Jimbuna · 01-07-16, 08:20 AM

Obviously not of the design you favour butthis is what I carry in the car with me and have only used twice in six years.

Ask the Bulgarians. Their umbrellas come with optional extras.

I think this thread is headed toward umbrella control:

Benefits:

Excellent long range, can strike weapons or weapons bearing arms, hands etc.
Can swing out wide extending with one arm or can be held close with two hands and thrusted
Can use to keep attacker away, enabling time to call for help
Can keep multiple attackers at bay, at least for some time
Can be used in stabbing/thrusting motion to strike with the tip
Can be used as impact weapon
Common benign item
Can be taken even on aircraft
Used for offence and defence/blocking
Can be carried in public places
VERY strong
There are lots of systems that teach stick fighting of similar lengths to the umbrella so you can gain proficiency
Can keep rain off you and a friend

Disadvantages:

Can be odd on bright sunny days
Some can feel awkward carrying around an umbrella
Can be cumbersome to carry around at first
Can be seen as 'uncool' http://www.amazon.com/Standard-Unbreakable-Umbrella-Walking-Self-Defense/dp/B00C2TI14E I know Steed will be looking into one of these in honor of his namesake!

Make way for the umbrella expert, right now I can offer a good range of umbrellas at good prices.

Sword umbrella

Camera umbrella

Knock out gas umbrella

Sturdy grip umbrella to knock weapons out of bad guys hands

Who needs guns knifes tanks atom bombs? You're classic 1960's Spy hero needs not these just a good solid umbrella.

Interested in the above? We also have multi function umbrellas all four in one super secret agent umbrella that comes in super Black or Gloss Black or Matt Black or just plain old Black.

When weaponized umbrellas are outlawed, only outlaws will have umbrellas...

Have you researched umbrella repair shops? There are a few here in the US.
If it is truly a great quality umbrella that has some history, it might be worth having it professionally repaired.
