Asterom Handmade Walking Stick for Men - Solid Hardwood Carved Cane with Unique Paracord Skull Strap (Nutcracker)

Love this beautiful, solid oak walking stick. The ball-like "handle" might not be very comfortable for long walks since it does not conform to the contour of the hand. But it suits my needs very well: short walks needing little support. I use it for balance.

Very nice cane. Going from the drug store version to this is life changing. Extremely sturdy and comfortable to use. Beautiful to look at as well. And in the event you have to defend yourself you have a little league baseball bat in your hands. Buy it

Works great. I really like the wrist strap and the small skull cinch pin. Even TSA agents asked if it was custom made. It’s light weight and strong.

Let me add my voice to the chorus of enthusiastically positive reviews of this cane. This is my first review of any product after 15+ years on Amazon, if that tells you anything.First, it arrived 4 days ahead of time, safely packaged. The quality of the workmanship was immediately obvious right out of the box and bubble wrap. The hardwood is a rich, handsome dark brown, perfectly sanded and sealed. The dimensions are exactly as advertised, and at ~20 oz it is surprisingly light for its durability. It came with a small brochure and an extra rubber foot and the wrist strap is easily detachable and reattached.I occasionally need a cane when an old injury flares up, was getting tired of the cheap junk you see at the pharmacy, and stumbled on Asterom while reading about the war. That they can make such a fine product at an affordable price, and all during wartime, is a remarkable achievement.Bottom line: If you are at all on the fence about buying one, just buy one. You'll get a well-made, essential walking aid if you need it. If you don't need it, you'll get an elegant accessory that wouldn't look out of place in a ballroom.

Fantastic walking stick. I was looking for a solid wood walking stick/cane where the handle cannot break off. This is a beautifully crafted piece. It not only provides me with support for my arthritic hips, it is also an excellent self defense tool. A blow from this cane will be remembered! F around and find out, lol. I also love the fact that I am able to get what I want and need while doing a tiny part to help support Ukraine in their valiant fight for freedom and independence. I only wish our current government could remember that this is what we used to stand for and hold dear. At least I have a stout piece of oak to defend myself when the idiots come for me.

I waited to review this until after I had used it some to give a better review based in experience.I am a disabled young adult who has struggled with the idea of using a cane because of vanity and pride. But this cane is not an old lady's cane. It is a beautiful work of art, very stylish, and suitable for young and old alike. I have received many compliments about it and have recommended Asterom Handmade to many people.Aside from the beauty of this walking stick it is perfectly functionally, too. It is very sturdy. I weigh a little over 400 lbs and it supports me with ease. It is solid wood. Hollow, metal canes will bounce if dropped gently onto the base. This cane does not bounce. It is solid.It came in three pieces which were incredibly easy to assemble. The top piece with the handle screwed easily into the bottom piece and a beautiful silver ring, which I think is more for decoration, sits between these two pieces. I have issues with my wrists that make some tasks difficult for me, but I assembled my cane with ease and no tools were required. It also came with two rubber pieces that fit on the bottom of the cane, which I also assembled easily.As if all of this wasn't great enough, I was pleasantly surprised when someone from Asterom Handmade reached out to me checking if the cane was working well for me.These are people who care. They put their hearts into creating quality and will take the extra step of ensuring their customers are happy.I will continue recommending Asterom Handmade to anyone in need and I will come back to them if I ever need another high quality walking stick.

The good:Sturdy. Quality workmanship. Nice looking with no flaws, chips or knots.The bad:I would thin it down a little. It is very thick near the top and the bulb is a bit to big to hold onto comfortably. Can look and feel more like a table leg than a cane.Recommend if you have very large hands. Otherwise, you might want to look elsewhere.

This was better than I was hoping for... amazing quality and looks great! The hand string has saved me more than once in the short time I've been using it... Thanks Again keep up the great work!
