The Shillelagh, formally known as the Bata to the Irish. When this idea originated in the mid 1700's it was used for many reasons; like hunting, protection, and the eventual use of walking or hiking. This is made from the Blackthorn bush or tree, also known as the European spiny plum. It is in its natural knobbed state and has a leather strap that has been attached through the Blackthorn wood for your convenience. Each one is unique. This stick is available from 18"-22". This is not a cane.

This Shillelagh travel club is great for protection as it can easily be concealed inside a coat or jacket. The fighting stick's handle is round, showing off the natural blackthorn wood that has been handmade with care. There are no two shillelagh walking sticks that are alike.
