This invention provides a walking stick (cane) which exhibits sufficient strength against impacts, as well as excellent safety, durability, repairability, and rigidity it is also light. The walking stick has a shaft portion (4) and a grip portion (1). The shaft portion (4) has high-strength organic fibre reinforced resin layers (31) and a carbon fibre reinforced resin layer (32). The high strength organic fibre reinforced resin layers (31) are laminated integrally on an outer peripheral surface and an inner periphered surface of the high strength organic fibre reinforced resin layer (32). A glass fibre reinforced resin layer (33a) is provided on a futher inner side of the innermost high strength organic fibre reinforced resin layer (31a), and another glass fibre reinforced resin layer (33b) is provided on a further outer side of the outermost high strength organic fibre reinforced resin layer (31b).
