I purchased an Ash walking stick from Paddy at Derryhick Sticks recently. It was very nice, well finished and had excellent balance. After receiving it, I figured out it wasn't the first I'd gotten from Paddy. A few years back, I had purchased a Hazel stick from him, as well. It's my favorite walking stick! I dabble in cane/stick fighting. The sticks from Derryhick Sticks are perfect for this purpose, as well. Walking sticks make excellent self-defense tools. Lots of sticks are available online, but none are of the quality of Derryhick Sticks. Paddy puts a lot of effort into properly balancing and finishing his products. Paddy, thanks for your sticks!

Beautiful craftsmanship, recommend to all . I am really pleased with my purchase , communication outstanding and customer service outstanding , will revisit the shop soon , Thank You Paddy for all your help.

Absolutely LOVE this walking stick. It has already been a loyal companion on many treks. Great communication from the seller! Extremely happy with this purchase!
Thank you!

I love this beautiful piece of one of my favorite places, Ireland. It's actually my second order from DerryhickSticks, it won't be the last. Thanks, Paddy, for the quick delivery
and great work!

A beautiful, and beautifully finished, piece of wood! I love knowing that I will have an organic piece of Ireland with me whenever I carry this wonderful walking stick. I have my eye on a few more pieces in the shop now.

Gorse is the greatest of all woods. This is the first time I've been able to find a walking cane made from it. Need I say more? It did take a while to arrive but given that I ordered in mid-December, that it was sent from Ireland to England and that the package was over three feet long, I think it would have been unreasonable to expect otherwise. Time will tell how durable this specific piece turns out to be, but the odds of me buying another when it eventually breaks are high. Take my advice: buy your cane here, and be sure to choose gorse!
