Inspired by an over-sized staff in the private collection of our company President Lynn C. Thompson, our newest member of the Blackthorn family is the biggest stick we've ever made! The new Blackthorn Staff (almost 5 ft. long) represents the culmination of years of costly research and development in the world of injection molding and high-impact polymer production. This king-sized hiking staff, with its rustic wood-effect texturing, "clipped thorn" nodules and polished faux-wood knob is sure to be an unusual and much talked about part of any collection.
