There is a measure of confidence a lord must carry with him when preparing his troops for battle. For you, that confidence is found the moment you hold your Claymore. Specially made to reflect your Scottish roots, it reminds you of the nation you are responsible to protect.

Your men have come to see your weapon as a symbol of power. When you raise it high into the air, they let forth a cheer of the same confidence you feel down into your bones. You will fight well today. You will win glory for your home and your people.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Claymore is an impressive 140 cm two-handed sword with great parrying qualities and a lot of personality. The 90 cm double-edged blade attaches to a large v-shaped crossguard, designed to lock an enemy’s blade and to protect your hands. The 32 cm ergonomic handle is wrapped in split-leather and can be used two-handed or one-handed in close quarters. At the end is a coreless pommel that matches the crossguard.

Match this Claymore with a buckler tied to the arm and a kilt to fit the part of a Scottish warrior, or use this sword to intimidate your enemies on the field as your own unique character. 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 battlefield kit.

Available in Gold, Silver, and Copper.

MAINTENANCE

All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the LARP Accessories section. Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using Maintenance Silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.

Store your latex weapons flat or on its pommel--NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapons in a cool, dry environment.

Let us speak plainly. You are one of the most intimidating warriors anyone has ever seen. When you stride up on your horse and join the fray of war, the soldiers part to give you room.

Perhaps it is simply the impressive armour you wear, or maybe it's the bloody giant sword strapped across your back that you have very few issues unsheathing.

The Epic Armoury Sky Hook is suitable for swords with a blade up to 5.5cm in width, and with a length between 75cm and 160cm (dependant on height of the bearer), with standard crossguard hilts.

Coming Summer 2017!

Your Nodachi was handed to you by your master, many years ago. It had been a bittersweet moment for you, because while it meant you had overcome all obstacles in your training, it also meant that it was time to set out on your own.

You find the handle comforting, your hand finding its usual well-worn grip. As a traveling samurai--a ronin--your sword is your only consistent companion.

You look beyond the campfire where a fresh fish now cooks, sizzling in the heat, looking to the flickering shadows along the treeline. You have the sense that tonight you and your sword may once again be tested as you hear the unmistakable snap of a twig, your grip on its handle tightening in anticipation.

Almost all LARP weapons are made from a foam that is then covered in a plasticised acrylic-latex paint. If not maintained, this paint eventually dries out and can flake or crack. To avoid, a silicon outer coat is applied to all weapons but is slowly worn off as the weapon strikes other weapons, shields and armour. Maintenance spray ensures your weapons are kept in the best condition possible by reinforcing this silicon layer and keeping the PAX paint underneath it moist and supple.
It should be applied after every combat, or at least once a month.

Available in 150ml or 400ml spray packs, and a 250ml pump pack.
