Samurai Umbrella
A new handle on an old problem
Way of the Umbrella
Ideal for ninjas, noble warriors and anyone who’s OD’d on badly-dubbed kung fu movies, this elegant nylon brolly features a realistic samurai sword-style handle, so you can protect yourself from the wrath of Kuraokami (that’s the Japanese rain god, stupid) without looking like a dorkish ‘nana.

With all the great weather we enjoy here in Blighty (ha-flippin’-ha), a decent umbrella is essential. Ergo, one that looks like an ancient weapon is an absolute must. So get ordering, but hurry: our highly renowned master supplier (now posing as a sushi chef) has taken a blood oath to construct and dispatch each Samurai Umbrella only to those he deems worthy of its power.* Sayonara!
*We might have made that up. Actually we did.

I had this umbrella for a couple of months and it did it's job and attracted a lot of attention. But, I got stopped by the police and they confiscated it :(. Tried to get it back but they wouldn't...
So, great product but watch out for thieving officers.Mirza, London - 8th January 2012
I am really interested in buying this item as I wish to show off my samurai prowess. A true Shogun master seeks only the finests products and upon reading some reviews I have seen a few people have had minor defects. (Only a small minority, must have had the batch made by the apprentice) If I purchase this weapon, and while in combat with the elements my weapon breaks, bends or goes inside out, would your master smith repair / replace my weapon? (And Is the pole quite strong as samurai need sturdy weapons, especially in dangerously high rain areas like England).Gollumbells, East Anglia - England, Planet Earth, The Solar System. - 3rd December 2011
Firebox says: Hi there! A true Shogun master deserves the finest products indeed, as well as a 30 day no-quibble money-back guarantee! In the unlikely event that your Umbrella breaks outside of this period, we have a 1 year warranty on all of our products, so we would happily replace it (stock permitting). The pole is pretty strong but that doesn't mean you can go around trying to slice melons or blocks of wood in half!
I received the full-sized as a gift from my brother after much prompting on my part before Christmas. Suffice to say this is one of the best and most practical products I have received off Firebox. I highly enjoyed the multiple stops by teachers when walking through school corridors and still revel in every opportunity to whip it out in rain to the dismay of unsuspecting passers-by. One problem with the holder is that it eventually breaks open at the bottom with use, but it can easily be fixed to great effect by turning it inside out at running a strong-stitch sewing machine across the bottom. A superb product that could be made better with a stronger stitched holder.James Bradwell, Wiltshire - 1st September 2011
Firebox says: Thanks for the great review James, and for the helpful advice for the cover.
Bought the compact version. It definitely LOOKS the part and it will impress people. In terms of practical use though, if you take it out in any kind of wind then you're basically screwed. It's designed with a thin and loose pole so that if the wind blows the material inside out then it can be easily fixed and won't break it. We had some odd weather conditions in Glasgow a few weeks ago though, it was sunny and I went for my lunch when a light rain started all of a sudden. I took out the umbrella and then 5 minutes later got caught with a strong gust of wind which not only turned it inside out but also bent the pole to almost a 90 degree angle. So there you go, £20 down the drain. It looks awesome but is built flimsy and almost completely useless in anything but light conditions.Garry MacDonald, Glasgow - 13th June 2011
Had my brolly delivered a day or two after ordering and thanks to the magnificent British summer, I've already had an opportunity to use it... Works as well as you'd expect, but with an added bonus: For 30 minutes of a 45 minute train journey the lady sitting opposite spent the entire time shifting uncomfortably and staring at the handle, clearly assuming I'd snapped and had decided to lop my colleagues heads of. My new favourite accessory.Chris, Essex - 8th June 2011
Got this for my birthday after a brief look and thinking it was a joke sword / umbrella. When I got it I was disappointed to see it was a normal stem. Didn't look at the photos properly so that’s my problem. But I just want to say for the next one make the stem look like a blade (obviously thick and blunt/curvy so it can't be used). Then it will truly be epic. For now it’s a unique handle umbrella.Jake, Birmingahm - 18th February 2011
Just one question can it fit two people under, because I walk my girlfriend home at night and I'm usually the one who gets wet when its raining because the umbrella is too small.Lee, Wigan - 8th February 2011
Firebox says: You could snuggle two people under.
I just wanted to know, when purchasing the long samurai umbrella, how am I meant to know what is the size of the umbrella, I am looking for a fairly large size.Ak313, - 18th January 2011
Firebox says: The full length umbrella is 95cm long and 100cm in diameter.
My brother got me the full length Samurai Umbrella for Christmas, and it is excellent! The handle has great detail, and the umbrella it's self is very well made. Only thing that bothered me was the fabric case, as the bottom of it was split and there was a slight small hole. But don't let this put you off buying one, I was just unlucky. I have resolved the problem buy sewing the holes up. The umbrella looks freakin' awesome! :).Paul, Borehamwood - 10th January 2011
Firebox says: Glad you enjoy it Paul and good to see you using your Samurai skills to repair the goods, but if you send us an e-mail to info@firebox.com explaining the damage to the case we might be able to sort something out for you.
WOW! got this as an Xmas gift and its absolutely amazing!!!! the best gift i've ever gotten, amazing quality too boot! Can't stop grinning when I'm walking through the town with this on my back, not been stopped as of yet, anyone else had any problems with the police with this item? hehehe, can't wait to see their faces when they find out its an umbrella ^. ^Kiku, Devon - 4th January 2011
Firebox says: Glad you enjoy it Kiku, but we wouldn't recommend antagonising the police with it!
