Blackthorn Knobkerrie or Zulu Shillelagh?

Here I attempt to make a Zulu style Knobkerrie from Blackthorn. So is it a Blackthorn Knobkerrie or a Zulu Shillelagh? You decide.

You can put some paint on the ends to prevent splitting while it dries and cures

Good idea, thanks!

Saw the title in the notification and straight away thought, "hell yeah!", next thought was the song Rocky Road to Dublin😂 Cool that cultures worldwide recognise and utilize such a simple universal tool. Good job on coming back to a project a year on...easier said than done! Nice work mate👍👍
Edit: i reckon its a Blackthorn Knobkerrie😁

[@bundufundi]

Cheers mate! It was definitely interesting testing blackthorn which is the staple over here for tough sticks. How’s things down South?

Very interesting. Do they normally double as a walking stick when not being used as a weapon ? Or are they very much singular purposed ?

[@bundufundi]

The style I made is typically a weapon, walking stick versions usually have a smaller head.

Nicely done!

Thanks!
