The Leather Safari Walking Stick is a fusion of rustic beauty and functional utility: This walking stick is Brazos' venerable hickory walking stick accented with a leather handle comprised of 35 layers of vegetable tanned leather sandwiched between rings of the exotic woods – brass, padauk, and ebony – imported from Africa and South America.. 58-inch height is a good size for those 5'11" and taller.. Just above vertical handle, there is a hole with a leather loop that is ideal for hanging hiking stick.. Because it's solid wood, there are no moving parts to become unstable..
