One of the most popular handle shapes, the derby offers excellent support. This style of walking stick carries the users weight directly over the shaft of the stick, and its curves prevent the hand slipping forward or backward. The Derby walking stick is reputed to have been designed by Lord Derby, who wanted a supportive walking stick that he could still hook over his arm when he wanted his hands free, for example when watching his racehorses run.

A classic everyday walking stick for those requiring support and balance. The derby handle offers excellent support to the hand, and may be hooked over the arm when not in use
