Walking sticks
have been an integral part of British town and country style for
centuries. Smart hardwood and formal silver-topped canes have long
been a favourite accessory of an urbane gentleman, while traditional
crooks, thumb sticks and hiking staffs in ash, blackthorn, applewood
and hazel are always popular with the British in the country.
Today, walking sticks are available in many
woods, colours and patterns, and are intended for many different
functions. Many users and buyers of walking sticks are looking for
interesting, fashionable sticks that are a far cry from the plain
crooks supplied by hospitals. The fashion among ladies' walking sticks
is now for brightly coloured sticks, often with floral or other patterns
on their shafts.
