Asterom Handcrafted Canes for Men, Ergonomic Wooden Walking Cane, Oak Wood

Updated Review: I was able to utilize Amazon's return & exchange service in this case, reporting a flaw with the item I had received, and requesting another identical replacement item sent from stock. I shipped the original item back the same day I had received it. I also received a message from the manager of the Asterom workshop, who expressed his sincere regrets for the trouble and sought to make the situation better. We had a satisfying exchange discussing workshop methods, family business, quality control efforts, etc. He was very helpful and kind, and made it clear that the business takes their quality (and customers' satisfaction) very seriously. To my surprise, the replacement cane from Amazon arrived several days earlier than anticipated. It fits together as expected, very nicely. Everything aligns as it's designed to, just like on the cane we ordered for my wife. Sturdy, smooth and comfortable in the hand, and beautiful to look at. I am impressed by the workshop and their selection of products, as well as their dedication to quality and service. I know we are looking forward to some future purchases to customize our canes further. ========================================================================== Original 2-Star Review: My wife and I just ordered two different canes from Asterom, in different colors and handle styles. Hers is fine and has no issues, but my order had an alignment issue which goes back to its fabrication. The threaded socket embedded into the upright stick is off center, so when the handle bolt is screwed in, it doesn't align flush, and causes the metal ring to sit unevenly. I've included a couple pictures of the bad alignment, and the off-center hole. I've requested a return and exchange. I'll update my review upon receipt of the replacement.

Incredible cane! Extremely strong and confidence inspiring. Handle fits great and is comfortable. Wood throughout looks fantastic. My first one had an understandable defect and I contacted Asterom. Oleg responded quickly and very politely resolved my issue beyond my expectations. I can't say enough about this cane, or their support in the unlikely case you require it. I'm a tall guy and have even found it solid and sure footed on uneven surfaces like cobblestone. The tip is very good rubber but is also shaped and thick so as to smooth out the ground for us. I highly recommend.

Had a little accident and broke several bones in my left foot. According to the doc, a cane will be a good idea even after the bones heal. So I decided if I'm gonna be on the gimpy side, I'm at least going to do it with style. Though the price of this cane was considerably higher than most, I can now attest that -- da-yum -- it was SO worth it! The craftsmanship is evident from the moment you take the cane from the carefully-packed box. In a word, it is beautiful! It feels super-solid in the hand and the weight, while not exactly "heavy," is definitely substantial; it inspires confidence. Also, I'm not a violent guy, but this thing would work about as well as a baseball bat with regard to self-defense. It's that formidable. The handle is meticulously crafted and fits my hand like I was born with it there. The finish is impeccable and the brass band is a thing of beauty. Seriously, everything about this cane just screams quality and brilliant design. I bought a slightly longer one than I thought I might need and cut it down to size (removing about an inch) with a miter box saw. The rubber foot was a tiny bit difficult to remove, but that has to be the case in order to keep it in place during heavy usage. It's also nice that they sent along a second rubber foot and a wrist strap, though I'm not using that at the moment. I got the deep cherry red finish on mine and it looks GREAT. I've been using mine for the past week or two and can attest that it works about as well as one could hope for. It feels like a natural extension of my arm and provides all the support I'll (hopefully) ever need. If you're looking for the best cane for any money, look no further. You're not going to find anything better. This thing is essentially perfect, and that's not a word I use often.

Very Nice walking-cane. Hand-carved/sculpted handle feel and fits great...with an assurance of being strong. The price-point seemed eing at the hi-end, (comparatively to many others offered. However, I purchased this one, figuring supporting me and saving me from a fall being far more important than spending an extra $40. in protecting me from such mishaps. I've had this, (my 1st cane), about two months, using it and carrying it on my tractor and lawnmower, accidentally dropping it several times and even running over it on my lawn-mower...and so there's a couple of nicks now in the handle, but the unit has held-up great through all the dropping it on concrete floors etc...it still looks nice, I just sanded-off the rough-edges from the mishaps of chips in the handle...(but I needed a strong cane to support me out-side handy while working in the yard and fields and shop. I'm getting more accustomed to needing my walking-cane with me and so now more accustomed to keeping it from falling odd the tractor and lawn-mower, instead of loosing it or dropping it everywhere (ha) ...it's STILL a beautiful sturdy cane.

Canes are absolutely beautiful. Workmanship is wonderful and wood grain is stunning. I liked my cane so much I special ordered a second cane. Customer Service is as good as the cane and they are very proud of their product. I wanted a dress up cane for evenings and special functions where a metal cane just didn’t fit the occasion. Asterom Canes are a beautiful addition to any outfit and occasion. Suggestion, Definitely use the cane strap with a wooden cane, especially when around hard floor, dropping the cane handle can chip. Asterom Canes are a great accessory and handmade artistry and should be treated as such. Canes are beautiful and I would highly recommend.

I severely dislocated my ankle in April, followed by corrective surgery, and this is the first time I've had a cane. I started with a folding one that stands on its own, but I found it would get caught, stepped on, etc and it would come apart. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a good wooden one. I agonized on price but I am amazed at the quality. It is beautiful, and while I have no issue with it I will mention that the cane is further than the metal one I have, to the point that if you have a smaller hand or lighter grip you may be a tad uncomfortable with the grip. But the quality is pristine. I will be buying my father one who is permanently disabled specifically because I believe in the product and it made such an impact. It is resilient, it is fantastic quality, and it definitely impresses on sight!

Nice quality. Easy to put together. Took it out of the box and someone stuck their gum on the packaging-only issue.

A most excellent cane! Beautifully crafted, nice hand-fitting curves on the handle and an elegant, simple piece of design. PLUS - It is made in Ukraine, so if you need a cane, get one of these and get a quality item and help support freedom.

Gut und stabil, aber teuer. Der Handgriff zerbricht an den Kanten, wenn er aus der Hand fällt. Nach Reklamation kein Antwort.

Muy bonito, se ve de excelente calidad, fino y fácil de manejar, además para las personas que apenas empiezan a usar bastón como el caso de mi esposo, les levanta su autoestima al no verse como un simple bastón de hospital.

Chegou bem antes do prazo. Embalagem ótima. Produto cumpre o que promete. Esperava um pouco mais do cabo.

Super product, well-made and it's great to find a quality product from Ukraine. The options list is small on the Amazon site, a brochure which came with the cane showed many more colours and several length options. The caramel I purchased is fine, an attractive stain of the oak these sticks are made from. The standard length is 36" and that proved to be close to optimum for me. The cane feels sturdy, without being especially heavy, and the grip feels good in either hand. The hanger loop which comes with the cane looks a bit light, but it fits well and I've found it to be really handy. Overall, a fantastic walking stick whose quality justifies the price tag.

this cane is a pleasure to own . strong. handsome . i like it more and more each day i use it
