Edward the Defender

It is said that this sword once belonged to a young king who fell not in glory, but in sacrifice. Betrayed by those closest to him, he never raised his blade against kin, choosing instead to die with faith unbroken. In time, the weapon became a symbol — not of conquest, but of endurance. Carried by wandering knights and humble champions, it whispered of loyalty, sacrifice, and the courage to hold fast to one’s vows even when all else falters.
Those who take up Edward the Martyr’s Sword do not merely wield steel — they inherit a burden of honor that no oathbreaker can carry.

A noble relic reborn for today’s battlefields, Edward the Defender is a balanced bastard sword with a silver single‑fuller blade and a clean, knightly profile. Built on a fiberglass core with Calimacil foam, it’s light, safe, and ready for duty. A spiritual successor to the discontinued Edgar sword, it keeps the simple lines—now refined for steadfast guardians and sworn protectors. Edward the Defender honors the clean geometry of a classic knight’s weapon: a straight guard, comfortable grip, and a disciplined silver blade with a single fuller. Its balanced proportions and light weight make it effortless to wield one-handed with a shield or two-handed when the gate must hold.

Crafted with Calimacil’s durable foam over a solid fiberglass core, this sword is made for safe, frequent LARP combat without sacrificing presence on your belt. Fans of our retired Edgar will recognize the lineage: simple lines, practical control, and details that reward a closer look—reborn for modern campaigns.

Intimidation. It’s your main form of weaponry while facing the heroes, because it gives you full control. When your enemies fear you, they are more likely to make fatal mistakes.

Your fingers wrap tightly around the shield’s handle, and the skull on its face grows hot as it fills with potent magic.

The Imperial Shield gives you the ability to wield more power, weaving together complex spells beyond your normal grasp. With the help of this focus, you are victorious--even over death.

As an Adventurer, you never know who you might be working for or what beast you’ll be sent to dispatch next. There’s only one thing for certain: if there’s enough money or glory to be had, you’re the right person for the job.

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.

LOOKS CAN BE DECIEVING

First of all: this sword is no virgin. Designed to appear as though it has seen countless battles, Epic Armoury’s Battleworn Ranger Sword comes with a non-pristine look like rusty spots and nicks and scratches. It looks grimed, aged and not at all well-cared for. Secondly, it has character; it could very likely be the trusty blade of a heroic outlaw or an unscrupulous assassin. Maybe it got picked up by a scavenging orc as stolen goods after a battle, or maybe it belongs to a daughter of a nomadic warrior clan. The possibilities for using it when crafting LARP characters seems almost inexhaustible.

Make no mistake though; The Battleworn Ranger Sword is as dependable as any clean blade in our broad range of products and you can feel absolutely sure that this hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield. This 60 cm short latex-hybrid sword is impressively durable and is inspired by medieval weapons and fantasy lore alike. The crossguard features an intricate curved design that protects a leather-like grip. This grip, wide by the crossguard and narrow toward the golden “scent stopper” pommel, is ergonomic in your hand. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance.

HISTORY

• Considered to be a long knife and is similar in size and shape to a thrusting dagger called a “dirk”
• Used as a personal sidearm by officers
• The pommel design is called a “scent stopper” design, popular in the 16th century. In shape it resembles the top on old crystal perfume bottles
