Strathtay Sticks

Horn Walking Sticks

Horn Walking Sticks are by far the most popular sticks. The unique colour of the rams horn used to create the handle is very distinctive and extremely strong. To create the desired handle a lot of work is needed to take the rams horn and carve it to the size and shape required.

All Shanks are made of Hazel, this wood is used for its strength and durability.

The price of a good carved horn stick will be between £100 to £200 depending on the quality and the detail in the carving. The wooden handled sticks will be less and range from £80 upwards. A stags horn thumb stick will be £40.
