Most Helpful Positive Review How Cool is this?!
COOL...I've already had two comments "WHERE did you get that?" ---"Cool, Where, can I get one?"--- Best price in or out of town---! This could be a good weapon if needed..not what I bought it for, i just wanted a "distinctive" cane and this certainly IS. It does"turn heads.
Most Helpful Negative Review Looks like a toy
I was looking for a distinctive walking stick. This is an overly fat and heavy stick. The round ball cap on top does not seamlessly join with the rest of the stick, but instead is glued on like a cap. The stick itsef is all black and shows no color variations you would find on real wood. From a dist...

Just what I was looking for

by Dan, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on May 8, 2024
This stick is really nice, well made, and sturdy. Some say it's too large and heavy, but it works great for me. I added a small rubber foot to the bottom, but other than that, this stick is well worth the price. it helps me travel, due to some slight mobility issues, plus I can safely say it would come in handy as a defensive stick, if needed... I highly recommend it!!!

Excellent self defense walking stick.

by Jersey, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on April 20, 2024
Strong and well made. Don't let people fool you saying you need a lightweight stick to spin around like a cheerleader. Grab this blackthorn with both hands and swing it like a bat. Any threat will be stopped.
Pros:
  • Strong
  • Strong & highly dependable
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Self defense

Irish Blackthorn, 37

by Lou, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on April 12, 2024
The walking stick has heft, is solidly built, and I cannot see this product coming apart. Built in a very heavy-duty manner. I'm 6ft. 2" and the 37" height is perfect as a cane or walking stick (not a staff).

I would recommend this if you need walking support that can double as a protective or defensive EDC item, in the event you come across a threat during your travels.

As always, Cold Steel builds a great product out of Taiwan.
Pros:
  • build quaity
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • defense
  • EDC
  • Walking & Hiking
Would recommend: Yes

Fake blackthorn walking stick

by Jack Parker ORoark, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on December 24, 2023
This thing is junk. It’s some kind of plastic and it looks just as fake as it feels. Also the weight distribution is way off and it’s way too heavy for a walking stick. It’s fine to lean in a corner of the room for aesthetics but if you actually need a cane or walking stick, this ain’t it. I regret buying this.

Perfect stick

Nor a Walking Stick; it's a club

by Douglas Gilmore, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on August 6, 2023
Good on Ya if you can get this oversized club through a security point be proclaiming it to be a walking stick. The shaft is far too thick. If it weren't so heavy, one could use it as a wrecking bar. If you use it as a cane, you'll soon have an overdeveloped bearing arm. Optics Planet was great and easy to deal with in returning it and with canceling the longer stckÄ·Ä·
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • too heavy
