Hand and a Half Hilt

The handle of a Hand & A Half sword, suitable for making your own

Global Gear (formerly Wicked Replicas) range of ‘battle’ ready play weapons are unlike anything you’ve seen before. Fun, safe and durable, they are made from quality rubber and hand finished for an authentic battle worn look.

Wicked Replicas play weapons look so realistic you almost need to look twice before running your hand down the blade of our Samurai Sword. You won’t get splinters from our Ogre’s Club or split in two by our Axe of Doom. Our entire range has been tested for safety and durability.

Please note: Your game system may not allow Wicked Replicas during play. Of Science & Swords provide no refund to customers that have made purchase in error.

Your squire buckles the straps of your custom-fit armour, adjusting it to be comfortable and snug over your gambeson. Then you are handed your piece-de-resistance: the Small Sword. You paid top coin for this sword, and you expect people will be impressed when they see how it shines on the battlefield.

Your blacksmith assured you that the Small Sword’s design was both effective and awe-inspiring, and you’re one to agree. You are a mighty warrior, indeed, to be the owner of such fine craftsmanship. A fitting symbol of your godly-given status.

DETAILS

Whether you are a noble or wealthy adventurer, this Small Sword Handle is our highest quality gear due to its impressive durability and detail.

Directions for Use:

Create or buy one of our fibreglass core foam blades, leaving a core length that matches the handle. Slide the handle onto the exposed core of your blade and glue it in place. Allow it to dry completely before use--likely after 1-2 days.

As a squire, you are up before dawn serving your Master. You are expected to have your Master’s armour polished and ready at a moment’s notice. There isn’t a moment to yourself that isn’t being spent thinking about your work. Without your Master’s blessing, you’ll never become a Knight.

Only sparingly do you have the opportunity to train your actual knightly skills, however. What personal weapon you own, a single Squire Sword, is easy enough for you to wield as you practice your cuts. One day you will be a fearsome knight. For now, you must continue to work hard.

DETAILS

The best made blades are forged by the most skilled swordsmiths, the metal worked with such precision and care that the edge can cut through flesh so cleanly that a person might not even know they are dead.

You have commissioned a swordsmith to craft you a Katana. Before he is paid you want to be certain it is a properly made blade, and so you conduct a test. You produce a silken sheet, allowing it to descend lightly onto the Katana’s edge. The sheet is cut cleanly, not a thread mismatched.

The blade is perfect.

DETAILS

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Dwarf Single Edge sword onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.
