DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s RFB Skull Cutlass is a latex-hybrid single-edged sword with a basket hilt. The sword is 75 cm long and has a curved blade with a thicker tip designed to give it the chopping power necessary to dominate a bloody deck. The crossguard curves around the hand, and is decorated with a golden skull set against the silver metal. This guard protects the detailed grip cast and painted to look like real wood.

This Ready for Battle Skull Cutlass is a simplified version of our regular Cutlass, perfect for children or first time LARPers. While it is meant as a beginner’s weapon, this Cutlass is still constructed using our highest quality materials and is both durable and detailed. 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 make you confident in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

INSPIRATION

• Earliest references to orcs are found in Old English and Anglo-Saxon sources, such as in Beowulf and in 16th century Italian folktales
• The word itself stems from the Latin word Orcus, which was the name given to the Roman deity of the dead
• J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century The Lord of the Rings series describes orcs as brutish, aggressive beings with a taste for human flesh
• Tolkien’s writings influenced many role-playing games, and are now seen in such games as Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer and Warcraft
