Look at these beefy sticks from Finland. Järvinen of Lahti was the premier manufacturer of cross-country skis in the country from the 1930s to the 1980s. These poles were made with the most demanding consumers in mind, and no doubt the strongest! Six-point wicker/leather baskets give these a solid foundation to power you forward. That black tape? Well that is the classic way to reinforce a shaft when the inevitable bamboo split occurs.
