First Crusader

Your squire buckles the straps of your custom-fit armour, adjusting it to be comfortable and snug over your gambeson. Then you are handed your piece-de-resistance: the First Crusader sword. You paid top coin for this sword, and you expect people will be impressed when they see how it shines on the battlefield.

Your blacksmith assured you that the First Crusader’s design was both effective and awe-inspiring, and you’re one to agree. You are a mighty warrior, indeed, to be the owner of such fine craftsmanship. A fitting symbol of your godly-given status.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s First Crusader Sword is a beautiful latex blade inspired by high-medieval longswords. The sword is 110 cm long, with a 80 cm double-edged blade with an excellent reach. The blade features a fuller, making the weapon lighter and stronger. The broad and richly decorated crossguard protects the 20 cm ergonomically-shaped handle, which is wrapped in split-leather and long enough to be used one- or two-handed. The pommel is handpainted and sculpted to match the crossguard.

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

• Inspired by swords used during the High-Medieval era, which has become a classic fantasy design
• A fuller, or the groove that runs the length of the blade, was added to weapons to lighten the blade while adding structural strength

"But knives just don't seem very," The Duke mulled over his choice of words "Honourable?"

The Lord Commander was prepared for this "True, your Grace, but we need a close quarters weapon. Something that can be used in narrow corridors of the Juice Vault!"

THE COURAGEOUS AND CHIVALROUS KNIGHT

As you are sworn to the code of Chivalry, you know, that a knight must at all times never be more than his arm's reach from his weapons. This Medieval two-edged dagger is perfect to fulfill that obligation. If for some reason you cannot acces your sword, the small and concealable Knightly Dagger is always ready to be called into action. Featuring a 28 cm blade, a curved crossguard and a kite-shaped brass pommel that protects the brown full grain leather handle, this weapon has an authentic medieval renaissance look. 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 authentic medieval kit.

HISTORY

• Chivalry was a code of conduct for knights involving duties such as military bravery, individual training, and service to others
• The term 'dagger' was replaced by 'knife' in the early Middle Ages and then reappeared in the 12th century as the 'knightly dagger'; a common weapon for civilian use in the late medieval period and the early renaissance period

This bestselling Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is used for maintenance of Live Action Role Playing foam weapons and equipment covered with latex and/or varnish.

Directions for use:

Latex equipment must be coated with a thin layer of silicone at all times. This prevents the surfaces from drying out, and will prolong the lifespan of your latex equipment. Always check your latex equipment before and after each use. Spray the silicone directly onto your latex product and work it into the entire surface (avoiding leather handles) either with a piece of cloth or using a flat hand. If necessary, wipe off any excess with a dry cotton cloth. Always store your latex equipment in a dry and dark place.
