Great stick overall the faux wood cap could be better it dents an scratches very easily probably disappointing for somebody looking for a visually nice walking stick other than that great buy

The walking / security stick is great! It’s hefty, feels good in my hand. I don’t worry useing my Caine breaking ,if I had to use it to defend myself. Thanks, Luis Davila

This cane arrived today. The first thing I did was coat the faux wood with poly protective sealant. It took about 20 minutes to dry. Looks very nice and no worries about scratches now. I purchased because I have a spinal injury and need some help getting around often as I experience a lot of pain. The double usefulness of support and a defensive weapon is perfect. Who would know it could literally bust some heads..! Very happy with this, good one BudK.. Thanks!

I recently purchase the Blackthorn Shelagh and was total surprised by the quality and durability of the item. I added a rubber end tip for grip on smooth surfaces. The stick is reliable an I never leave home with out it.

Very nice, very sturdy....Could cause some serious damage if need be.

GREAT AND CLASSY CANE BIG FAN OF "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" AND HOPEFULLY I NEVER HAVE TO USE IT THAT WAY BUT A GREAT CANE. 4/5 CAUSE I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO TEST IT THAT WAY YET

First let me say I ordered to replace A cane thst made me look and feel old. It looks and feels great. It def feels unbreakable, but I like it to much to test it out like the video. Also got for the self deffense aspect as I am disabled from A bad car accident. I will say the faux wood head does scuff very easily. I wish they would have put A sealant on it to protect it, as it looks so nice. Again let me state I just turned 4o and due to injuries I am stuck with A cane THIS WAS DEF A UPGRADE. If I ever have to use it I will post A update. For the price not bad. Ty.

This thing is BA. My wife liked so much that she wanted too. But a new one that had not been tested on everything that I deemed not valuable in my joyful rampage after receiving it. It will scratch, but not break. Get a rubber boot for the bottom and walk with confidence.

i use it as a cane its sturdy & durable but i had to buy a rubber boot for the bottom cause wood floors, wet areas, & concrete are not your friends you will slip without a rubber boot

Have you ever been cornered by a swarm of infected wild hogs at dusk? Well this man has, and let me just say, if it wasn't for the impeccable design of this cane I would have been those swines supper. From the moment i removed it from the box, i could feel the history of generations of presumable irish alcoholics yielding such a divine tool to clout the British on the heads as they encroached their homes. Allow me to explain if ye will, me grandad told me an ole folk legend of a time he got into a fight over whose guiness was colder at a bar. The wild bastard me grandad was bopped the other fellow right in the tally wacker and the man schreetched a repulsive sound and ran back to his cottage where he was never seen again. I now possess my grandads old shillelagh and can feel the same quality in the bud k one. Thanks bud K you strange childlike adults never let me down!
