Very nice, well made. Definitely strong enough to wack a creature over the head, weather it be 2 legged or 4 legged. Here is a cool thing I didn't know until I received it. When you attach the SOG spearhead/throwing knife to end of walking stick you can use the sheath that comes with it to keep spear covered and it snaps around the walking stick securely like it was made for it. Beautiful.
