Rangers Knife

YOU THINK THAT'S A KNIFE?

Epic Armoury’s Ranger Knife has an pragmatic and imposing look to itself. With a blade length of 17CM, it is a knife that is best used as backup for a ranger, with a pointed tip for penetrating skin with a sharp single-sided edge. The simple and authentic design makes the Range Knife perfect as secondary weapon, for either a Warrior, Marksman or a survivalist type character ala a Ranger. 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 a LARP kit.
Please note that this version does have a core. They can be differentiated from the coreless version with their golden hilt guards.

Wherever you may roam and wander, your Ranger Sword is always by your side. Where you lay your head is home, and with your trusty steel by your side, you are always safe.

Your sword has seen you through countless battles, lain upon hundreds of stones, and been the last thing many orcs have ever seen. A ranger’s life is a hard one, but with a good sword at your side, it will always be yours.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ranger Sword is a 85 cm medium latex-hybrid sword 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.

Whether you are an elven scout or a rugged ranger, this Ranger Sword is one of our highest quality products due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a “Knightly sword” or “arming sword”
• Designed so that the center of mass was closer to the hilt, improving its maneuverability
• Typically used with a shield or buckler
• The pommel design is called a “scent stopper” design, popular in the 16th century

Aragorn had a magical elven-forged sword but not all rangers are that lucky. Most of us have to rely on the Ranger Quiver. It may not glow when goblins are about but it more than facilitates the act of slaying them!

Your horse gallops out onto the fields of a vast plain, chasing after the few orcs fleeing from your arrows. Your horsebow gleams beneath the sunlight, and every arrow you pull and let fly from your Ranger Quiver finds its mark. With balance and elven grace, you reach for another arrow in your quiver.

The orcs made a mistake when they entered your family’s forest. You successfully taunted their scouting party into a trap, and now all that is left is a little cleanup.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ranger Quiver is a highly adjustable, beautifully ornamented quiver designed to carry a supply of arrows with you even during extreme maneuvers. It fits most LARP arrows and is made from chrome-tanned plated-leather with a soft split-leather exterior. Ornamental leather patches decorate this quiver at the top and bottom to give it an elven appearance. The circular bottom is stitched to the body with a similar flattened leather cord and brass rivets used along the top and down the side.

The Ranger Quiver is worn over the shoulder thanks to its 90 cm adjustable leather strap, brass-plated iron buckle, and 32 pre-punched holes. An additional 70 cm adjustable belt anchors the quiver around the waist, or to a baldric or pack. This quiver has a beautifully detailed style and colour and matches other Epic Armoury leather items, making it a good choice for an elf or noble archer with a fat purse.

HISTORY

• Historically, quivers could be attached in various positions, including: the back, the belt, the ground, or the archer’s limbs
• Traditionally made of leather, wood, furs, and other natural materials

Adventuring requires preparation, and easy access to weapons in case of sudden attack. Epic Armoury's Ranger Knife Scabbard is a hardened leather scabbard that rises up to the challenges Larpers require. Designed specifically to fit with our Ranger knife, this beautiful leather sheath is reinforced by stitching and has a leather button fastener to secure the Larp blade in place. There is nothing like knowing that there is a good knife by your side. Simply secure the ranger knife scabbard to your medieval belt or armor using the leather strings, and you are now ready for any eventuality that may arise at your roleplay event.

This sheath comes with the silver crossguard / coreless version of the knife, as pictured.

Arrows weren't the only things the elves were skilled shots with.

Your elven ears hear the rustle of footsteps behind you. A smile crosses your delicate lips as you realize a stranger is attempting to sneak up on someone as lithe and alert as you. You are the kindred of the immortals, having honed your skills for hundreds of years. No normal mortal being can surprise you.

“Come out of hiding,” you call over your shoulder. “I know you are there.”

As you hear the ‘thwap!’ of an archer’s bow, you spin and dodge the incoming arrow, releasing an Elven Throwing Knife back at your attacker in one fluid motion. The fight has begun.
