A shillelagh also known as an Irish walking stick, is a knotty blackthorn cane with a large, round, and polished knob at the top.
This wooden walking stick has historically been used as a club or cudgel. It has deep rooted associations with Ireland, the fighting Irish, and Irish folklore.

This walking stick measures 36″ long and the knob on the top measures 2 1/2″ diameter.
