The Brazos Brass Spike concept was developed in house, after years of selling other excellent spike ferrules: the Lee Valley Spike, the Spike Ferrule, and the Combo Spike. The idea was to offer our customers a quality spike, in the same vein as the venerable Lee Valley Spike, but at a lower price point. The result is this rugged brass spike coupled with a premium quality, removable rubber ferrule. Spike ferrules are useful for going "off road" with your walking stick, where you may need extra "grip" on rocky terrain, uneven footing, snow, and even ice. Please note, unlike the Lee Valley Spike, the Brazos Brass Spike's pointed end is not removable. The premium rubber ferrule that comes standard with the Brazos Brass Spike, is ideal for most walking situations. It offers a firm, secure grip on just about any surface, while protecting the brass spike until it's ready for use. Finally, the Brazos Brass Spike, attached to a handcrafted Brazos Walking Stick, is an ideal gift, as it offers both utility and distinct style. Made in America, One at a Time Unlike sterile, lifeless metal canes and poles, Brazos walking canes offer natural appeal because they are made from real wood. You can see the fine detail and beauty of the actual tree when you look at one. Each cane is a work of art. Plus, because they are solid wood, there are no moving parts to become unstable. Brazos Walking Sticks is family operated and located in the beautiful Brazos River Valley of Central Texas. Each walking stick is handcrafted by skilled local craftsmen. Make it Uniquely Yours All our walking sticks can be personalized with laser engraving, making them uniquely yours. Walking sticks and canes can be further customized with accessories listed above, per your choice.
