Double Back Scabbard - Suede

Let us speak plainly. You are one of the most intimidating warriors anyone has ever seen. When you stride up on your horse and join the fray of war, the soldiers part to give you room.

Perhaps it is simply the impressive armour you wear, your great sword secured on your back in a Sky Hook. Perhaps the air of legend around you is only due to inflated rumor. But, between us? You also have formidable skill, and for that your reputation is well founded.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Sky Hook offers an alternate method of carrying your weapon, providing more support than a standard waist belt. Using full-grain brown leather, this specialized baldric is designed to strap around the torso, and is both durable and attractive. The leather straps are secured across the chest in an X-design, while the scabbard itself sits at a diagonal across the back. Slide your sword or large axe through the holder, resting its tip inside the chape and its crossguard (or axe head) inside the two hooks. This design allows for easy placement and removal of your weapon quickly, while also keeping the scabbard in place while you fight.

Almost any outfit will benefit from this clever weapon holder, especially if you desire an epic fantasy appearance. For those who are left-handed, the Sky Hook’s scabbard and belts can be untied and reversed so that your weapon will sit over your left shoulder instead of your right.

Available in Brown and Epic Black. One size fits all.

HISTORY

• The likelihood that historical fighters wore weapons on their back is disputed amongst historians, but there are theories suggesting that larger weapons were sometimes worn on the back by the Celts
• A popularized method of carrying weapons thanks to videogames and movies

Many of the humans believe that greatness comes from shining armour and flashing swords, but they don’t respect the smaller, more important pieces of gear that every adventurer needs. This is why you’ve bargained with the best unseelie fae craftsman on the Fae Plane to create this finely wrought, sturdy Epic Black Illumine Sword Holder.

It may not be as impressive as a flaming sword, or as grand as a set of armour, but this simple and sturdy frog will carry you through centuries of mischief.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Illumine Sword Holder is a beautifully crafted leather frog designed to keep your weapon conveniently close. This frog is open at both ends, and features beautiful vine embossing and a soft inner lining to prevent scratches on your elven sword or dagger.

Match this Illumine Sword Holder with any character you wish to equip--especially a sophisticated elf or noble--by securing the holder to your belt through the reversible belt loops. Made from black, vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather and stitched with durable thread around the edges, this weapon holder is built to keep its shape and withstand the abuse of a LARP with regular leather care.

The Illumine Sword Holder can be worn left- or right-handed by reversing the removable leather straps.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a frog

• Elves have been considered magical creatures with supernatural beauty, but this definition has varied throughout history

As an Adventurer, you never know who you might be working for or what beast you’ll be sent to dispatch next. There’s only one thing for certain: if there’s enough money or glory to be had, you’re the right person for the job.

Admittedly, when the farmer came running into town claiming his crops had been torched, you hadn’t anticipated a trap. By the time you realized that the farmer was luring you into a bandit ambush, they already had you captured. At least your Double Hanger kept your swords safe! Now, if you can just wiggle out of those ropes enough to grab a hilt…A bandit notices and takes your swords and your Double Hanger for himself.

You really need to rethink trusting farmers.

You are not a particularly cruel person, but you are also not the type of person who accepts defeat easily. You are willing to train harder and longer than your fellow soldiers, and you do not accept anything less than perfection from yourself.

Your armour and weapons are no exception. The Full Scabbard at your waist keeps your sword sharp and conveniently at your side, ready to once again prove your skills in battle.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Large Full Scabbard is a long leather scabbard designed to protect your weapon from the elements, while keeping it conveniently close. This 87 cm scabbard will accommodate a weapon up to 6 cm wide. Soft polyester-wool padding has been added to the inside of the hoop to protect your weapon, while also making it easy to withdraw from the scabbard.

Match this Large Full Scabbard with any character you wish to equip by securing the holder to your belt through the belt straps. One strap is longer than the other, so the scabbard will sit on the belt at a comfortable angle. Made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather and a hardened leather tip to prevent damage to your weapon, this weapon holder is built to keep its shape and withstand the abuse of a LARP with regular leather care.

HISTORY

• Historically made from a variety of materials, including leather, wood, and metal

So, you decide to give the ol’ sap a visit. Removing your weapon from your Rogue Swordholder, you prepare your most intimidating look. You don’t expect this meeting to last very long. You’ll get your money today or the chap will be missing a few pints of blood. You’ll let him decide.
