Need to get you to look into the combat weapon of my people, the hockey stick :P Seriously though, the hurley stick do kinda remind me of a hockey stick. Would also be interested in you looking at a gunstock club such as the Cree or Ojibwe (O-jib-way) would use.

A local museum has a shorter fighting club/swagger stick from Somalia with fancy engraving and a hidden dagger like a sword cane. From my limited knowledge of global traditions it impressed me as bit like the Irish or Zulu style club but with a surprise. And it left me wondering, has anyone here encountered antique examples of shillelaghs with hidden blades? I can find only minor evidence of such things via web search.

yes, there are quite a few examples of one with a hidden sword cane, theyre expensive, see about 6-7 really good examples, usually with a bit of silver and Masonic

I like your unique stick. Ive been keeping my eye out for a similar one whenever I go out to the bush looking for sticks for canes. Im starting to think that we simply dont have that type of tree where Im from. Saskatchewan Canada, mind you Saskatchewan is a HUGE place, so maybe, just maybe, Ill come across one some day. A man can dream HUH

I can see how the thorns make the stick a more effective weapon, but don't they also make it very painful to hold?

Bayonet training adapts to the shillelagh very well. Try it, you may be surprised. :)
