Etterra,

I’d say it’s a 6. Nice and straight with very little taper. Those little branch nubbins would make it suck to hold at the end, and the bark needs to be stripped off across the entire thing. I’d take a belt sander to it and clean it up some

uis,

On my uneducated guess 42/10

ohlaph,

According to this guide, it’s pretty good.

It’s pretty good, but the thumb guard is an issue here

Also lack of secondary grip take it down a little

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.

shinigamiookamiryuu,

Not as good as mine.

It appears a bit brittle, more girth at the bottom may be necessary if used for weight bearing activities 🤔

braxy29,

i was gonna say 6 at the first pic, but the second pic makes me think it’s an 8! nice taper, nice size, i like how the little nubs add visual interest.

It’s hard to judge a stick without feeling it’s heft but from looks alone I give it a 6 maybe. Above average for shape and length but the bark quality (aesthetically) and the lumps really take from its value.

At another glance I can tell this stick was recently living and probably quite solid as such. I’ll raise it to 7/10

I guess it’s okay. Kinda lumpy, but that’s not a bad thing.

6 out of 10…but maybe 9 out of 10 if it turns out to be a good beatin’stick

bhamlin,

7 out of 10. 9 with rice.

Looks like it’s got some heft to it. That’ll definitely do the job. 8/10

Length 10/10 Girth 9/10 Smoothnes 6/10

I like a smooth stick. This is a good stick. I wish it didn’t have jagged edges. But it sure is a trekking buddy. 8/10

We should make a stick enthusiast community. I can if no one else wants to.

Edit: Here it is! sh.itjust.works/c/stick !stick

kadotux,

That is a very nice stick, although I prefer shorter and girthier. That is however a solid 8 from me.
