Single Bladed Axe

There are noblemen who favor the finesse of a fine sword. There are the peasants who favor the reach of a spear or pike. And then there are those, like you, who favor the sheer power of an axe.

The Single Bladed Axe is your weapon of death, cutting through entire enemy lines with a single swing. Let the knights keep their swords. You will be glad to prove your metal against theirs any time of day.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Single Bladed Axe is designed to be a practical weapon, versatile across your many costumes. The axe features a 51 cm long, curved head heavily detailed with notches and scratches to look like it’s seen abuse on the battlefield. Sculpted and hand painted, the head appears attached to the staff with solid riveted steel plates. The staff, with its detailed wooden texture, having a long handle decorated to look wrapped in leather for extra grip.

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.

HISTORY
