UPDATE: After 5 years of daily use under the weight of a 250lbs man, the walking stick is still going strong. After the first year or two, I saw some stress cracks at the base, but they've maintained their size (as I, unfortunately, have as well). I am thinking of buying another one for the inevitable day this one no longer works...but that day is not today. This stick has traveled the world--from the night markets of Taipei, to the canyon trails of Zion and National Capitol Reef. It has seen a lot of use and a lot of abuse. It still looks great and supports my weight. It has FAR exceeded my expectations. I hope these come back in stock soon!I'm 41 and too young to need a cane (though my knees, hips, and back say otherwise...). However, this "walking stick" looks more fashion accouterments than geriatric device. It looks great--at home on the trail as much as helping me from the car into work. I needed to trim it down to get a proper height (top should just hit your wrist bone), but 10 minutes with a chop saw, dremmel, and wood sealant and it's juuuuust right. Gets all sorts of compliments too. Each one is unique and all natural. If you are in the market for a walking stick or a "walking stick," you won't do any better.
