Eventide Flail Head

Just the head...

The flail head boasts a midnight black finish with silver accents, resembling the early stars of twilight, transforming it into a striking piece of artistry.

Easily attached to any haft, it allows for customisation to your combat and visual style, ensuring a perfect balance of precision and power. It is ideal for LARP and theatrical use and prioritises safety without compromising the weapon's fearsome appearance. Step into the role of a shadowy knight or a rogue warrior with the Eventide Flail Head, and a unique haft of your own making will surely carve your legacy under the cloak of night.

If you have no desire to make a flail haft of your own, Epic Armoury's Eventide Flail Head is compatible with many of the other modular flail hafts we have from other leading brands. 

In LARP, chain weapons have been an extraordinary sight on the battle field forever, and they're justifiably feared by shield bearers, for instance. The Siegward chain flail handle may be combined with all chain flail heads by Black Dragon, allowing you to create your own dream flail. Matching connectors are included in the delivery of the head, and they may easily be fitted by hand. There are enough connectors to allow for repairs out in the field, if necessary. A word of caution regarding chain "length": please note that most LARP events do not allow weapons that are long enough to wind around a participator's neck.

In the Black Dragon series, Italian manufactory Fucina del Drago, famous for their exceptional leather products, have created a foam weapon brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with a fantastic design. The "Black Dragon" foam weapons are 100% handcrafted in Italy. They feature an outer coat of latex varnished with a layer of protective lacquer. Inserts of robust leather guarantee the necessary stability and durability. Carefully painted and with boasting a high-quality leather hilt wrapping, the "Black Dragon" foam weapon range will be a trusty companion for a long time. Please note that each foam weapon is individually crafted by hand, which is why the individual weapons' shape and colour may deviate slightly from the image.

We recommend regular care with silicon oil. Keep your foam weapons clean and dry at all times. Do not store them in a weapon's holder or similar contraption for extended periods of time. Your foam weapon should not be exposed to a lot of heat or direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This could lead to deformations or damage to the surface.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.

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 Ready for Battle 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.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready for Battle Axe is a classic latex war axe that will serve a rural warrior, homestead defender or Viking raider equally well. The 60 cm axe has a 55 cm wooden handle and a large rectangular axe head. The head is 12 cm long from bite to handle, with a 15 cm curved edge.

Use this axe with a shield for a Celtic or Viking look. Made from durable closed cell foam around a 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 kit.

HISTORY

• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
• Also referred to as a splitting axe or carpenter’s axe depending on the axe’s head shape and its use
• First hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle

Chainmail has become popular on the battlefield, protecting soldiers from sharp blades and arrows. But you are clever. A soldier in chainmail has every reason to fear you, because metal ring armour will do nothing against the blunt force of your Ready for Battle Mace.

While you might be one of the thousands of soldiers on the field, you are still considered a skilled threat with the help of such a mighty weapon.

DETAILS

Its long square grip is 55 cm and ends in a 20 cm four-flanged mace head. The spiked flanges are detailed with beveled edges and negative space near the haft, its upper 8 cm spike shaped slightly longer than its lower companion.

Back to work.

DETAILS

Additionally, with its neutral design, you are free to use the Wood Axe in a modern or historic setting.

You are laughing too loud. You realize it must be scaring your enemy, because no one wants to face you on the frontline anymore. They think you are crazed. Maybe you are, because the adrenaline of being in a battle has left you feeling drunk with exhilaration.

If no one will come to you, it’s time to bring the fight to them! One poor soldier desperately strikes at you and you feel the thud of his sword against your armour, but it hardly makes a scratch. You see the terror in his eyes as your laugh fills the field and you bring the strength of your Viking Short Axe down upon him.

You are Raynor Ironshood. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s new improved version of the bestselling Viking Short Axe is reinforced to make it even more durable. The axe-head has a 18 cm edge and a golden embellishment that matches the pommel. The handle is 45 cm long and carved to look like rough wood grain without a specific grip, encouraging the user to make use of the axe’s versatile design.

Neutral in style and manoeuvrable enough to be used with almost any other product in the Epic Armoury collection, this latex axe is the perfect addition to any character--particularly a Viking or Dwarf. Made from durable closed cell foam around a 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 kit.
