Our fighting sticks are styled on the sticks actually used in martial arts stick fighting. They undergo a different seasoning process than our other sticks, necessary to produce a balanced, fast, and accurate weapon. Although they can look like walking sticks they are not always suitable for use as a walking aid due to the different grip and feel of the stick. They are designed to be carried by holding the shaft about a third of the way down. "With your shillelagh under your arm."

Most of the sticks offered on this page are oil treated to the point where they can be exported as sealed wood but can still be given a final outer finish of the buyers choice - 

 OIL  (choice of most stick fighters and can be re-oiled or refinished as desired)  Allow 28 days for delivery of oil finished sticks

MATT  (we use a really nice matt varnish that is almost indistinguishable from the oil finish and gives a leathery feel. Requires little or no maintenance) HARD GLAZE    (Glossier finish, not suitable for martial arts)                                       

Many are not lead loaded but it is still possible to do so if desired by the buyer. Check out the specs for available options. .

PLEASE INDICATE YOUR PREFERENCES WHEN ORDERING (where 'OPTIONAL is offered)

These sticks are not usually suitable for use as walking sticks. For sticks that can be used as such we indicate this in the "Right/Left Hand" fields below where n/a = not suitable.

For sticks that look like fighting sticks but are actual walking sticks, see our FIGHTING STYLE page
