Description
For those with limited storage space, or a need to carry a full-length marshal stick with minimal fuss, we present the break-down marshal hiking stick!
This hiking stick measures a full 55" in length when fully assembled, yet breaks down into 3 x 18" pieces that fit neatly into a convenient, water-resistant travel pouch. Full marshal stripes have been dutifully painted (in yellow or white) down the length of the pole, starting from below the convenient wrist-strap, and all the way to the base.
The pole is made of Asian Platycladus, or "Asian Bianbai" wood. A very fiberous softwood that produces strength with minimal weight (weight of stick is 1.2 lbs). This is suitable for the vast majority of Marshaling duties, but should not be used to keep stumbling heavier fighters or fencers in-bounds. Each section connects via hardened steel inserts that screw together firmly.
Paint is made up with 3 layers of colored chalk paint (so artistic details can be added to the painted portions with regular chalk). Unpainted sections of the stick retain a smooth varnished coat. Wrist-strap is made of nylon but can be easily replaced with leather cord (leather cord not included). Rubber tip at the end can be removed to reveal a steel spike for hiking in select surfaces. (It is strongly recommended that the tip be in place during tournament and melees).
