Brazos Free Form Knob Root Cane Walking Stick, Handcrafted in the USA, 37 Inches by Brazos Walking Sticks

Great for limps

I got this for a couple of reasons and it covers all the bases. I don't need a cane all the time, but every now and then my sciatica flares up and I need something to help me get around. This is a very sturdy walking stick and fits the hand comfortably. I'm about six feet tall and I didn't have to trim anything for it to be the right length. The other reason is that my wife and I like to go to concerts, plays, and comedy shows in some pretty rough cities. Most venues don't allow concealed carry and with a disabled wife I like to have something to give me an edge if the need for self defense arises. It's stout enough and the knob on top gives me weight in the right place. I feel pretty well prepared for the walks through places that I would rather not be unarmed in. I recommend this cane for either or both uses.

Okay even though this particular came I received and not have the nice big ball on the top it does have a significant hand grip where the root is supposed to be. It is precisely the right length that I need, has some nice gnarl from the branch trim on it I do kind of wish they would leave a little bit of the branch trimming on there, maybe a 1/8 in or up to a quarter inch just to give it a little character and texture along the shaft. But all in all I cannot complain. It is 100% natural, nice and light, feel sturdy. I'm 6 ft 220 and I have leaned on this just to see how much it would bend and it hardly bends at all. Definitely a very good purchase. Especially when you consider that these are not reproductions but 100% natural so each one is going to be individual unto itself and yes completely different Comma plus the perfectly imperfect Perfection On the shaft. As far as length it is actually 37.25 in length and I think part of that .25 in is going to be from the rubber pad on the bottom. With proper use this walking Aid will help definitely with some balance and with a little practice self-defense if ever needed. The only thing I might do since this is definitely a keeper, is sand off the remaining bark or at least rough it up really good and repaint the shaft a high gloss black or possibly even go mahogany stain in color.

Attractive and sturdy. A bit lighter than expected but otherwise excellent

Its ok, the one i received doesnt look like the picture. I like the one with the metal handle better
