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

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Beer Mug onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Beer Mug with Metal Bands is a throwing weapon handy for impromptu fights against other midnight boozers. The beer mug is cylindrical, standing 20 cm tall with a 18 cm diameter. The mug is carved with a wood texture and coloured brown to resemble the staves of a cask, rimmed with riveted metal-hoops. The hoops connect to the metal-coloured handle which is 8 cm deep, leaving plenty of room for grip. The inside is coloured black, mimicking a dark wax typically found on the inside of wooden mugs.

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Beermug will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Also called a “tankard,” which originally referred to any wooden drinking vessel
• Similar to the earliest form of a tankard, which did not have a lid and resembled a barrel
• Earliest form has been found from as far back as 2000 years ago

You tighten your Ring Belt another notch, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

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?
