Rawblade is a B2B company focused on the world of medieval reenactment and LARP. Rawblade contributes to the market with their know-how of Spanish crafts, a long tradition of furs and leather, as well as steel. Inspired by the famous Toledo steel, Rawblade develops a set of armours and chainmails.

The human team behind Rawblade is formed from the experience acquired at EvilTailors, as well as the various platforms that have been integrated into its collective over time. The hard work, designs, and ideas that make up the Rawblade catalogue are the result of inspiration in the world of medieval fantasy that has accompanied them since childhood. We believe Rawblade offers a quality wardrobe at a very competitive price.

Rawblade attempts to use products and producers primarily from Spain. All their leather goods are made 100% in Spain adding the seal of quality to the crafts. Their foam creations, clothes, and steel are designed and made in Spain and India.

From the Stronghold Masters Collection, Ryūgan, the Katana, is a blade with presence. Designed for those who appreciate both elegance and efficiency in their LARP weaponry. Named after the “dragon’s eye,” it’s built for movement, control, and a sense of style that stands out without being overly loud. The silhouette is inspired by traditional katana forms, refined for fantasy worlds and fast-paced action.

This latest addition to the Stronghold Masters range has been streamlined and rebalanced, making it much easier to manage than earlier versions. Made from latex-free PU foam around a strengthened fiberglass core and featuring a Kevlar-reinforced tip to provide added protection, Ryūgan is built to withstand heavy use. It's ideal for high-intensity fighting due to its slightly thinner profile, while still offering the distinctive Stronghold softness and resilience.

Whether you're cosplaying at a con, posing for your next photoshoot, or want a sword that swishes like you do, this one does exactly that.

The handle features a textured wrap in true katana style—canvas cross-laced in small, squared segments for a secure grip and added comfort. It's a small detail that lends the sword a grounded, tactile feel, especially when used bare-handed or during extended sessions. The balance sits naturally between the hilt and blade, making Ryūgan feel fluid in motion without being too light for satisfying strikes.

Ryūgan is available in eight distinct colours so that you can match it to your gear, your character, or just your favourite vibe:

• Amethyst (purple) – a rich, arcane hue with a touch of mystery
• Citrine (yellow) – warm and sharp, like sunlight through steel
• Emerald (green) – earthy and bold, perfect for wild and natural looks
• Gold – timeless and royal, with a commanding presence
• Noble Steel (silver) – clean, classic, and confident
• Ruby (red) – fiery, fierce, and impossible to ignore
• Sapphire (blue) – cool and focused, with ocean-deep depth
• Shadow (black) – sleek, subtle, and quietly powerful

It features a stylized tsuba (handguard), as shown in the photos. Its angular, curved shape provides an element of fantasy to what is otherwise a standard look. You can remove it or replace it with other Stronghold-compatible guards, giving you the freedom to customize your configuration or switch between different fashion styles for your characters.

Although designed with LARP in mind, the wide range of colors to choose from and slender shape also make Ryūgan an excellent choice for cosplayers, stage performers, and costumiers seeking secure, durable props that look excellent on camera and perform perfectly in combat. From suave samurai to anime-fantasy heroes, Ryūgan bridges the gap between history and fantasy.

Ryūgan is more than just good-looking—it's about feeling good. Light, strong, and full of presence, it's waiting for you when you are.

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness with the help of your Mempo, waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your throwing knives, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, you knife hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Mempo is a leather half-mask inspired by early Asian soldiers. This mask protects the face from the bridge of the nose to the chin. Four ventilation slits allow proper airflow through the mask’s mouth, designed to be comfortably worn for long periods of time. Secure the mask to your face by tying two long cotton-weave cords around the head.

Made from 3mm thick vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, Epic Armoury’s Mempo is designed to add a great layer to your fantasy or historic costume. With the best quality materials, this mask is built to withstand extensive abuse with regular leather care.

HISTORY

• Worn by Japanese and Chinese infantry and cavalry from as early as 200 BC
• Used to balance and secure top-heavy helmets, often decorated to give the wearer an extra fierce look

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. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it’s up to you to rescue them.

Your squire straps your Sallet onto your head over the weight of your chainmail coif, and with a prayer to your god you and your small unit strike out onto the road.

Criminals be warned.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Sallet is a protective helmet with a movable visor closely based on the historical helmet used in 15th century Germany. The visor is reinforced and shaped to fit comfortably around the face while still providing good air flow through its ventilation holes. This helmet is covered with detail that is both beautiful and practical. Wear the visor over the forehead or the face thanks to its flower-decorated hinge, or enjoy the decorative reinforcement plating along the brow. A flexible lobster neck-plate protects the back of the head behind the ears.

Secure the Sallet helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

HISTORY

• Replaced the Italian bascinet during the mid 15th century
• Was especially popular in Germany
• Worn during jousting when worn with a bevor

The humans are short lived and greedy creatures, like lice infecting the world with their disease-ridden numbers. That’s why you kill every human you ever come across.

You keep a collection of human fingers, hung from leather around your neck. You want those lousy men to fear you and your ferocious might. Wearing your Human Forefinger Trophy around your neck has caused quite a commotion in the human ranks.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Human Forefinger Trophy is a grisly latex accessory designed to imitate the pointer finger of a humanoid foe. Made from 100% natural latex and stuffed with cotton to give it a realistic weight and feel, this finger adornment can be hung as a talisman from a belt or neck using its leather cord. It is sure to create fear--and hatred--in the hearts of your enemies.

The Human Forefinger Trophy is sculpted and handpainted to appear as if it has been cut off from flesh. Thickened, rough edges along the base look like clots of blood coagulated from the wound. This trophy finger is skin-coloured with shaded creases. It can be carefully dry-brushed or customized using Epic Effects Makeup.

HISTORY

• Similar in use to the historical practice of human trophy collecting
• Remains of the deceased were collected to demonstrate dominance or to commemorate

The humans are short lived and greedy creatures, like lice infecting the world with their disease-ridden numbers. Like most sentient creatures, however, family is exceptionally important. A human’s heritage is a part of their identity.

That’s why you took the prince’s face after you defeated him in battle. You wanted the royal family to fear you and your ferocious might. Wearing your Human Trophy Mask has caused quite a commotion in the human ranks.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Human Trophy Mask is a face mask designed to look like the torn away face of a human man. Hide your face behind the stolen one of a defeated enemy, kept as a trophy to prove your warrior’s skill and victory. Made from 100% natural latex, this mask covers the whole face with roomy holes around the eyes, nostrils, and mouth for comfort and speech.

The face itself has a pronounced nose and beardless chin. Wrinkles and jagged edges give it the realistic appearance of having been torn away from the face of the victim. The complexion is a sickly yellow skin tone.

Secure the mask to your face using the adjustable leather cords. Customize the mask’s appearance with Epic Effects Water-Based Makeup.
