The Wizard was angry. Not only had they conflated him with the bombing of Dresden, not only had they ruined his Star Wars marathon, they'd had the temerity to ask about The Hat.

"It's a Witch Hunter's Hat. Do I look like a Witch Hunter to you?" he asked between clenched teeth.

"But it's on the cover of the books!" the annoying one replied.

"Then maybe you should have bought the UK edition." he said in a voice colder than the mantle of Winter's Knight.

Protecting the innocent people of your country from the spells and curses of witches rests on your shoulders. It is your responsibility to find the dreaded creatures and put an end to their evil ways--often at the risk of your own life in the process.

Anymore, the townsfolk recognize you by your iconic wide-brimmed hat. You had it enchanted to protect yourself from charms and illusions, but it is also a symbol of the hunter that you are. It is a warning to any witch who dares to cross paths with you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s full-grain leather costume Witch Hunter Hat is handmade and embellished with a cotton canvas band, held in place with glue and leather pentagram along the brim, giving this gothic fashion a arcane twist.

• Also similar to the hat worn by Vampire Hunter D and Van Helsing

You let out a chuckle as you load your crossbow with another silver bolt. The ghoul howls from the first bolt embedded in its leg, and it tries to scamper away. As though it has a chance of escaping.

You take aim, pushing up the brim of your hat to get a clear line of sight. With a confident pull of the trigger another of your silver bolts fires and lodges into the creature’s heart. Perfect.

This bestselling Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is used for maintenance of Live Action Role Playing foam weapons and equipment covered with latex and/or varnish.

Directions for use:

Latex equipment must be coated with a thin layer of silicone at all times. This prevents the surfaces from drying out, and will prolong the lifespan of your latex equipment. Always check your latex equipment before and after each use. Spray the silicone directly onto your latex product and work it into the entire surface (avoiding leather handles) either with a piece of cloth or using a flat hand. If necessary, wipe off any excess with a dry cotton cloth. Always store your latex equipment in a dry and dark place.

HISTORY

• Hunting knives have their design due to being focused on doing the minimal amount of damage when cutting into hide or fur
• Hunting knives are still very common and it is not unusual to see them at fisherman and hunters

With a sigh of relief, the ranger stretched his sore back muscles and leaned against a large tree, his pale grey eyes surveying the great plains in front of him as dawn peeked over the grasslands. Tipping his hat, the rugged frontier man covered his face from the rising sun and took his first genuine rest in three days, fatigue taking over his body after the hunt of a lifetime. As he slipped into sleep, the frontier man was assaulted by vivid dreams of his epic duel with the beast, the roaring bear charging with its bloody claws, man-eating jaws aiming for his neck, thinking it could feast on the ranger as it did with the last five humans that felt before its hunger.

The hunter twitched in his sleep, his fingers grasping for his shotgun, finding it missing. The bear had knocked it from his hands with a swipe of its mighty paw, leaving Walt scrambling for his life, pinned by the massive animal. He was saved by the most simple and most loyal tool, his sturdy hunting knife. In a moment of despair and fear-induced rage, he managed to take hold of the horn-carved handle and, with strength that could only be matched by a man facing his own mortality, he sank the foot-long chunk of sharp steel in the monster's neck. As soon as the bear died, the memory faded, and the rugged rander finally found peace in his dreams. He slept for a few hours, the bearskin hanging from a thick branch nearby, drying in the morning sun, waiting to be turned into a worthy trophy for the hunter.

Inspired by American legend Jim Bowie, this large hunting knife is a latex and foam reproduction with a horn-styled handle made for LARP and other thematic events. With this rugged survivalist design, this blade is perfectly suited for rangers, hunters, veteran explorers, and other wilderness travellers. It can be used in many types of events, from fantasy to colonial, western, or even post-apocalyptic.
