Thieves Tools

Good for picking ye olde locks.
Available in two stylish colours, you rogue!

You hold your knife between your teeth, keeping it accessible while your hands are busy using your Thieves Tools to pick a noble’s unguarded luggage. Leaving anything valuable without a guard is like an invitation to steal it...at least that’s been your experience.

With a satisfying ‘click!’ the lock comes undone and you pry the chest open to reveal--oh, yes! That will do nicely. You pocket what looks to be a sizeable purse and a few interesting looking weapons, before carefully replacing the lock and sneaking out of the tent undetected.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Thieves Tools are a collection of steel and brass tools designed to pick locks or disable traps. The set includes a lock pick, mini saw, functional brass magnifying glass, universal key and a tiny hammer.

Keep all your Thieves Tools safe by storing them in the included holder made from soft, split-leather. Secure the holder closed using its top-grain leather strap, and keep it handy by attaching it to your belt using its hanger. Whether you are a rogue looking to make an easy coin, or an adventurer who wants to be ready for the most dangerous dungeons, the Thieves Tool set is a great prop to have!

HISTORY

• Lockpicking has been around since the first locks, as both a criminal act and a hobby
• King Louis XVI of France was a designer, picker, and manipulator of locks

You slide your Thief Gloves over your hands. Dexterous fingers need the freedom to move, and these gloves protect your hands without sacrificing your ability to pick even the most trickiest of locks.

Such a lock sits before you, carefully wrought and designed, and you work your lock picks with expertise. With a decisive ‘click!’ the lock comes undone and you open the chest to reveal the most beautiful gem you’ve ever before seen.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Thief Gloves are fingerless leather gloves with short cuffs. They are made from black dyed leather and stitched at all joints around the fingers, wrists and edges. This stitching improves the strength of the material by preventing it from deforming with heavy use or from exposure to the environment. The fit of the gloves can be adjusted with leather lacing up the cuff.

These gloves are fully compatible with other Epic Armoury metal and leather items and particularly match our more cunning designs. Their low-fantasy look and moderate style can be used with a multitude of settings, allowing freedom to create your own unique costume.

HISTORY

• Leather has been used for gloves for thousands of years
• Leather gloves were used for a better grip on tools and to protect the hands

As the world’s greatest and most famous monster hunter, you must look your best--and you must especially look impressive when you make your first impression!

You walk into the tavern following your apprentice’s long announcement that includes all fifteen of your glorious titles. Your trophies of the greatest monsters lines the walls, and people stand and offer to buy you your first mug of ale. And meanwhile your Ignis Pants are bright and as loud as the cheers from your adoring fans.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black/Dark Red Pants Ignis are styled leggings with baggy, pleated thighs and vertically cut colours. Made from durable black cotton twill and red medium canvas lining, these pants are extra wide above the knees before fitting tighter around the lower legs. Included black leg wraps complete the look around the calves and shins, getting the best fit to your body and negating the need for tall boots or thick leg pads for your leg guards.

The pants are fitted with six belt loops and are stretchy at the waist, giving you the best fit. The pants also have deep pockets, as well as two small pockets on the front that fit a pair of your favourite throwing knives. Whether you are a traveling ranger or urban rogue, these pants are a great style of high quality.

HISTORY

• Similar to the Landsknecht Pants, worn by German Landsknecht mercenaries of the Renaissance period
• A great way to show off wealth with the excess use of fabric
• Design is similar to the Pluderhose, a 15th century design that fastened at the knee

Your Knight’s Code is one of valor, truth, and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. A dark knight has destroyed both your shield and sword during a duel, and he advances upon you.

This honorless fiend believes he has won, but you will not allow yourself to perish without taking this evil with you in the process. You grab for your Stiletto still at your waist, and prepare to make a final desperate attempt to lodge the blade between the dark knight’s armour.

Let your god guide your hand...for you have only one chance.

DETAILS

The bestselling Epic Armoury Stiletto is a solid dagger with a comfortable split-leather wrapped handle. The crossguard has a simple and elegant design, protecting the 13 cm grip when in use. When fighting enemies in heavy plate armour, daggers like this would have been worn by a knight and forced between the joints during combat.

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 authentic kit. Whether your business is running the realm, defending your homestead or backstabbing the higher-social classes, this multi-purpose tool is for you.

HISTORY

• Worn at the waist and used as both a utility tool and a side-arm in battle
• Historically designed for stabbing or cutting, while proving ineffective at slashing
• Also known as the “lady’s knife,” because it could be easily hidden under skirts

As DJ Tiesto may have once or twice said with Sevenn: "Boom"

BOMB’S AWAY!

Epic Armoury’s Hand Bomb is a very realistic looking mockup of a 17th Century cast iron gunpowder based grenade. Appealing with its slightly cartoonish appearance it can be used as a throwing weapon whether you are LARPing aboard a pirate ship or rogueing in the forest. The 7 cm. wide bomb is available in black and is sculpted and hand painted to look like cast iron; furthermore, it sports a faux cotton fuse that has been dipped in black latex to avoid splitting strands. Its small size diameter fits great in the hand and makes it easy to throw. Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Hand Bomb will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your LARP kit.

Please note: Do NOT light the fuse on fire! It will possibly damage the product and the warranty will not cover.
