— November 12, 2010 — Art & Design
A little chivalry can go a long way to make a dreary day a better one and the Knight’s Sword Handle Umbrella makes the battle a stylish one. The deceptively dangerous rain protector can be worn at the beltline for the look of a classic rainy knight, or on the back for a more intimidating and battle-ready appearance.

No meteorological challenge is too much when you’re equipped with the Knight’s Sword Handle Umbrella. It is up to the dampening task whether that task be an irritating drizzle or a dangerous downpour.
