Sky Hook

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

There is a measure of confidence a lord must carry with him when preparing his troops for battle. For you, that confidence is found the moment you hold your two-handed sword, Baal. Specially made to reflect your Celtic roots, it reminds you of the nation you are responsible to protect.

Your men have come to see your weapon as a symbol of power. When you raise it high into the air, they let forth a cheer of the same confidence you feel down into your bones. You will fight well today. You will win glory for your home and your people.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Baal is a beautiful two-handed sword with variable grip and an extra long blade. From tip to pommel, the Baal spans a massive 140 cm, including a 100 cm long center ridged blade with a leather wrapped ricasso for half-swording techniques integral to longsword fighting in close quarters. The blade can be used with both hands on the handle, or with one hand shifted up onto the ricasso for improved control and greater maneuvering speed.

The Baal sword has a V-shaped crossguard decorated with diamond patterns, protecting the 32 cm handle wrapped in split-leather. The grip is ergonomic to give you the best possible control of the lengthy blade. The pentagonal pommel is designed to match the crossguard.

This Baal sword has been designed to fit medieval or fantasy genres with a realistic look that will fit knights and other elite warriors looking for a powerful, stylish edge. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 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 battlefield kit.

HISTORY

• Inspired by a Prince of Hell by the name of Baal, said to be Satan’s main assistant
• Baal is also a term used for Lord, and is at times synonymous with God

There are stories being told about you amongst the soldiers. You are the mercenary who has slain over a thousand men. You put fear in your enemies with one sweep of your weapon. Your aura of darkness freezes the hearts of anyone who looks you in the eye. And your favorite? Someone is saying you made a deal with a devil so that you may never die.

You will never tell them which might be true. Instead, as you sit just beyond the campfire and clean the blood from your Great Sword, you simply listen...and smirk.

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.

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.

“We suddenly felt like a mob of unorganised amateurs. The numbers were on our side, but the sheer uniformity of their conduct was outright daunting. Their halberds were raised in perfectly aligned lines like a spiked monster ominously awaiting the first chance to strike. Our smith was supposed to signal our attack, but he hesitated. I then learned that morality is like a ship sailing in an ocean of doubt. And, O, did we all sink that day!”

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Pole Holster is a nifty accessory for characters obligated to keep a halberd, flag or banner raised for a prolonged time. The holster is crafted from durable leather and designed to be attached to any belt with adjustable leather straps. However, the D-rings also allow for a direct combination with the Sword Belt and Laced Sword Belt without using the straps. Keep the morale high – at least a little longer!

Please note: This product is designed for young LARPers and Cosplayers, primarily with RFB sword designs in mind. The harness will not withstand heavy combat or some of the heavier LARP swords. The RFB Double Sword Harness best fits wearers who are size extra-small, small or medium.
