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

PLEASE NOTE: Unless your local game specifically allows hand to hand combat these are for appearance only and should NOT be used for direct physical contact.

The vast wastelands are dangerous, and so you are armed to the teeth. Guns, knives, and even a chainsaw are kept handy should the specific need arise to use them. Your favourite, however, is your Knuckleduster.

The little piece of metal fits so perfectly in your hand that it goes undetected. It’s a dangerous secret you keep from your enemies, and the reason you will survive while others might not.

DETAILS

Dark Moon’s Knuckleduster is a realistic looking knuckle duster designed to be used as a throwing weapon in a post-apocalyptic world. The Knuckleduster is sculpted and handpainted to look like heavy metal and leather, and its 14 cm width fits great in your hand. The grip is created by two large holes, each designed to slide your fingers through.

It is not advised to use this weapon for hand-to-hand combat. Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Knuckleduster will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your LARP kit.

HISTORY

• Knuckledusters are designed to create more damage when punching
• A form of knuckle style weapon has been around since ancient times
• By the late 19th century, knuckledusters became incorporated into firearms

Oh no, you think, as a sword and a helmet are thrust into your farm-calloused hands. You’ve never been trained as a soldier, let alone asked to fight on a dangerous battlefield!

But here you are, suddenly standing in a row of your neighbors. You await the advancing orc raid said to be headed for your farms and your town, and you just hope that somehow you’ll make it through. At least your Helmet feels solid on your head. That’s something to be thankful for, at least...right?
