Gents' Chestnut Crook Congo Walking Stick

The Gents' Chestnut Crook Congo Walking Stick is a uniquely stylish gentlemen's cane that perfectly combines the traditional style of a classic crook with the interesting pinched texture of the Congo effect. Made from strong chestnut wood and fitted with a non-slip rubber ferrule, this stick is not only visually appealing, but durable and reliable as well.

Perfect for Everyday Use

Only certain canes can be classified as suitable for everyday use. They need to be low key, highly functional, reliable and comfortable all at once, and, while everyday sticks come in all colours and sizes, the most commonly seen handles are still the Crook and the Derby.

Crook Handle

The Crook is one of the most iconic, traditional country stick handles. Its easy-to-grip design makes it great for catching a balance on uneven surfaces, while it allows you to quickly hook the stick over your arm when no longer needed.

The Congo Effect

The Congo effect is produced by pinching the growing chestnut stick at intervals along its length a year before it is due to be harvested. The wounds then grow over and, when the stick is harvested, the bark is removed to reveal the knobbly cane underneath.

Chestnut Wood

The cane is grown from coppiced chestnut wood, as chestnut is one of the trees that responds very well to this method, which is still commonly practised in Great Britain. This type of wood is known for its strength and durability, making it the ideal material for walking sticks.

Sizing of the Gents' Chestnut Crook Congo Walking Stick

The approximate height of this cane is 92cm (36"). Due to the natural sourcing and manufacturing process, however, the length may vary slightly from product to product.
