    I'd regard these as kilt accessories if they are carried by a kilted gent. There are several things, such as a flight jacket or boots which could equally be worn with trousers or a kilt, but I would regard them as kilt accessories while I am wearing them with a kilt.

    Those are all very nice. You have a lot of talent as a carver. My favorite is the crook with the thistle, it is a very handsome walking stick indeed.

    Absolutely! Shouldn't a gentleman always have a walking stick at hand when enjoying a stroll.

    Beautiful work, Tom! But I have to ask - whence the name 'thumbstick'? I've never heard that term before - only walking stick, cane, staff, and crook. Care to enlighten me? Thanks!

    I'm with Panache. I REALLY like the thistle one.

    That is a handsome lot of walking sticks I would say yes you could call them kilt accessories. I like the thistle as well.

    That is beautiful work, Tom. My wife would kill for the one that lhas the bird, because it resembles a rooster, and she is addicted to roosters. She'll buy anything that has roosters.
