Musketeer Baldric

They have a cunning plan regarding the Spanish, m'lord!

The sword sits in the Musketeer Baldric hanging down from your shoulder, faithful to its master despite the challenges. It has been a long and dusty road, but that sword has remained at your side through it all.

As your infantry unit comes to a halt, there is the tension one always feels before the fight. You resist the anxiety, because the moment you step into battle all of that must fade away. It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Musketeer Baldric offers more support than a standard waist belt as a way to carry your weapons. Using soft, but sturdy, suede leather, this baldric is both comfortable and durable. The belt strap is secured using a brass buckle painted to look weathered, while the scabbard is adjusted using leather ties and can be switched to either the right-hand or left-hand side. Almost any outfit will benefit from this authentic looking weapon holder, and at only 34.46 oz., it won’t burden your kit with unnecessary weight!

Available in Brown and Black. One size fits all.

HISTORY

• Originally used since ancient Roman times
• Worn by soldiers, including musketeers of early modern armies

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

• A popularized method of carrying weapons thanks to videogames and movies
