The makhila, a traditional Basque walking stick, is handcrafted from wood and tailor-made based on the height and weight of the future owner. The name and motto of the future recipient are also engraved on the metallic parts, together with the initials on the pommel. A braided wrist strap ensures that the makhila is well-adjusted when walking.
