, who regularly hunts in South Africa, has amassed an impressive collection of these handmade sticks. Most of them are made from indigenous African hardwoods like Wild Olive, Pink Ivory, and Red Bush Willow, and are topped with a distinctive ball or knob. Adapted for the western marketplace, the Cold Steel African Walking Stick features some of the best parts of traditional Zulu Kerries like an undulating shaft, and the traditional geodesic ball grip. However, instead of using a costly exotic hardwood, we´ve made ours out of black Polypropylene. This means that, in addition to being unbreakable, it´s also impervious to the elements. It will never rot, warp, crack, splinter, swell, shrink, mildew or fade, and it´s ready for all the wear and tear you, and the world, can dish out. Although its primary mission is to be a walking stick to aid one´s balance when crossing uneven, slippery, wet or rough terrain, it can also serve as a pointer, lever, or probe. It also makes a formidable tool for self-defense in an emergency. Specifications: Length: 37" Weight: 25.3 oz. Head: 2 3/4" Diam.: 1 1/4" (base) 1 3/4" (neck) Material: Solid Polypropylene
