How durable are the resin handles?

The handles are cast in polyester resin.  Although polyester resin is durable and flexible we recommend care be taken with your walking stick and that you prevent your handles from falling onto hard surfaces.  Our walking sticks are designer items and they are not intended for chopping firewood, attacking the enemy or digging holes.   They are walking sticks, talking sticks or collector’s items – they are not support canes.
