Viridian Dao - 100cm

You glare into the darkness, although you can see only what your torch illuminates. You have traveled so far and overcome great challenges and dangerous monsters only to be lost now in the depths of the earth. Somewhere in these tunnels rests the legendary Viridian Dao.

You begin to wonder if the journey was all for nothing, that you will perish inside these dark halls, when you remember some advice you once received. ‘Your will is your strongest asset,’ the elder had said. With this in mind, you begin to call for the sword...and you feel its presence.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Viridian Dao 100 cm is a latex-hybrid weapon inspired by the ‘General of Weapons’ – a curved sword traditional in Chinese culture. It features a single-edged blade bursting with green, glowing power. The blade is slightly curved with a fake-edge meant to improve its piercing effectiveness, and attaches to the beautifully detailed polyurethane handle. This handle is shaped and painted to look like carved jade and steel with a ring shaped jade-coloured pommel, matching the overall intricate design.

While Asian-inspired, the Viridian Dao also features a high-fantasy look that can be used in alternative settings. Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.
