This is a substantial heavyweight stick suitable for the larger person or those who prefer a heavy and sturdy walking stick.  It is well deserving of the name Irish Shillelagh due to its weight and strength.  The Irish Shillelagh originated as an Irish Weapon or fighting stick.  This blackthorn stick then evolved due to the penal laws introduced by the English which outlawed them.  They became longer and were 'disguised' if you like as walking sticks but still packed a punch.
