4' Wax Wood Self Defense / Training Staff

I bought this for my son for Christmas. When he opened it, I was greatly disappointed. This "staff" looks like a dowel rod that was somewhat sanded down. The circumference varies greatly from one end to the other. It is bent and crooked. It is also vety rought where it was not sanded. My son even brought up how bad the craftsmanship "built bad" is on theis staff.

I bought a 4 pack of the 4 foot staff and some how they doubled my order and double charged me, thought I would have to go to the trouble of sending one order back but after seeing the quality of the product I have decided to keep them will give them to friends that need a good walking stick/staff for self defense. in same order I had ordered two 6 foot staffs, and now have 4 of them also. but I might be too stingy to give any of them away. I am very impressed BUDK as always.by the way have been a customer for many years and never have had a complaint worth worrying about. again great job!!!

I love my stick! Perfect fit for me!

this is a good place to buy stuff

The staff is for my wife, she loves it, she though, it was a but ruff to handle, so she got our son to lightly sand it down, the staff is great

love the staff 4 ft was great thanks

When i ordered this bo staff i was exited but when I opened the package it was so bent looked like i could turn it into a bow and arrow more than a bo staff . And it was also really dirty! it had so many stains and they wont come off not as happy as i useally am.

Staff arrived and is bent, beginning around 16" from end at a 15° angle. Not worth it to return it. Normally very happy with Budk's products!

It is made of good quality seems like. It came in quick too jst under 5 working days. Nice feel. Seems solid. But came a little under 4 ft. 3 ft 11 in. So if your looking for something of a certain height 4ft with a little more id suggest get the 6ft staff and cut it to your liking.

The quality of this item is fantastic. My family finds it useful as a walking stick (arthritic knees dont'cha know)or for countless other uses indoors and out. The price is very fair. The 4' length makes the better walking stick unless you are a really large person. Whatever your needs in a staff, walking or hiking pole or for training in martial arts, this Wax Wood staff deserves your careful consideration. It DOES the job!

Had to treat it with wood polish, it was really dry but it has great balance and is solid.

When I got it I was very happy it came in just a few short days. I opened it was a little worried that one side was a little bigger then other but a little sanding can take care of that lol. But I would recommended.

Great staff is all I can say! I've heard that waxwood is good but wow!

My wife is a falconer and always had trouble with breaking her hawking sticks. I bought 2 staffs in 2008 and they've held up extremely well. We've used them for whacking brush, probing rabbit holes, and prying on logs with no breaks or signs of stress. Well worth the money.

By adding this staff to a Cold Steel War Hammer and cutting it to length, I made a fierce walking stick.

I had a few issues with this staff. First it was a lot heavier than I expected, not really a bad thing. Also one end of the staff is clearly wider than the other. Also the staff was slightly bent. They were not big problems, and might just be the design of the staff because the pic shows similar attributes.

I mistakenly bought a staff from a competitor and the first time I demonstrated a striking technique for a class I was teaching, it shattered. This Bud-K 4 foot staff is the real thing. I first ordered 3 and they arrived straight and true. We do full contact sparring and they have held up beautifully. Please note that these are not "Twirling" sticks. If all you want to do is show a form, at 1 3/16" this is a heavy duty fighting staff. These are perfect for my application and I am well pleased!

well its a staff nuuff said

The wood from which this staff is made is actually quite a good wood. I was surprised at how sturdy it is. I gave it to a friend as a birthday present, and I'm glad to see that it was worth the time and money.

does not send a shock to your hands and high quality too. ive looked up other sites and some had the same items but true swords had the lower price. this is by far the most reliable site for weapons on the net!

Very solid, it hits and takes hits well and doesn't send a shock to your hands either.

One word to sum this this one up; Awesome!
