The Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrella (Standard Model - Crooked Handle) Our Unbreakable® Umbrellas are handcrafted from highest quality materials and perform in rain and wind just like the highest quality rain umbrellas.

Thomas Kurz with his Unbreakable® Umbrella on an airplane. Whenever he travels he takes it with him and he has never had anyone question him about it. The Unbreakable® Umbrella works just as well as a very sturdy walking stick or cane but does not make you look funny or feel awkward. This umbrella protects against rain and everything else…. Whacks just as strong as a steel pipe but it weighs only 1 lb. and 9.8 oz. (730 g). Legal to carry everywhere Never raises suspicions Does not make you look silly (no strange looks if carried by an able-bodied person) Our Unbreakable® Umbrella has no unusual parts, no more metal than an average umbrella, it does not arouse suspicion, can be carried legally everywhere where any weapons are prohibited, unlike a walking stick it does not cause strange looks if carried by an able-bodied person, and it does protect from rain (it is covered in state-of-the-art waterproof fabric). Anyone who can use a stick for defense can use this umbrella. Do you know how to swing a baseball bat? Do you know how to strike with a sturdy stick? If you do, you know all you need to know… Do you practice such martial arts as hapkido, jodo, kendo, kali, escrima, le baton or la canne? Do you practice with Chinese weapons or Indian weapons? Then you know even more… and you can truly appreciate this Unbreakable® Umbrella. Each umbrella comes with a fabric sleeve/sheath.

Unbreakable® Walking-Stick Umbrella Standard frames are warranted not to break under normal use (no throwing them under a heavy truck or a train, no chopping with an axe, no banging with a hammer, no throwing into a wood chipper, no setting on fire, or subjecting to other abuses). This warranty does not cover damage caused by abuse or accident (such as throwing them under a train or a bulldozer, and subjecting to other similar unreasonable stresses), nor does it cover fabric. Any alteration of the Unbreakable® Umbrella will void our warranty. Should the frame of this umbrella break under normal use (whatever is normal for the strongest walking stick, and an umbrella, of course), please contact the seller (Real Self-Defense LLC or another authorized seller of the Unbreakable® Umbrella from whom you have purchased it), provide a photo of the defect (not larger than 640×480, 72dpi), and we will arrange a repair or replacement at our discretion. Please make sure you have your original sales receipt. Our warranty doesn't cover fabric damage (unless the fabric is defective) because even the highest quality umbrella fabric cannot be guaranteed to withstand abrasive forces occurring at hard impact between wiring of the frame and the stricken object. Our Unbreakable® Umbrella is for defending against elements (in every meaning of the word) and not for clowning. It is covered in a high-quality waterproof fabric, not in abrasion proof or slash proof fabric, because it has to look, weigh, and work like a normal umbrella, so do not expect this fabric to be undamaged if you hit heavy bags, baseball bats, and such things with it. Media Appearances MSN Tech&Gadgets "This could be the only brolly you ever need. Not only is it strong enough to support the weight of a fully-grown man, it can also be used as a self-defence weapon. "When wielded with appropriate force it can strike with the power of a steel pipe, and has even become a weapon of choice for the personal security guards of the president of the Philippines. It will keep the rain off, too."-MSN Tech&Gadgets, February 1, 2011. "A peculiar mix of genteel elegance and chilling weaponry" - GIZMAG Emerging Technology MAGAZINE October 10, 2010 issue.

Testimonials (Our Customers Tell You About The Unbreakable Walking-Stick Umbrella) "I would like to take a moment to tell you how happy I am with my new umbrella. Having been a martial artist for over 30 years I have always wished to find a umbrella that could stand the strain of being used in a true self-defense situation. Your umbrella has answered that call and more! Thank you very much." Sifu Curtis Hendricks Springfield, Missouri "I was asked to test the Unbreakable Umbrella and did so with every intention of destroying it. It stood up to every kind of usage I could devise. My testing leads me to believe the Unbreakable Umbrella lives up to its name, and is indeed Unbreakable." Dave McNeill Soke Goju-Shorei Systems "The umbrella is great! I love the way that it opens up (very smooth) and it's very light yet feels solid. I feel the umbrella would be good in an encounter with more than one attacker or possible protection against a knife, hopefully never have to use it for that! I haven't tried it in the rain. I certainly feel safe walking around with it." Guy Guneri London, United Kingdom "I prefer the straight-ended version rather than the curved handle 'normal' type. I like to be able to deliver a direct butt smash to the face, but I suppose the curved handle type looks more 'innocent'. A matter of personal preference really. All types are effective for practical personal protection."
