Grip variants for walking sticks
A walking stick should not only look beautiful, but should first and foremost support the wearer and lie optimally in the hand. To ensure this, we offer different grip types for every taste and every hand. The handle shape of the handle plays an essential role in the handling and the possible applications of a walking stick, so it is useful to familiarize yourself with the different types of handles.

(can be used on both sides)
Anatomical

Fritz grip
A classic among the handle shapes is the fritted grip. It owes its name to the "Old Fritz", the Prussian King Friedrich II.
The Fritz grip was designed especially for people with painful wrist problems such as arthritis. The pressure points in the middle area of the hand are minimized and thus the wrist is relieved. Due to the ergonomic shape of the handle, the walking stick is not only a piece of jewelry and accessory, but also an effective help for people with slight walking impairments.
We offer a large variety of canes with fritted handles made of different materials. So you can choose the grip that is the most flattering, skin-friendly and of course most appealing for you. You can choose from walking sticks with wooden grips, leather grips, acrylic grips, chromed grips or also with grips with a pleasant soft-touch coating.
Derby grip
The Derby grip is one of the most popular grip shapes. The grip was invented by Lord Derby in a time when a walking stick was more of an accessory and status symbol than a walking aid. The more elaborate and strikingly decorated the handle was, the better. Above all, Lord Derby wanted an elegant walking stick that could also be attached to his arm.
The elegant, curved shape fits very well in the hand and offers support and stability. The Derby grip can be used with either the left or right hand.
Our range of walking sticks with Derby grip is very large. We have both grips in different materials and with different finishes. So you can choose the handle that is the most flattering, skin-friendly and, of course, the most attractive for you. You can choose for example walking sticks with wooden grips, acrylic grips, chromed grips, cork grips, soft grips or also with grips with a pleasant soft-touch coating.
