The Cold Steel African Walking Stick is a 37-inch walking aid modeled on the Knob Kerrie, the ball-headed stick of Africa (Cold Steel part no. 91WAS). Cold Steel keeps the undulating shaft and distinctive geodesic ball of the traditional Zulu Kerrie but molds it from high-impact polypropylene instead of expensive exotic hardwood. That material choice means it will not rot, warp, crack, splinter, swell, shrink, mildew or fade. Its main job is to help with balance on uneven, slippery or rough ground, and Cold Steel notes it can also serve as a self-defense option in an emergency. It suits hikers, travelers and anyone who wants a durable stick with a distinctive look.
