Last year we brought you news of the Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella, but for those of you who prefer the tales of the knights of the round table instead of Samurais and Feudal Japan, there’s now a more appropriate option for you. The Broadsword Handle Umbrella will work just as well as its Samurai counterpart, but as the name implies, the handle is designed to look considerably more medieval.
The two-handed handle is made from injection molded plastic with a metal-like finish, and is wrapped with a “leatherette” grip. It opens with a simple push of a button, and it even comes with its own carrying case/scabbard complete with a shoulder strap. But you don’t have to worry about hunting down the lady of the lake to find one, you can just head over to ThinkGeek once again where it’s available for just $39.99.
Thinkgeek is awesome like that. I like it, but i think it could have been done up more. Maybe the umbrella shaft could have been silver and flattened a bit. More swords like.
I agree. The actual umbrella could have been designed a little better to make the illusion more real.
