Dark Elven Throwing Knife in Holder

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

In the dangerous tunnels of your home beneath ground, staying alive requires keeping all your senses on high alert. Your dark elf ears are trained to pick up even the faintest of sounds in the darkness, your hands ready by your Dark Elven Throwing Knife Holder should you need to defend yourself from some beast or being.

So, when you hear the silvery tongue call out to you, “Hello, friend,” you are not so quick to let down your guard. While the other dark elf approaching you is an old acquaintance, you also heard the crossbow bolt being slid into place--now hidden behind her back.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Elven Throwing Knife Holder comes with a knife, and is specifically designed to store and protect an Epic Armoury Dark Elven Throwing Knife weapon. The handmade holder attaches to any belt or baldric thanks to the two leather ties. An additional leather loop slides around the knife and is secured with a button, keeping your weapon inside the holder even during rough combat.

Made from black full-grain leather, brass eyelets, 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.

The dark crevices of society is your domain. In the safety of your lair you review the bounties you have collected, considering your next target. When night falls upon the land, you will emerge.

The cityfolk have come to fear you and the silence in which you strike. With your leather gear and Dark Elven Blade, you are able to maneuver in the shadows until your target is exactly where you want him. You are formidable. You are the assassin.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Elven Blade is a chopping short sword, forged in the cruel style of the dark elves. The sword is 65 cm long with a gently curved, single-edged 45 cm blade. The blade is handpainted to look like bleached bone with a matching clawed crossguard and pommel. The 12 cm oval handle is wrapped in split-leather for an improved grip. For extra control, a pistol ring has been fitted onto the crossguard.

The blade has a dark, vicious feel that will fit almost any dark character, whether your style is that of a dark elven warrior or exotic raider. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 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 your battlefield kit.

INSPIRATION

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.
