Samurai Sword Umbrella

If walking in the rain doesn't excite you anymore then maybe invigorate the wet n wild experience by using one of these samurai sword brolleys.
Available from Think Geek for 29 USD. Think Geek also have a Light Saber type brolley too.




Speaking of Light Sabers - clip from henshintv, dannychoo and kotobukiya below. An interview with some Star Wars fans at the Comiket.

Ooo, I literally just got my new katana today in the mail! This looks good for if you're in a busy city at night and its raining and you take a lot of allies on the way home.
The blade also looks like it is very slim. I wonder if its really a weapon or just for collection.

Oh, didn't know such things existed. Then again, it was only a matter of time before someone thought it up. Kinda want one now.

I have one of those too, but I have yet to actually use it: too big the briefcase, and never on hand when I need one. (^ω^)

I don't know, I prefer the small umbrellas since they're more compact. Besides they might not let you carry into certain places in case it scares other people.

Granted, it is a bit lame, but it is sure to get interesting looks, even just sticking out of the umbrella stand.
Or course, having an actual katana sticking out of the umbrella stand is more likely to get those looks... ( ̄▽ ̄)

Seems like that umbrella would run the risk of having some encounters with security if you're not careful. =P

I have to honestly say that is pretty awesome, and should be a get for the samurai otaku archetype. Also reminds me of the Gundam saber-type toy I had seen in Little Tokyo yesterday (I missed out on meeting this one girl while I was at the store, though *sobs*).
As for me, I want a Keroro Gunso umbrella. Namely one of Keroro, but might be okay with Giroro as well. :3

Prolly would get pulled over by cops to check if it was a concealed weapon...but it'd be good to keep would be muggers second guessing...

I would like one but I'm afraid my school might mistaken it for a real sword. And then I'll get called in for bringing a "weapon" ._.

unfortunately it's too long to carry around everyday, like the small umbrella that fits anywhere. Nice concept through.

Careful, you might pull out your umbrella instead of your sword.

Yup, saw this yesterday on Gizmodo. Was seriously considering getting one, but I decided to save my money rather than get stopped by campus security the whole time. ^^; Honestly, ThinkGeek has the coolest merchandise.

That's kinda cool, but I can actually think of a practical use for an umbrella with a sheath if it was more than just a nylon cover...

That's a pretty creative way of designing an umbrella.
but it's still an umbrella. Anyways at least you'll have a better grip once you use it as a weapon against robbers~ :)

I can't say I'm much of an umbrella user - too bulky and impractical compared to a raincoat with a decent hood - but that one is pretty awesome.

Wow! Would not want to use that in Japan. Bet I wouldn't last two seconds, if I could even get outside the main gate, without a Japanese officer running out of his Koban after me.
