Where to buy cromach in USA

[Panache]

Sometimes traditional things can be still really useful!

My ash cromach is far and away the best of my hiking staves. It is really light, very strong, and it's diameter is smaller than a lot of other hiking sticks which paired with the crook handle makes it very comfortable to the hand.

The fact that they also look rather nice is just a bonus.

(Wondering about the bright red hose? We do have a fair number of ticks here in the Bay Area so when hiking it is best to have very light or bright socks that will make it easy to spy them if they try to hitch a ride on your leg!)

That's a nice stick! Mind if I ask where you got it?

OP, I have a shepard's crook from tractor supply. They come quite tall (6' i believe) and I've cut it to the height I like. It was only $20.

It's nowhere near as handsome as Panache's and doesn't taper to the end so it's not as elegant. I'm sure someone could either sand or lathe one to a nice taper though.

Ironically I've used it for hiking in shorts but never in my kilt. I'll probably use it at the vista highland games in June though.

I want to thank all of you. A good friend of mine is acquiring one custom made in Scotland and will be bringing it over when he comes to visit me in September. We are having it made in two sections with a nice threaded connector. Will post photos when it gets here.

Sounds like a first-rate bit of kit. I'll look forward to seeing the posts!

My lovely F-H.C.A.G.* bought it for me in San Francisco at William Glen and Son years ago. I believe they still stock them.
