I bought this case to carry a few Escrima sticks over my shoulder, as the description of the item implied. I figured this is a much more natural way to handle carrying the somewhat unwieldly weapons. Unfortunately, I only found out after I had purchased the item and it arrived at my front door that the ''adjustable shoulder strap'' from the description was actually for an older version of this item. The one I purchased ending up being the newer, cheapie handle version with a pink liner (as opposed to the nice red you see in the photo). I partially blame the depot for not updating their site, which they owned up to once I complained. However, the thing does carries sticks, so I guess that's all we can ask. I question the ''deluxe'' label, but we can't have it all I guess.
