Eye-Catching Contrast

The dark brown shaft and the light brown handle create an eye-catching contrast that gives this walking stick a special, elegant appeal, making it suitable not only for everyday use, but certain formal events as well. The smart look is completed with a metal collar and a traditionally shaped, beech wood handle.

The Melbourne Derby

Reputedly the invention of an earlier Lord Derby, who wanted a supportive walking stick that he could also hook over his arm, this style provides excellent support and can be held in either hand. The user’s weight is carried directly over the shaft and the hand is perfectly supported, so it can neither slip forward nor back. The Melbourne handle is a variation of the standard one with just a slightly rounder shape.

Beech Wood

Beech is typically a pale cream colour, sometimes with a pink or brown hue. Hard and tough, this type of wood has good strength properties and high abrasion resistance, which makes it the perfect material for making resilient and reliable walking sticks.
