About The Stick

Offering freedom, independence, comfort and style, The Stick is the perfect companion after an injury or operation and is a marvelous gift for those we love who may be suffering from ailment, injuries, infirmity or conditions where some extra support is required.

The elegant, unique and highly polished cast aluminium handle, which is ordered for either the left or right hand, is matched with...

  • A resin reinforced (very strong) cane shaft, in a range of colour options.

  • A non slip sleeve so it's less likely to slip to the floor when propped against a table

  • A removable wrist lanyard.

  • A non-slip silicon foot.

Ensure you know which hand to order and how long the stick needs to be with more information on our page The Correct Stick.

When looking for a walking stick consider these variables.

  • Comfort – the HAB handle has been through a comprehensive shaping and testing process to ensure all day use does not lead to pressure points or discomfort. The shaft is cut to the optimum requirements of the customer before being sent out.

  • Provenance – Designed and made in New Zealand.

  • Function – What does it look like, is it comfortable, will it be used, how strong is it?

  • Style – A good stick should reflect the character and personality of the person it is for. It should offer you (or someone you love) an air of elegance, gravitas and dignity.

Choosing the correct Walking Stick

There are a number of options that need to be taken into consideration when ordering the walking stick. Most importantly...

1. Is it for the right or left hand?

2. Order the correct length.

See The Correct Stick for more information.

About Me

The Stick evolved out of frustration I felt after several injuries and procedures that required the use of a walking stick. I found the walking stick options were either depressingly functional or excessively ornate.
 

After a year of experimentation with handle shapes, materials and functionality I designed the supremely comfortable HAB handle. Further experimentation with suitable shafts, trying manuka and pine, I settled on resin reinforced natural bamboo.

 

I am confident that anyone using one of my walking sticks will be completely satisfied (unless it is ordered too short). If I'm wrong I offer a money back guarantee.

Enjoy
