Chieftain's Staff.

Unique and very substantial, it is very rare to discover such an incredible item in

Display centerpiece in our store in Shillelagh since 2007. Not currently for sale.

Awesome blackthorn stick, carefully seasoned and prepared before being fashioned into a walking stick on January 1st, 2000 giving it the unique status of
