Personally I'd limit it to bludgeoning damage. I've only ever seen one used as a weapon in Ranma 1/2 (which isn't exactly the most accurate of martial-arts shows) but the top of Ryoga's umbrella, which is the same style as the photo in the OP, is flat rather than a point.
You could probably have it function as either a weapon or a shield and use a swift action to switch between the two 'modes' but that's just off the top of my head.
