Wood Axe

The forest is serene this morning as you head out along the trails. Birds are singing and the weather is crisp, perfect for working without breaking too much of a sweat. But as you approach the dead tree you’d marked the day before, you believe you hear something in the underbrush.

Your calloused, strong hand wraps around the handle of your Wood Axe. The edge is freshly sharpened, and you’re ready to defend yourself from any beast that you might find--relieved as a neighbor’s dog comes bounding out from a bush, instead.

Back to work.

The pirates are attempting to board your ship! It’s a terrible battle at sea, your own crew scrambling at the defensive. How will you overcome such a frightening enemy?

As the pirate ship begins to launch their grappling lines, you reach for your Boarding Axe. You’ve used this as a tool aboard the ship, but it now comes in handy as you sever a grappling line in twain. Screams of fright fill the air as the boarding pirates fall into the watery depths.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Boarding Axe is a heavy 62 cm axe designed for sailors and swashbucklers. It has an axe-blade with a 15 cm blade, and along with its spike, it is great for both attacking your enemy and chopping down doors when attempting to commandeer a ship! The short hooked axe head is hand painted to look like real metal (although it is made of soft foam), and is attached to the handle designed to look like weathered wood.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 10 mm fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, your new LARP axe will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your Defiant kit.

HISTORY

• The first hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle
• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
• Boarding axes were designed to be heavy to cut through grappling lines, and were used during the 17th and 18th centuries

A basic axe with a curved core that goes through the head for incredible durability.

Available in 3 lengths.

Katanas, Scimitars and Sabres are among the most beautiful, most loved and most historically significant swords around. So, it’s no surprise that at nearly every LARP event, many people lament that no one makes curved swords. Those days are gone. Elysian Forge was created by a passionate team of LARPers in Canberra, Australia who figured out how to make reliable curved fibreglass cores, and magnificently detailed, expertly finished LARP weapons of all sorts, where an exotically shaped core would mean a more effective weapon. Our ever-expanding range of products include many curved swords such as the full size range of Japanese swords, Indo-Persian Shamshir, Indian Tulwar, European Sabre, Egyptian Khopesh, as well as “core-through-head” Axes, and more to come. The dark ages of LARP weapons being limited by straight cores is over. Welcome to the Elysian age of LARP weapons!

Skaegi, Minea, may 14th.
The Cordovians army had started the attack on our lands for a few days now. There had been many ambushes, and some of our villages were raided. They have more than 8000 soldiers under the command of a dictator – at least twice as many as our Lord possesses. Up to this moment, frontal assault had been avoided, but the horn now blows through the morning wind, and I hear the sound of warriors getting ready for battle. The valley leading up to our walls will give our soldiers a solid advantage, allowing them to crush the knights’ brutal assault. Our soldiers have been given the protection of a chainmail and were armed with great Dane axes. They are trained and brave, and they will aim right. They will not falter. Again the horn echoes through the valley. The battle begins.

One day and one night, we fought, and great were the losses on both sides. But our commander’s plan and the great courage of our soldiers gave us the upper hand over our enemy. Despite the blow to our military and economic situation, our name and honour is safe, and we are still the lords of our father’s lands.
