Our Slim Stick represents a new departure in the world of elegant walking sticks. It's light as a feather, yet stiff and rigid enough to offer surprisingly good support when crossing wet, slippery streets or negotiating cracked broken sidewalks. It takes its inspiration from similar sticks used in the Filipino Martial Arts and Boxe Française (Savate). It's amazingly tough, strong, and blindingly fast.
The Slim Stick's incredible weight to speed ratio, combined with its strength and rigidity, is the result of the materials used in its fabrication. The mirror polished "dimpled" ball head is fashioned out of solid 6061 aluminum and double silver anodized to resist abrasion and tarnish. But the real weight economy was achieved in the construction of its unique shaft. Spun on a custom made mandrel from 100% black and silver carbon fiber thread it's incredibly handsome and strong and, in our very severe impact tests, proved to be virtually unbreakable! Plus, we have equipped the Slim Stick with a small but highly functional rubber ferrule, which really grips most surfaces and is easily replaced when worn out.
If you're looking for a new, cool stick that can be wielded fast as light and provides real functional support and balance, then the Slim Stick is definitely for you.
love and hate
i fell deeply in love with this slick frankly badass product the moment it graced my hands. light as a feather sexy as all hell, but i had a major problem with it. i was strolling along and decided to release my inner child and took a wack at a long dead dried out tree brach. i have to admite i almost cryed when the head came flying off. and to my surprise what bfailed was the carbon fiber near the top. it cracked from top to bottom of the female screw soccot. I didnt even take a man killing swing at the branch, just a get the hell out of my way swing and bam my favorite self defence tool broken. god i miss my slim stick

Super Light, Super Fast, Super Tough!
I bought this for my grandfather. I took a couple of inches off the bottom (adjusted for his height), then put it to the test to ensure the shaft was still impervious to impacts. It's great! Thanks, Cold Steel...
