Why Does My Walking Stick Need a Durable Ferrule?

The bottom of your walking stick is in constant contact with the ground, which is why it is important to protect this most vulnerable part of your stick from wear and tear. A durable ferrule, such as this metal ferrule, acts as a shield, ensuring that the bottom of the stick remains functional for a long time.

Fitting the Ferrule

The base of the ferrule contains an aperture through which the screw is placed, to screw the ferrule firmly to the end of a wooden walking stick. This ensures the ferrule will not fall off as the natural wood of the walking stick expands and contracts.

Which Walking Sticks Are Compatible with the Type K Ferrule?

This durable metal ferrule can be screwed onto virtually any wooden walking stick. It's available in 10 different diameters, so all you need to do is measure the bottom of your walking stick, and choose a suitable ferrule.
