I have some 20 odd walking sticks and staves. This one has just the right feel in my hand, neither too big or too small. It has a lovely substantial feel to it.
I have a long "birding" staff I made myself for serious hiking and a nice ash cromach I bought for highland games (I like the looks of the thinner cromachs with highland dress but they just aren't sturdy enough for my tastes on the trail). However for just out and about my blackthorn is my go to stick.
