How would you rate my stick?
1-10. How good of a stick is this? I quite like it.

Mr_Blott, Sorry mate but I have to give it a 6 because the nubs would dig into your hand when walking. A bit of whittling would take it up to an 8 tho
angrystego, I like the nubs, they’re beautifully regular and antislippery.
Mr_Blott, Clearly not a hiker then, we are experienced in this type of stuff 😀
angrystego, Yeah, I’m more of a ‘waving my stick in the air, cutting nettles with it and showing others how cool the stick is’ kind of person.
ohlaph, According to this guide, it’s pretty good.
FastWarfarin, 
It’s pretty good, but the thumb guard is an issue here
pomodoro_longbreak, 
Also lack of secondary grip take it down a little
figaro, Ugh unsolicited stick pics 😮💨
It’s nice though lol
intensely_human, Hey I’ve got a question for you: what’s brown and sticky?
TheWanderer, Nutella
Mr_Blott, Parcel tape
intensely_human, A STICK 🤣
foggianism, We should ban stick pics on this platform.
Streetdog, (edited ) I’m getting so sick of stick pics. Gotta fetch’m all.
D_C, Awh, I like stick pics. The girthier, the better…
livedeified, 
tha fuq is this shit, reddit?
sirfancy, No fun allowed
rikudou, 
Perfect score of 5/7, I quite like it.
uhmbah, Scrolled too far to upvote this one.
Vcio, 
Where is the stick ? I only see a sword
tetris11, 
That’s a katana, and that’s a hill I’m willing to have lunch on.
ada, 
Stick at it, you’ll see it
MrGerrit, (edited ) You talking about that lightsaber?
Lightsong, (edited ) We should have ratemystick community.
TheGiantKorean, 
Absolutely.
expatriado, hopefully the idea sticks
TheGiantKorean, It would be a good way for us to branch out.
tetris11, No let’s not. People will start off mildly, but as the popularity of the sub rises, you will get chumps chopping down trees to make the perfect stick.
Then you get the lathe guys muddying the rules of the competition, and then the sub becomes either a pinewood derby stick contest (with permitted parts), or a how-to-make-a-batting-club bonanza.
No, I’m out. closes curtains
tun, (edited ) There is !stick
intensely_human, 7/10. Good form, but that wet side makes me worry it could be weakened by rot.
With evidence of a successful truck smack test, I’d be open to raising my rating.
intensely_human, TRUNK smack. I hate autocorrect
FartsWithAnAccent, 
What do you want to do with the stick?
TheGiantKorean, Like, you know, stick stuff.
FartsWithAnAccent, That is a vast field of science.
Lord_ToRA, 
He’s gonna stick it to the man!
Extrasvhx9he, (edited ) Pros:
- from the look, great length for a sword
- looks straight enough
- the thickness doesn’t seem too thin so might be okay to throw
Cons:
- Aerodynamics need work
- adding a point increases the coolness factor by a substantial percentage
- not thick/long enough so it can’t serve as a walking stick imo
In conclusion, solid 8/10. Good stick
kernelle, I think this would make for a pretty fine walking stick if you ask me, doubles as a bush clearing stick when needed
TornadoRex, This guy sticks
HiddenLayer5, 
Hang on let me bring in a stick expert…
(Someone please get the reference so I don’t look like a total idiot)
nope, Yesyes stick cat I remember
ASoftGlow, Rock?
Massada42, It’s better than bacon.
khannie, 
Woah, woah. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. I mean it’s certainly an excellent stick, but bacon? I mean c’mon now.
Although having said that, if offered bacon or this stick it’s hard to say which direction I’d go.
NPC, Yes.
TheGiantKorean, Indeed.
ChicoSuave, Truly
jawa21, Indubitably.
ElleChaise, What's that, about 3/4" at the top? Seems sturdy, reliable. It could use some decorating, maybe a feather or rounded-off handle. Nice and straight too, not too rigid but not too curved up... I'd give this stick a 7.2 out of a maximum possible score of 10.
EmoBean, Everyone is over rating this, low to mid 7/10 is accurate. It’s a very nice stick but far from a 10/10. I guess there is personal preference, but there’s a real 10/10 out there for everyone that I hope you guys get to experience one day. I had a solid 9/10 stick that I used hiking for years.
