I purchased the Classic CanesAmethyst acrylic marbled moderne derby walking stick from the Stick & Cane Shop (£36.95 plus postage). It is an extremely elegant and lightweight walking stick. The colour combination is eye catching and a classic combination of purple, black and a silver tone accent around the top of the stick. The handle is very tactile - the purple is the exact deep purple colour as high quality Brazilian amethyst and the colour shifts slightly as the light changes. The handle puts a twist on the original derby style whence the modern reference. I have very small hands and find the handle comfortable to hold and use.
The shaft of the walking stick is black and made from hardwood. There is a silver gilt metal collar to break up the two main colour ways. The stick is stylish, sophisticated, light weight and easy to adjust. I had 28 cm cut off as I am small in stature. Without my modifications the walking stick measures 95cm and weights 250g. It doesn’t have a wrist strap but I don’t see that as a problem for me as I don’t really use them. The walking stick comes in several other colour ways: garnet; emerald; silver; pink and coffee. All of these options have the same black shaft. There are also extending versions available for £56.
I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in this blog are my own.
