Answer 3

Without doubt - a blackthorn.     It is like an ordinary walking stick but the 'thorns' of the blackthorn are cut about a quarter of an inch from the main stem.   When you hit someone with it,  it gives a jagged cut.   If they grab it with their hand, you pull on it and tear the flesh on the hand.   Gruesome - but noone I have ever known has used one as an offensive weapon, but the story that goes with it is quite good............  Slan leat.........
