An instrument of death need not look like one. The dance of a duel is a beautiful thing to behold, with the flash of steel darting back and forth.

You’ve fought many of such duels, with your prized Noble Sword at your side, and your fellow nobles know of your reputation. Your sword is an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Noble Sword is a medium latex-hybrid sword inspired by rapiers of the Renaissance. The sword is 85 cm long and has a 60 cm blade with a central ridge. The crossguard features a looped design to protect the forefinger while providing a precise grip. The grip itself is crafted to appear like real wood, and is 10.4 cm long. This grip, wide by the crossguard and narrow toward the ribbed pommel, is ergonomic in your hand.

Whether you are a noble or a fortunate adventurer, this Noble 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

Your Knight’s Code is one of valor, truth, and courage. You are tasked with defending the innocent and the weak, and today your oath is being tested. Outside of town there has been a bandit attack on a merchant and his family, and it’s up to you to rescue them.

Your squire straps your Knight Shield tight onto your arm over the weight of your chainmail, and with a prayer to your God you and your small unit strike out onto the road. The sword upon your shield is a reminder that you are a weapon of justice.

Criminals be warned.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Knight Shield is a large shield inspired by heater shields used for jousting in the 15th century. A hand painted green, white and gold striped face mimics a traditional heraldry design. The rim is detailed to look like metal with brass studs. While the design is simple, this Knight Shield is timeless and classic.

Wear this Knight Shield left-handed with the use of three leather arm straps on the back, secured through hard EVA foam for a reliable and solid grip made to last. Feel confident that this latex shield will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular latex maintenance.

HISTORY

• Curved upper left corner is called a bouche, which was historically done to serve as a rest for a jouster’s lance and to improve the knight’s view

“The peasant rebel was well-armed and brave, but the experienced officer surprised him by swiftly drawing his rapier in an agile stance. The ornamented hilt gleamed during the deadly dance that followed. The rebel lunged forward but halted to defend himself from a deceiving thrust that pierced his wrist. A wound of finesse that already had decided the outcome of the duel. The officer stoically stood his ground, awaiting the decision of his opponent. Either he would surrender or succumb to his rage and die.”

Epic Armoury’s hybrid range Rillet Rapier is a delicate sword inspired by 16th and 17th-century designs. This model features an elegantly leaf-curved quillon and guard, a filigree ornamented chappe and pommel, and a grooved handle. The blade comprises a fibreglass core embedded in closed-cell ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam coated with pigmented latex. For those playing high-ranking noble characters in settings inspired by the Renaissance, this is an elegant weapon for a more civilised age.

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 Adventurer Swordholder kept your sword safe! Now, if you can just wiggle out of those ropes enough to grab the hilt…A bandit notices and takes your sword and your Adventurer Swordholder for himself.

You really need to rethink trusting farmers.
