Falcon Gloves - Brown

Reaching out your arm, the falcon glides and lands upon your Falcon Glove. You offer it a gift and it gulps down the shrew before preening its feathers and looking noble upon your forearm.

You take great pride in this bird of prey and its ability to hunt for your pleasure. It is a sign of your status amongst the nobility, and you treasure the entertainment.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Brown Falcon Gloves are leather gloves with long cuffs to protect the forearm. They are made from brown dyed leather with two suede fingers. All joints around the fingers, wrists and edges are stitched, improving 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 along the side of the cuff.

These gloves are fully compatible with other Epic Armoury metal and leather items. 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 is used for a better grip on tools and to protect the hands
• Falconry may have begun as early as 2000 B.C., and was a status symbol amongst nobles in medieval Europe

MASTERS OF SKULDUGGERY

Epic Armoury’s Landsknecht Rondel is a solid 46 cm. dagger inspired by the mercenary Landsknechts of the Hansa State era. Whether your LARP-character is a conniving scoundrel who's trade is skulduggery & espionage or simply just a rogue on the run, this dagger is for you. It features a 28 cm. blade with a central ridge and a fine wood-like handle protected by a cross guard in the shape of a twisted bronze ring. The bronze coloured pommel is rounded, designed as a basic interpretation of a knight’s “rondel dagger”. When fighting enemies close-quarter in heavy plate armour, daggers like this would have been used to force between the joints.

Special care has been taken to ensure that our LARP weapons are safe. This dagger was constructed around a solid fibreglass rod core and a flexible kevlar tip to prevent punctures. Its latex finish requires some maintenance to maximize its use and your wellbeing.

HISTORY

• The German ‘Landsknechts’ were feared soldiers on 16th Century battlefields and had a reputation for remorceless violence
• It was said that the devil refused to let Landsknechts into hell, because he was so afraid of them

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.

“The winter was relentless. Helt felt it as he left the great hall, which, too, was cold at this hour. His family had donned their winter attire months ago, but many peasants had no such luxury. There had even been whispers that this winter would be the final one. The Fimbul. His wife and children scoffed at such talk in public but enquired with him in the dark evenings. The fear of their future was clear in their eyes. He reassured them of the warmth to come, and no living soul knew that he also felt the clutches of doubt. But he knew high spirits were essential to survive and thrive in the North. Thus he proclaimed that spring would soon arrive. Also, this year.”

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Fimbul Pants shares the Viking Age design inspiration of Pants Arvid but features a high-quality herringbone wool blend. These pants are designed with an inner and no outer seam, featuring a centre gusset that runs along the entire rise and diagonal patterns on the legs for a better fit around the knees. They are available in two shades of grey, making them a great base to pair with more colourful items in a Nordic-inspired character kit.

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
