City Safe Security Umbrella - Self Defense Umbrella with Suspicious Protection & Beautiful Handmade German Round Wood Handle - Perfect for Urban Commuting, Night Walks & Personal Safety

My previous one, manufactured by the unbreakable umbrella brand (made in Poland) was of extremely good quality, and only the umbrella fabric around it's skeletal hinges started to wear away after over 10 years of very constant use, thus I was using duct tape to repair that issue. And while that brand's price had only risen by $10 in over a decade ($140, when I bought it in 2007), this new one (manufactured by a German company was a good bit less expensive. So far it seems to be of the same good sturdy quality, and above all it really is the one self defense tool that I can take anywhere and not risk trouble with the law; as it is a very functioning umbrella, and for anyone like myself who has had training in martial arts that utilized the cane, walking stick, or even Hanbõ or Jõ (3ft or 4ft staff), this Security Umbrella can be used in the sameTwo pros of this product over the other (not counting the difference in price) is the carrying case for it is more versatile and allows for a shoulder or over the back carry when not in use, and the circumference inside the hook handle is more acute, which would allow for a greater grip if it was used in certain joint locking motions. So, so far a very worthwhile purchase.
