Discover our exclusive collection of authentic basque walking sticks. If you wish to buy a genuine piece of art, Atelier Alberdi offers unique custom models tailored to each individual.

The price of a makhila ranges from 330€ to 1150€ depending on the finishes and metals chosen (brass, nickel silver, or sterling silver). Each stick derives its nobility from wild medlar wood, a rare timber scarified directly in the forest where it heals on the tree for years before being seasoned for over a decade in our workshop.

Frequently Asked Questions about Basque Walking Sticks

We hand-engrave your personal details on the metal ferrules (the rings) rather than the pommel, ensuring a noble feel and an elegant design. You can engrave your first name, last name, and a motto (in Basque, English, or any language of your choice) that represents your values. Every letter is chiseled by hand in our workshop.

A makhila should be a true extension of your arm. To determine the ideal length, we prefer to advise you personally rather than using standard charts. Contact us directly, and we will guide you on how to take the exact measurement so your stick arrives perfectly balanced for your height.
