Tornado Shuriken

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, hiding and waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your Tornado Shuriken, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, the Shuriken hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's new Tornado Shuriken is a 10 cm diameter knife perfect for samurai and ninja alike. Featuring more detailing than previous throwing knives, the Tornado Shuriken appears more realistic thanks to the skilled hand painting and the iron blade textures. Easily hang your shuriken from your belt using the loop in the center, showing off your weapon while keeping it secure. With its low-fantasy style, match this throwing knife with most Epic Armoury products and characters. Use it as a weapon or neat prop--whatever fits your needs!

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this throwing knife will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• A traditional Japanese concealed weapon used for throwing
• Specifically a hira shuriken, or literally “flat sword hidden in user's hand”
• Used by samurai as a supplement to their arsenal, often used as a nuisance or distraction in battle
• Typically made out of expendable materials and items such as coins and tools

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness with the help of your Mempo, waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your throwing knives, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, you knife hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

Samurai Bracers

The best made blades are forged by the most skilled swordsmiths, the metal worked with such precision and care that the edge can cut through flesh so cleanly that a person might not even know they are dead.

You have commissioned a swordsmith to craft you a Tanto. Before he is paid you want to be certain it is a properly made blade, and so you conduct a test. You produce a silken sheet, allowing it to descend lightly onto the Tanto’s edge. The sheet is cut cleanly, not a thread mismatched.

The blade is perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Tanto is one of the smaller latex weapons in the Asian Universe collection. Inspired by a historical weapon of Japan, the Tanto goes perfectly with a samurai’s set of swords. The 26 cm is straight with a single-edge, meeting a small oval crossguard that protects the 10 cm handle wrapped in split-leather.

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 Asian-inspired kit.

HISTORY

• Traditionally used by samurai of feudal Japan
• Designed to be drawn from the sheath quickly to accommodate combat that required fast response times
• Paired with a katana or wakizashi by samurai to display social power and personal honor
