Walking Sticks

[Ebbtide]

Very nice.
I especially like the piece with the scroll work type head

I've got a hickory pole to which I've attached a bayonet lug from Cheaper Than Dirt. It's a prototype...a lot of bugs to work out; but the idea is that you can use your walking stick as a polearm. I've got both the new Marine bayonet and the new bayonet (I think it's Camillus) that was originally designed for the XM-8 rifle...I think those are both nice knives in their own right. My biggest concern is strength of the stick at the point where the lug is attached...since it's designed for an AR barrel, it's not a large diameter; so I screwed it into the wood rather than wrapped it around (didn't want to remove a lot of wood). Right now, I'm debating whether or not to reinforce the wood with a metal strap of some kind...probably not a bad idea. I'm just using wrapped copper pipe for the end; bayonet ring fits right around it.

Sounds cool but oh no its an "assault stick."

 

[CUTS LIKE A KRIS]

Cuts like a kris,did you have any trouble getting your staff through customs and where'd you get it from?

I got it straight from Pat and Wes Crawford and there was no problem getting it across the border. The red was only a limited run (I got one of the last 3) but they have been making the standard black ones for a long time.
