Epic Armoury Hybrid - Medium Elven Sword - 34in - LARP

IMPORTANT - SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY

These 'Epic Armoury Hybrid' weapons have a pommel and crossguard made from polyurethane foam. They are more durable than standard foam and latex, but harder than traditional LARP weapons. The blade is still made from traditional soft foam and latex.

Please bear this in mind and check the safety rules for your LARP system carefully before purchasing. Returns will not be accepted for hybrid weapons that do not pass individual weapons check requirements. These do not pass safety at the Lorien Trust, Curious Pastimes or Profound Decisions events.

However, they are still excellent for cosplay, theatrical and film purposes and any LARP that does not require soft foam on the pommel.

DETAILS

The sword is 85 cm long from tip to pommel, with a gently curved 60 cm single-edged blade. The detailed crossguard curls back over the blade and toward the handle, shielding and protecting the hand.

The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance.

INSPIRATION

• Originally a creation of Germanic mythology and folklore
• Has been considered to be a magical creature with supernatural beauty, but this definition has varied throughout history
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century writings on the “Middle Earth Elf” has influenced how elves are seen today in the high-fantasy genre

MAINTENANCE

Read our 'LARP Weapon Maintenance' article HERE!

All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the 'Weapon Maintenance & Repair' section.

'Larp Inn Weapon Lube - Silicone Spray' is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.

Store your latex weapons flat or on its pommel - NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapons in a cool, dry environment.
