Elven Short Sword - 60 cm

Your elven ears hear the rustle of footsteps behind you. A smile crosses your delicate lips as you realize a stranger is attempting to sneak up on someone as lithe and alert as you. You are the kindred of the immortals, having honed your skills for hundreds of years. No normal mortal being can surprise you.

“Come out of hiding,” you call over your shoulder. “I know you are there.”

As you hear the ‘thwap!’ of an archer’s bow, you spin and dodge the incoming arrow, unsheathing your Elven Short Sword in one fluid motion. The fight has begun.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Elven Short Sword is a sleek curved blade with carved ornamentation. The sword is 60 cm long with a 40 m long single-edged and slightly curved blade. With a small round cross-guard above a 10 cm long oval-shaped handle, enjoy a comfortable and improved grip due to the additional split-leather wrap. The pommel is shaped to be as dangerous as the blade, with additional matching ornamentation.

The Elven Short Sword is distinctly elven in style, and is easily compatible with Epic Armoury's other elven range of blades, bows, armour and clothes. 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 elf-inspired kit.

INSPIRATION

• Originally a creation of Germanic mythology and folklore
• Has been considered to be a magical creature with supernatural beauty, but this definition has varied throughout history
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century writings on the “Middle Earth Elf” has influenced how elves are seen today in the high-fantasy genre

• Strong latex coating with a round fibreglass core
• Strong Kevlar core tip protection
• Made from durable closed cell foam that does not shred
• High safety, approved by the top organizations

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.
