On a flight home last night was grazing the Skymall magazing in the seatback and came across this real blackthorn shillelagh/cane/walking stick:

I have no idea about the quality, but it is a Hammacher-Schlemmer listed product and their stuff is usually pretty good quality. Seems like a good deal for the money ($59.99), considering what I know others have paid for similar, and what I have seen them sell for on eBay. Might be worth considering for those interested.

I have several walking sticks that I recently acquired and if another one showed up on our doorstep, I am sure that, regardless of the cost, it and possibly the others might end up as kindling in our fireplace, so I am not in the market---at least right now. If someone buys one, please do a review for the rest of us who might be interested.

Edit: could one of the moderators correct the price in the title to $60 from the posted $69, please?
