Woodsman Knife Holder - Brown

Includes 1 x throwing knife and 1 x throwing knife holder.

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 knife where it rests in your Woodsman Knife Holder. 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 Brown Woodsman Knife Holder comes with a knife, and isspecifically designed to hold the Epic Armoury Woodsman Knife throwing weapon. The handmade holder attaches to the belt or armour using two leather ties. A leather strap buttons over the knife, keeping it secure even in rough fights.

Made from brown full-grain leather and reinforced stitching around the edges, this weapon holder is built to keep its shape and withstand the abuse of a LARP with regular leather care.

HISTORY

• Also referred to as a frog
• Historically used to hold the scabbard of an edged weapon vertically from the belt
• Woodsman Dagger was designed to resemble a “balanced knife,” which is preferred by most Western traditions
• Knife throwing was first used in martial arts and hunting before it became a sport
• Throwing a knife was always considered a risk in martial arts, because an unsuccessful attack would leave you without a weapon while arming your attacker

I now have armour to survive another fierce night of battle!

The scurrying through thick brush, it is necessary to wear the proper armor. Epic Armoury's Leather Woodsman Shoulder Set is a sleek form-fitting pauldron that will not restrict movement or get caught on loose branches.
Sold as a pair, this richly detailed shoulder armour is made from several plates of stiff, vegetable-tanned leather stitched together to form a solid shell that will help defend the ranger in battle. Each pauldron can be tied to your armour using the leather strap containing riveted, segmented leather plates embossed with a beautiful Celtic pattern.
The distance of the shoulder can be comfortably adjusted to fit the shoulders of just about any warrior. This spaulder-style armour is perfect for rogues and assassins who require protection but do not desire bulky or loose-fitting armour.

You’ve been baking all day, preparing the meat pies sold in your shop window. Flour cakes your arms up to your elbows, and as you wipe at your forehead with the back of your hand, you leave more flour on your face. As you prepare another crust, you see a pair of small hands nabbing a pie from your counter.

You are well versed in pie-thieves, and wielding your Rolling Pin, you thwack the would-be thief across the knuckles. The halfling squeals in pain, running out the shop door as you return to baking. Good riddance!

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Rolling Pin is a coreless prop that can be especially handy in emergency homestead defense, or teaching pie-thieves and lazy, good-for-nothings a lesson. Life-sized, this pin is 42 cm long with 10 cm handles on either side. Handpainted and sculpted, this Rolling Pin appears to be made of real wood.

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this throwing weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Used to shape and flatten dough as a food preparation tool
• Seen wielded by angry housewives in cliché humor

Never go into battle before first tasting your favorite ale. That is the advice you would give any of your fellow Dwarves, for you never know when this may be your last fight.

You slam your Beer Mug onto the table as you await the finest dark ale you know. The tavern was quiet before you walked inside, tense with the anticipation of a coming war, but you are loud and bring life back to its walls. You raise a toast to the barkeep and to any nearby, granting them glory on the battlefield before drinking deeply from your mug.

It would be a true shame to leave this world while thirsty.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Beer Mug with Metal Bands is a throwing weapon handy for impromptu fights against other midnight boozers. The beer mug is cylindrical, standing 20 cm tall with a 18 cm diameter. The mug is carved with a wood texture and coloured brown to resemble the staves of a cask, rimmed with riveted metal-hoops. The hoops connect to the metal-coloured handle which is 8 cm deep, leaving plenty of room for grip. The inside is coloured black, mimicking a dark wax typically found on the inside of wooden mugs.

Made from coreless durable closed cell foam and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that this Beermug will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

HISTORY

• Also called a “tankard,” which originally referred to any wooden drinking vessel
• Similar to the earliest form of a tankard, which did not have a lid and resembled a barrel
• Earliest form has been found from as far back as 2000 years ago

Sneaking through the bandit’s hideout, you pause as a particular chest catches your eye. A true adventure always comes with its fair share of loot, you think, as you inspect for traps. All seems well as you start to pick the lock, wondering what sort of treasure the bandits might be hiding.

The lid opens with an awful creak--you’re sure someone will have heard it!--and as you look inside you are excited to find the entire chest full of stolen coins and gems. You don’t have much time as you scoop several handfuls into your Ready-for-Battle Purse, thanking the fact that your bag is big enough to carry so much, before you jingle toward the exit.

It’s about time something good came out of this journey!

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Purse is a moderately sized cloth purse designed to hold coins or other personal keepsakes. The round bottomed purse is made from medium cotton and is tied shut with a cotton cord drawstring. The same drawstring is long enough that it can be tied to your belt in order to keep it close at hand.

The RFB Purse can carry a lot thanks to its 12 cm radius at full extension. Store anything that will fit inside its 23 cm length. Cloth purses are useful accessories and great for adding final touches to your character.

HISTORY

• Historically referred to and used like a “pocket” before pockets were added to clothing
• Pouches worn at the belt have been found in Swedish and English burial sites pre-dating 1000 A.D.

You tighten your Ring Belt another notch, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. It’s been a long winter, and you and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ring Belt is a long leather belt made from 3 mm thick full-grain buffalo leather. Strong and durable, this belt is also extremely practical with its various D-ring hangers and leather straps for attaching equipment. With a rounded belt-tongue and 10 punched holes, adjust this belt to a large range of sizes to fit your unique body. Secure the belt using its solid brass belt buckle.

The Ring Belt is handsome and clean, making it a perfect fit for almost any character in any setting you care to play.

HISTORY
