The shillelagh is a traditional Irish walking stick made from blackthorn. In the structure of the stick, you can often see knots. This strong stick is a sturdy tool for traveling through the rugged hills and valleys of Ireland. The walking stick has become a symbol for Ireland. The polypropylene models from Cold Steel and United Cutlery are a modern version of the shillelagh. Unlike wood, the material never breaks, never needs maintenance, and yet shows the typical knots of the blackthorn in the surface.
A walking stick of wood is a beautiful object for home decoration and for everyday use. For a medieval or fantasy festival, the wood carving walking stick is a special accessory. A walking stick with Fenrir wolf, Midgard serpent, ram's head, or dragon's head is a valuable addition to your Viking interior.
