Corsair Cutlass

The underdark is your domain. In the pitch blackness, the smell of damp earth all around, you wait with your raiding party. When night falls on the lands above, you will emerge.

The sun-lovers have come to fear you and the silence in which you strike. With your leather gear and Corsair Cutlass, you are able to maneuver in the shadows until your target is exactly where you want him. You are formidable. You are the assassin.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Corsair Cutlass is a single-edged blade with a handguard specially made for Dark Elf raiders. The sword is 95 cm long from tip to pommel, with a 65 cm blade. The blade curves slightly and is thicker toward the tip with a false edge on the reverse side to give it the chopping and piercing power necessary to dominate a bloody battlefield. The handguard gives it a stylish look, protecting the ergonomic grip of the split-leather wrapped handle.

The blade was designed for dark deeds, but is a great choice for anyone looking for an exotic-looking cutlass. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 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.
