Knirps umbrella

[BrianTN]

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a Knirps Topmatic SL umbrella with a wooden crook handle. I can only find the plastic handle version in the US. I'd prefer not to spend a fortune in shipping costs.

This is the one:

Not sure where you are located but this shop seems to have the wooden one, they are located in NYC

Thanx for the info...I'm in need of a 'quaility' umbrella like the Knirps Topmatic SL and will look where I can get one in central Virginia.

Thanks!

To me, the crook handle doesn't make much sense on a short/compact umbrella. I thought it was to approximate a walking cane, which you couldn't do with a compact. Is there another use for the crook?

I have a crook handle umbrella (not a Knirps). I hang it over my arm when I'm using the subway or riding in the elevator, etc. I could see how, even compact, the crook would come in "handy."

DeusVult:
The crook handle can conveniently hook over your arm or table edge when not in use. Also, I find other small smooth / straight handle umbrellas are hard to hold on to and manipulate during forceful inclement weather conditions.

Knirps for moisture.
