The spiral effect on this walking cane makes it a very attractive cane indeed. The Derby handle is designed to be hooked over the wrist to free up the hands when needed, thank you Lord Derby The wood is beech and the spiral has been carved into the wood by machine. A well-made and good quality walking stick for him or her. The total height is 91cm (36 Inches) from the floor to the top of the handle. This can be shortened if you want it to be, just add the crop service to your basket and give the new height desired. The tip is finished with a metal ferrule so please add a rubber ferrule to your order if you want one.
