Has anybody been able to try this out personally? I thought it looked good but i dont know how gimmicky it might be. i mean just cause the guy can stand on it without breaking doesnt mean its a good striking tool.
In my zest I forgot this

They have been kind enough to supply me with a sample and I will be testing it soon. If I like it and if we come to terms on price, we will carry it here in our catalog.

Cool. Thank you very much.

Any reviews or new thoughts on this umbrella? It rains a lot here in Oregon and I needed a full-length umbrella, so I took the plunge and bought one.
I don't have any skills with a stick yet, but hope to seek out a decent instructor or school to learn.

I have given a session on the heavy bag with full power baseball bat swings as part of the mix and it seems to both deliver power and hold up well-- certainly enough to last the first SD application :wink:
I'll be looking into price to us from the maker-- we may well wind up carrying this.

Thanks, wish I lived closer to Hermosa Beach!

People here in Seattle should be going crazy for this! It's drizzling as I write this. Unfortunately, the frightened political climate is such that even my baby (under 2" blade) gerber work knife gets horrified looks now and then! My job sometimes entails middle-of-the-rainy-night out calls to apartment complexes and hotels in the heart of the city. This umbrella, coupled with my surefire nitrolon (plastic) flashlight would be great used in tandem. I think I'll wait to see if these Dogs make it available before I order one for next year's rainy season.

It's almost always rainy season in Oregon, so I went ahead and got one of these ubrellas because I needed one anyway. Very solid feeling and better looking than on the website. Though designed as a swinging weapon, the brushed steel tip would not be enjoyable getting poked with.
This is a very nice umbrella.

Somebody should make a movie in which Mary Poppins carries one of these in case she runs out of ammo for her fancy custom 1911 pistol.
