Traditional Russian Walking Stick...

[FortyTwoBlades]

Does anyone know what the name of this is and if anyone makes one today? I can't find pictures but it had a small hatchet head for the handle, and a hiking point (spike) on the end. I'm not talking about the Hawkin' Stick, but it's along similar lines (though a bit friendlier in appearance). Apparently they make an appearance in Russian folk tales, as well.

thats right, its either fokosh or fokos. there were several threads here a few months back but i cant find them or figure out how to go farther than page 3 in the thread history so i am inept. if someone else knows how to look that up than all the luck in the world to them. i know someone here has made at least one. good luck in your search
