AUTHENTIC IRISH: The Irish Shillelagh Walking Stick is a beautiful product with a rich history, dating back to ancient times. The name comes from the Shillelagh Forest in County Wicklow.

About Biddy Murphy, Imported Shillelagh Wooden Irish
Customer AJ refers to this Irish Shillelagh Walking Stick as having "old world quality." He bought this blackthorn walking stick for his mother and she loves it! He said "It makes her feel very dignified." The Irish Shillelagh Walking Stick is a beautiful product with a rich history. Blackthorn wood is very rare so craftsmen will go out to their secret location in the dark. Like the truffle or morel hunters, blackthorn wood is harvested once per year. The name comes from the Shillelagh Forest in Co. Wicklow. It was originally created as a strong fighting stick when weapons weren't allowed. It has evolved to become a sturdy walking stick that is lightweight and a symbol of distinction. Because blackthorn wood is created in nature, no two are exactly the same. Our Irish walking sticks are fashioned to be approximately 36" tall from the bottom of copper ferrule to the top of the handle and about 1" in diameter. This Irish cane features an ergonomically correct handle, which is roughly a right angle and fits perfectly in your hand. It's a beautiful product, unique and rich with tradition. You'll be proud to show off this Irish Shillelagh Walking Stick. May the luck of the Irish always be at hand! *Please keep in mind that these sticks are natural - not man made - so there will be variations and no two sticks are alike. We cannot offer custom lengths or handle designs. The walking sticks are sturdy, made from mature wood that are randomly cut from Blackthorn Trees which are a limited resource in Ireland. Our partners harvest the oldest limbs and season the wood before they sand and paint the precious Blackthorn into the unique configurations that result. Other, less costly sticks may not be true Blackthorn or might not seasoned or left to dry out for 6 months like the Biddy Murphy sticks. Younger wood results in thinner and nubby or thornier and more likely to crack or break as they dry out over time.
