    Question Lollysmith's Blackthorn Sticks?

    I'd like to acquire a good blackthorn stick to walk with while kilted, and quite like the look of those offered by Lolly Smith--but they're pricey! Is there another source, or are Lolly Smith's sticks especially good?

    Any input would be very welcome... and if this isn't the right place to ask, please do move/delete, and accept my apologies!

    That would be me. :-)

    I got the 37" one below, and liked it so much that I then got the hiking staff length one shown in my profile pic.

    I recently saw some in a catalog for $59.95... but can't remember the vendor! (Sorry!!) Keep searching. That's the first time I've seen ANY listed for over $100.00....

    Have you seen these? I have seen them on Amazon for cheaper than the $60 listed here.
