Double Hanger (Hip Version)

As an Adventurer, you never know who you might be working for or what beast you’ll be sent to dispatch next. There’s only one thing for certain: if there’s enough money or glory to be had, you’re the right person for the job.

Admittedly, when the farmer came running into town claiming his crops had been torched, you hadn’t anticipated a trap. By the time you realized that the farmer was luring you into a bandit ambush, they already had you captured. At least your Double Hanger kept your swords safe! Now, if you can just wiggle out of those ropes enough to grab a hilt…A bandit notices and takes your swords and your Double Hanger for himself.

You really need to rethink trusting farmers.

Geoff crouched and waited together with a few other men. They’d been sent here to scout on the tax collector they knew would pass through the forest. He could feel his nerves flaring, like an angry cat arching its back and hissing, and calmed himself down by touching the smooth leather of his sword. It’d served his family well, and the groves carved by their hands were as familiar to him as his own hands and never failed to calm him down. And just in time. Here came the tax collector’s carriage.

Epic Armoury's Ranger Sword is part of the Vanguard line, and it takes its design cues from the knightly (or arming) swords of the Late Middle Ages in Europe. It has a curved crossguard to increase the ability to catch an opponent's weapon and potentially disarm them. The hilt is made from polyurethane and has a high degree of detailing, as it is sculpted to resemble a leather wrapper around the grip, with a slight amount of gold detailing to make it stand out visually. The hilt guarantees a great grip for the wielder. The blade is made from closed-cell polyurethane foam and coloured to look as lifelike as possible. Unlike most LARP weapons, the Vanguard line requires virtually no maintenance beyond checking for wear and tear in the form of cuts or breaks.

Let us speak plainly. You are one of the most intimidating warriors anyone has ever seen. When you stride up on your horse and join the fray of war, the soldiers part to give you room.

Perhaps it is simply the impressive armour you wear, your great sword secured on your back in a Sky Hook. Perhaps the air of legend around you is only due to inflated rumor. But, between us? You also have formidable skill, and for that your reputation is well founded.

The Epic Armoury Sky Hook is suitable for swords with a blade up to 5.5cm in width, and with a length between 75cm and 160cm (dependant on height of the bearer), with standard crossguard hilts.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Sky Hook offers an alternate method of carrying your weapon, providing more support than a standard waist belt. Using full-grain brown leather, this specialized baldric is designed to strap around the torso, and is both durable and attractive. The leather straps are secured across the chest in an X-design, while the scabbard itself sits at a diagonal across the back. Slide your sword or large axe through the holder, resting its tip inside the chape and its crossguard (or axe head) inside the two hooks. This design allows for easy placement and removal of your weapon quickly, while also keeping the scabbard in place while you fight.

Almost any outfit will benefit from this clever weapon holder, especially if you desire an epic fantasy appearance. For those who are left-handed, the Sky Hook’s scabbard and belts can be untied and reversed so that your weapon will sit over your left shoulder instead of your right.

HISTORY

• The likelihood that historical fighters wore weapons on their back is disputed amongst historians, but there are theories suggesting that larger weapons were sometimes worn on the back by the Celts
• A popularized method of carrying weapons thanks to videogames and movies

Many of the humans believe that greatness comes from shining armour and flashing swords, but they don’t respect the smaller, more important pieces of gear that every adventurer needs. This is why you’ve bargained with the best unseelie fae craftsman on the Fae Plane to create this finely wrought, sturdy Epic Black Illumine Sword Holder.

It may not be as impressive as a flaming sword, or as grand as a set of armour, but this simple and sturdy frog will carry you through centuries of mischief.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Illumine Sword Holder is a beautifully crafted leather frog designed to keep your weapon conveniently close. This frog is open at both ends, and features beautiful vine embossing and a soft inner lining to prevent scratches on your elven sword or dagger.

Match this Illumine Sword Holder with any character you wish to equip--especially a sophisticated elf or noble--by securing the holder to your belt through the reversible belt loops. Made from black, vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather and stitched with durable thread around the edges, this weapon holder is built to keep its shape and withstand the abuse of a LARP with regular leather care.

The Illumine Sword Holder can be worn left- or right-handed by reversing the removable leather straps.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a frog
• Historically used to hold the scabbard of an edged weapon vertically from the belt
• Elves were originally a creation of Germanic mythology and folklore
• Elves have been considered magical creatures with supernatural beauty, but this definition has varied throughout history

The sword belt "Louis" has an open blade sheath and is therefore suitable for all lengths of upholstered weapons. It is hand-sewn and made of thick, sturdy upper leather. The buckle is made of lightly blackened cast iron. Its rustic, simple character makes it suitable for many costumes. For adventurers, as well as for knights or soldiers, it is a detailed and functional accessory.

The harshness of battle will give you some perspective.

The double back sword hanger from Epic Armoury holds two separate, adjustable leather sheaths and can be easy mounted over armor. Made from a thick vegetable tanned leather, this back scabbard can fit almost any type of straight-edged Larp sword due to the series of buckles on each frog. A long winding belt, embellished with embossing, serves as a harness that allows the warrior to fit it on the back or at the hip. This dual-weapon sword frog will endure hash combat and is lined with soft suede leather to protect your weapons against abrasion when withdrawing the swords. This incredible scabbard will fit well with any fantasy-based medieval character allowing an easy way to carry additional weapons.
