The umbrella gets an interesting redesign in the form of a katana shaped handle, complete with a sheath-style carrying case (or saya if you must).
It can had for a mere $30 at ThinkGeek. Carrying it in certain municipalities may result in being shot out of hand by police, and users should be reminded it is unlikely to much use in an actual duel.

shame the fabric isn’t kevlar just to up the cool factor a bit more
In some states in the US you are actually quite capable in walking around in public with a weapon so long as it is exposed. Check your local laws of course before you walk around with any weapon or imitation item.
Texas allows it as long as you have it visible and in a strapped holster. However nobody’s opted for a sword over the usual six shooter.
Oh! btw..
Adds: ..in the USA for carrying an umbrella xP
I can see it allready..
