KS Shaft ferrule is world leading paddle shaft adjuster made of hi-tech plastic.
This universal ferrule unit is well known from the quality and operation.
KS Ferrule unit is the finest shaft adjuster solution for free feather and length adjustment on the market.
Ferrule works instantly both right and left handed. Ferrule unit has simple and smooth construction with very easy and reliable operation. It is fully corrosion free and friendly to all type of waters. Together with the detailed design and high tech plastic we have succeeded in making a strong and tireless ferrule unit which will be a trouble-free and long lasting solution for your paddle.
We stock ferrules for a range of sizes of circular paddle shafts (and an oval shaft - see separate page).
Match the ferrule with the connector or shaft adjustment tube that is slightly narrower in diameter (see picture on how to measure - best done with Verniers).
Storing
It is strongly recommended to store the ferrule / paddle in an open position, not closed. In open position the ferrule is not under continuous stress and it will lengthen the service life multiple times.
The Shaft Outer diameter of the paddle shaft fits into one end of the Ferrule, the Connector or Adjustment tube needs to fit inside both the ferrule and inside Paddle Shaft (Shaft Inner Diameter) - see pictures.
This range of Ferrules is being superceded by Kajak Sport's 2M range of ferrules - link to them here.

Great product, doesn't corrode and get stiff like some of the other types. The 29/27 size was a good fit for the Jantex super flexi soft paddle shaft and paired with the matching 26.9 graduated tube it made a solid and reliable adjustable connection.

These joiners work but seem to wear out and need replacing after a couple of years of frequent use . No worse than other plastic joiners though.

Much better than the metal ones . Has enough adjustability to fit any insert shaft if you order the correct size. Super fast postage.

The KS Ferrule, when combined with the correct shaft adjustment tube converted a one piece paddle into a much more versatile, fully adjustable two piece paddle. The quality and precision is very impressive.

Purchased this with appropriate adapter tube. Epoxied in place. Nice solid joint with no discernible movement in the joint
