Holster Hook

Sick of your slimmer blades never staying in the frog?

Problem solved.

You wake from an awful nightmare. You were running into battle, eyeing what had to be 1000 undead advancing toward you and your fellow soldiers...but as you reached for your sword, you found that it was missing!

Phew. Thankfully it was just a dream. You have a Holster Hook, after all. Your sword is always safely in your sword belt.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Brown Holster Hook is a clever tool that keeps your latex sword from falling through your weapon holder. There are several of our weapons--like our orc and elven swords--that are designed without crossguards. This design can make it difficult to stay in your sword holder, or frog, and so we’ve created the Holster Hook as a simple solution. Simply tie the Holster Hook around your weapon’s grip, and you will find that it will now rest inside your holder like any normal sword without sacrificing the unique look of your weapon.

Made from brown durable leather and leather cord stitching, this hook is built to keep its shape and withstand the abuse of a LARP with regular leather care. With a neutral appearance, it will match almost any weapon. Pair it with one of our swords without a crossguard, or on a weapon that has a bad habit of freeing itself from your belt.

HISTORY

• A weapon holder is also referred to as a frog
• Crossguards weren’t necessarily used even on historical weapons--becoming more popular after 10th century Europe

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 Wakizashi. 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 Wakizashi’s edge. The sheet is cut cleanly, not a thread mismatched.

The blade is perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Katana is a high-quality latex longsword favoured by both deadly ninja assassins and samurai alike. The 85 cm straight blade is single-edged, handpainted to look like real metal. A small oval crossguard protects the 20 cm handle, which is bound in menuki-style using durable 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 tanto or wakizashi by samurai to display social power and personal honor

In the hushed corridors of the Arcanum, a young mage named Elara cradled her wand, a slender masterpiece of willow, bound to her essence. It was her first summoning, a rite that would mark her ascension from apprentice to mystic. With the wand secure in her holster, its familiar weight against her side was a silent reminder of her journey from the eager student to the brink of mastery. She stepped into the summoning circle, the air crackling with anticipatory magic. Her thoughts were a whirlwind of incantations learned and the comforting touch of the wand's handle through the holster's protective embrace. It was a part of her, an extension of her will and a conduit for her burgeoning power.

Even the mightiest of magicians need to protect their wand of choice. Made from faux leather the Wand Shoulder Holster is of a durable, yet stylish look, making it a perfect addition to any witch or wizard's outfit. This sheath features adjustable straps for a tailored fit and a lace system for height preference. A secondary strap affixes it to your belt, ensuring stability. Ideal for accessible or concealed wand storage. While the Wand Shoulder Holster is designed to fit the marvellous wands from Epic Armoury, like the Enchanter Wand if you seek ancient knowledge or the Necromancer Wand when you just want skeletons dancing on their own grave.
