Blackthorn walking sticks are among the most sought after of all traditional walking sticks, both for their appearance and for their heritage. The blackthorn, or Prunus spinosa, is a shrubby bush with vicious thorns and a suckering habit, so that it forms dense hedges through which livestock cannot escape. Indeed, the impenetrable forest in the fairytale Sleeping Beauty is said to have been a blackthorn thicket. It grows particularly well in Ireland and England, where blackthorn sticks cut from hedges have been popular for many centuries. The bark of the blackthorn walking stick can be from reddish-brown through to almost black. The spines are cut back and sanded to produce a distinctive stick. A particular characteristic of blackthorn is that the arrangement of the thorns forms a spiral shape around the shaft of the stick. On the very best blackthorn sticks, it is possible to see that the thorns are arranged in little groups of three. Blackthorn Knobstick--- The stick has been grown upside down, usually in a hedgerow or on a coppiced blackthorn shrub, so that the handle is formed from part of the original shrub. There is a great art in shaping the handle so that it is comfortable to the hand. The handle and shaft are varnished and a copper ring fitted to the bottom.  Choose your length from 32 inches to 37 inches and you will receive your very special Walking Stick. Remember, each Irish Blackthorn is one-of-a-kind, and there will be variances from Cane to Cane.
