Alluvium Dao - 100cm

You glare down at your reflection, gazing into the still waters of the lake. You have traveled so far and overcome great challenges and dangerous monsters only to be thwarted by water. There, somewhere far below its surface and beyond your reach, rests the legendary Alluvium Dao.

You begin to wonder if the journey was all for nothing, 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 something below shift.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Alluvium 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 blue, 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 blue handle is shaped to look like carved stone and steel with a ring shaped pommel, matching the overall intricate design.

While Asian-inspired, the Alluvium 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.
