White umbrella,
Just got this item from Amazon. I like a sturdy wooden handle and the fact that this umbrella is solid white, no letters or logos. Price is great too. The size is not huge but bigger than regular umbrella. Definitely big enough for two people. I got this umbrella for my small wedding ceremony on the beach just in case if its going to rain (I keep fingers cross that it’s not going to happen). I think it will look good on pictures too; no matter if it rains or not. And I plan to use this umbrella after wedding just like any other umbrella.

Umbrella great, Sword display, just above average.,

FINAL VERDICT
This is a great umbrella worth the price–a 10 out of 10, but the umbrella is not what you look into this product for. It is the sword, so it sadly reduces the rating. But since you get both it is very well worth the $21.
When it comes to reviewing an item like this you have to look at it three ways. As an Umbrella, as a sword, and as a whole.
UMBRELLA 10/10
STYLE
PROs great with no marks (as in logos, “made in” ect). Pitch black.
CONs the tip is aluminum to it may stick out color wise if you have no other silvery stuff with you. The handle is wood, a light brown. although I would not mind it any darker.
FUNCTION
PROs The deployment is its strongest point. It is a MANUAL Umbrella, but it has a spring loaded design so that it stays open or closed on its own. You only really have to manually open/close it half way and the springs to the rest. Blocks rain like any other umbrella, and it’s material is thick & dark enough for you to block the sun without it being see through. The U-handle is as useful as always. It also is very wide, so sharing is fine.
CONs the only downside is the bulky-ness. This is not the type you would keep in your car for emergency.
DURABILITY
PROs The main shaft (sheath) is a thick one(1)inch diameter hollow aluminum tube, and the tip is part of the main-shaft reinforced with more aluminum. So this will not be breaking anytime soon.
CONs The parts that hold up the octagonal rain-blocking material is made much like other umbrellas. And the handle feels a bit brittle.
OTHER
PROs I sometimes use this umbrella as a dance prop. Its durability makes it able to take impacts when tapping the floor. So use it to press elevator or cross walk buttons without worry. AS advertised, it is strong and reliable.
CONs None
SWORD 6/10 (10 is a handcrafted masterpiece, 1 is a child’s toy, 5 is an average sword one would see: ie: display)
Lets be honest. This is what makes the product interesting.
SHARPNESS
PROs its tip is pointy enough to kill (what swords are meant to do).
CONs everywhere else is dull enough for you to hold onto it bare.
DESIGN
PROs It is indeed concealed well. Most people will not even notice that you taking it out (more on that later).
CONs blade made of Stainless steal. Hilt (part exposed from umbrella but attached to handle) is Stainless steel. Handle is made of wood (I know it is not oak or bamboo, so its made of something more weak). Tang is up to the Hilt. Hilt is attached to the handle. Making it easily breakable. The blade itself is not straight along either the broad nor sharpened side.
OTHER
PROs I guess this is a pro It’s exactly what I expected out of the sword assembly.
CONs Made in China is shown on the blade as “China”
WHOLE 6.5/10 ==> 3/5
SERVICE
PROs Expected arrival date.
CONs Shipped in a large rectangular box, inside was the white box as advertised, inside that was the Umbrella/sword wrapped in plastic. NO packaging material for its protection. You might risk breaking it in transit. WORST of all: the handle was not even attached to the umbrella at all. It was just put into the “hilt” loose. I had to use my own contact cement to glue them together. On top of that I had to cut a hole in the handle to let the air out while gluing the pieces.
UMBRELLA + SWORD
PROs The means to separate the parts is an old fashion leftee-loosee-rightee-tightee(a pro and a con). This means that it prevents any accidental unsheathing. When unscrewing it, bystanders do not notice the fact the handle is turning and the umbrella is not or vise versa.
CONs leftee-loosee-rightee-tightee This makes it also a hassle to unsheathe. With the umbrella closed tied shut, it is easier to open it by holing the tip of the umbrella and the handle, so you do not damage the umbrella parts. When closed (not tied) or open, the parts are much easier to separate. In the event of self defense, this also makes less reliable. The amount of effort to unscrewing it also seems strange. 1/3 the way through taking it off, it becomes harder to turn then suddenly easier. It happens again at 2/3.
COMPARISONS
There is only one other product on Amazon that is a sword an umbrella that I found, but this one is the only one that was able to ship to me. So the service is already better, but as for the product itself, I have no comparison. Price though is only about a $5 to $10 difference. Another company sells this same product, so services might be different.
OTHER
The product as a whole is expectantly heavier than other umbrellas
FINAL COMMENTS
I think the sword and umbrella parts were designed by the same person, but they were made by two different people using the same designs. The umbrella is a work of…
