Kunai

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, hiding and waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your Kunai, 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 Kunai hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury throwing weapon is the latest entry in Epic Armoury’s range of Japanese inspired weapons. The Kunai is 19 cm long with a short 8 cm leaf-shaped blade. The handle is 8 cm long and very narrow, made of ribbed latex and foam that allows for a solid grip. The handle ends in a ringed-pommel that can be used to attach the Kunai to a belt. The weapon is well-balanced, making it easy to aim.

Though Japanese in style, the Kunai is low-fantasy enough to be used in numerous settings without breaking overall style and feel of a character’s costume. Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that the Kunai will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.
