This listing is for Hickory hardwood octagonal construction Martial arts or Hiking bo staffs. They are made with laminated construction which improves strength durability, safety, and straightness. Its width from flat surface to opposite flat surface is approximately 1 and 1/4 inch. Length available is 60"-72".
The octagonal style design feels EXTREMELY natural in the hands and is the ultimate for outdoor use staffs. Because of the octagonal profile, these staffs feel more solid when gripping and is preferred by many martial artists because of this quality, as the staff locks into the hand. It is the absolute wonderful for wilderness hiking as well due to the angled surfaces and ease of grip. They are also excellent for kata and strength training in the martial arts.
1,1/4 staffs have a very sturdy feel similar to a European heavy quarterstaff. For lighter weight options, such as a staff that is needed for more speed, or carrying for longer distances, then please see our selection of octagonal or round staffs in 1,1/8 or 1".
Hickory is the hardest available North American wood. Hickory prevents this bo from having almost any wobble or flex and has a great sturdy feel. Please note that hickory can come in the lighter sapwood color, the darker heartwood color, or a combination of both, giving each staff a unique natural beauty. These variations are purely aesthetic and do not at all affect the performance or the feel of the wood.
It is finished with several coats of Linseed and Beeswax oil, which gives it a permanent shine and protective layer while allowing the users hands to slip effortlessly up and down the staff, which is required for proper technique.
