The iconic walking stick has a much deserved place in history. After all, every culture has its own classic interpretation of the quintessential walking stick. A good stout stick was an everyday accessory and tool. From the city gent to the hard-working farmer, every man had a stick!
These awesome tools were once incredibly commonplace, but sadly, carrying a stick fell from popular fashion. Cold Steel® has long championed a revival of this practice and has worked hard to try and encourage people to bring back this once-great tradition! The walking stick is so much more than just an aid to stability for the injured, ill or infirm. As any hiker or outdoorsman will tell you, it is also an excellent tool for traversing rough, slippery, uneven and treacherous terrain, a useful pointer or probe - and in dire straits it makes a capable self-defense option.
Cold Steel® has earned great acclaim for its walking sticks. These innovative and highly durable modern polymer products have been a huge success and Cold Steel® is proud to see a resurgence in the amount of people carrying and using sticks every day.
The Walkabout was a much-loved classic from Cold Steel®'s earlier line up, a fan favorite that just begged to be re-released. The latest incarnation of this popular design is made from tough, durable and highly impact resistant polypropylene. Unlike wood,this polymer is extremely weather resistant and withstands inclement conditions that would cause a conventional stick to crack, warp or rot. Its handsome wood grain texture provides an excellent grip without sacrificing comfort or ease of use, and its simple one-piece polypropylene construction makes it deceptively tough while still remaining light enough to carry and use all day.
Good-looking enough for daily use in the city and tough enough for hiking, camping or outdoor pursuits, the Walkabout is a proud new addition to Cold Steel®'s beloved walking stick series. Get yours today!

Kein Spazierstock aber eine brachiale Keule
Ich habe mir den Stock schon vor längerer Zeit gekauft (und damals auch schon eine Bewertung dagelassen).
Man muss es klar sagen: Seinen Zweck als Spazierstock erfüllt das Ding nicht. Der Stock ist einfach zu massiv und zu klobig dafür. Er sieht nicht wie ein Spazierstock aus und liegt auch nicht in der Hand wie ein Spazierstock. Allerdings hat er die Power um mit einem Schlag die Schädelplatte eines Ochsen zu brechen.
Die Bezeichnung "Polypropylenkeule" würde es besser beschreiben. Spaß habe ich trotzdem damit. Allerdings nicht beim Spazieren, sondern beim Kampfsporttraining.
