Overview of the Cold Steel African Walking Stick | 91WAS
The Cold Steel African Walking Stick 91WAS is a 37 inch black polypropylene walking stick styled after the traditional Zulu knobkerrie. It pairs a geodesic ball head with an undulating shaft, so it looks hand carved without the upkeep a wood stick demands.
Wood sticks swell, split, and rot after a few wet seasons. Cold Steel states this one will not warp, rot, swell, splinter, or crack, because it is made of solid high-impact polypropylene. Hikers, preppers, and security officers who walk in all weather get a stick built to last.
Built for Rough Ground
-
37 inches long and 25.3 ounces for steady balance on uneven trails
- Shaft grows from 1 1/4 inches at the base to 1 3/4 inches at the neck for a secure hold

A Classic Shape With Modern Toughness
The heavy ball head gives your palm a solid rest on climbs and a confident, planted feel in hand. Prefer a knotted shillelagh look? Compare it with the Cold Steel 37" Irish Blackthorn Walking Stick 91PBS.

Intended Users
Hikers and day walkers use the African Walking Stick for balance on loose rock, slick mud, and steep grades. Preppers and survivalists keep it in a vehicle or bug out kit because it never rots, rusts, or needs care. Security officers and night shift workers who patrol parking lots and grounds on foot carry it as a sturdy walking companion. Knife and edged tool collectors add it to Cold Steel collections for its classic African styling, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a walking stick that looks traditional but handles modern abuse choose it over wood.
