Epic Armoury Hybrid - Ranger Sword - 42in - LARP

IMPORTANT - SYSTEM COMPATIBILITY

These 'Epic Armoury Hybrid' weapons have a pommel and crossguard made from polyurethane foam. They are more durable than standard foam and latex, but harder than traditional LARP weapons. The blade is still made from traditional soft foam and latex.

Please bear this in mind and check the safety rules for your LARP system carefully before purchasing. Returns will not be accepted for hybrid weapons that do not pass individual weapons check requirements. These do not pass safety at the Lorien Trust, Curious Pastimes or Profound Decisions events.

However, they are still excellent for cosplay, theatrical and film purposes and any LARP that does not require soft foam on the pommel.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ranger Sword is a long latex-hybrid sword inspired by medieval weapons and fantasy lore alike. The sword is 105 cm long and has a 80 cm blade. The crossguard features an intricate curved design that protects a leather-like grip. This grip, wide by the crossguard and narrow toward the golden “scent stopper” pommel, is ergonomic in your hand.

Whether you are an elven scout or a rugged ranger, this Ranger Sword is one of our highest quality products due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

HISTORY

• Commonly referred to as a “broadsword,” which is actually a historically incorrect term
• Inspired by the two-handed longsword of the late medieval and Renaissance era, but with a slightly shorter blade
• The pommel design is called a “scent stopper” design, popular in the 16th century

MAINTENANCE

Read our 'LARP Weapon Maintenance' article HERE!

All latex-coated weapons need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the 'Weapon Maintenance & Repair' section.

'Larp Inn Weapon Lube - Silicone Spray' is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using 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.
