A very practical and comfortable walking stick.  The shaped handle spreads the user's weight across the palm of the hand, making it comfortable to use for extended periods of time.  The visible shock absorber mechanism reduces the 'jarring' caused to the wrist and elbow joints each time the cane makes contact with the ground.  The plastic handle and aluminium shaft are both black; the shock absorber mechanism is chrome plated for a smart appearance.  Fitted with a non-slip rubber ferrule, the cane is height-adjustable between 77 and 100cm (30”-39”).  It is fitted with a screw-tightening attachment, to ensure a firm fit and no irritating rattling sounds when the cane is in use.  Cane available in left or right handed versions; often bought as a pair.  Ferrule diameter 19mm.
