MATSU Stick : J Grip Canvas Micarta - Men

MATSU high-grade men's walking stick with J-grip.

The J-grip can be hung on the elbow like an umbrella handle. The grip is made of extra super duralumin and canvas micarta and fastened with extra super duralumin bolts. It is lightweight, durable, and easy to fit. The smooth finishing of materials of varying hardness requires the skill of a master craftsman. The carbon shaft has both lightweight and strength.

J-GRIP

The J-grip has the advantage of being placed on the elbow. This is the grip that British gentlemen still like to carry.

Material

CANVAS MICARTA

Canvas micarta is made of laminated cotton fabric woven with thicker threads and pressure-molded with phenolic resin (thermosetting resin). This material is popular for insulation and knife grips, and is resistant to both heat and water. It is also excellent in terms of fit due to its fine unevenness.

EXTRA SUPER DURALUMIN

An aluminum-based alloy (aluminum: 90.4%, zinc: 5.5%, magnesium: 2.5%, copper: 1.6%) that was created in pursuit of both lightness and durability. This aluminum alloy was invented in Japan before World War II for use in airplanes and is still indispensable in industrial products.

CARBON

Fiber made by carbonizing acrylic fiber or pitch (a byproduct of petroleum, coal, coal tar, etc.) at a high temperature of about 1000℃. Excellent in lightness and durability. It has 1/4 the specific gravity of iron, 10 times the specific strength, and 7 times the specific modulus of elasticity.

MATSU Cane & Walking Stick Design

GRIP ‐ Ergonomic Symmetry

The Stick is designed so that the grip is an extension of the shaft. There are three grip shapes: ball grip, T grip, and J grip.

NECK ‐ Robust and Strong Connection.

The parts that connect the grip to the shaft use a cross structure. This structure is both lightweight and durable. To further increase the strength, multiple parts machined from solid brass are combined. The difference is obvious when compared to general casting (method of pouring into a mold and molding). The seamless outline is the result of craftsmanship that makes it hard to believe that the parts are combined.

STRAP ‐ A Tool to Free Your Hands

Straps are useful when you want to free up both hands. It also stands out as a design accent.

SHAFT ‐Elegance Brought About by the Slightest Difference

The diameter of the shaft is set at 20mm at the top and 18mm at the bottom (17mm at the top and 15.5mm at the bottom for women). This slight taper dramatically changes the impression. Although it is not obvious to the naked eye, the lower part of the top is non-tapered, or straight. If you want to shorten the length, you can adjust it here

FERRULE ‐ A Great Supporting Role that also Serves as a Cover

A ferrule that comes in direct contact with the ground needs to be durable, as well as slip-resistant and shock-absorbent. Since a typical ferrule is made of ebonite or horn, a cap-like cover had to be added to complement the latter function. The hard materials like ebonite or horn did not fit the modern road conditions. We solved the problem of aesthetics by making the ferrule itself out of rubber. It can be replaced when worn.

It will wear out after six months to a year of normal use, so please purchase replacement parts.
