Description
The best metalsmiths ever known were the Dwarves. Then, as now, they are known for their fine craftsmanship and great skill, favoring weapons both sturdy and ornate. The Dwarf Double Edged Sword meets both qualifications. It has a beautiful hilt, and is made from hardy foam, latex, and fiberglass construction. The hilt is cast polyurethane foam, which allows this fantasy-inspired LARP weapon to feature an amazing amount of detail. Enjoy the hand cast and hand painted matching guard and pommel, done in golden and silver. The grip sports a realistic wooden appearance, and is slip resistant.
Made of shred resistant, closed cell foam, the unique fantasy blade has a fiberglass core capped with Kevlar to prevent punch-through, covered with a protective latex coating, making this weapon a marvelous choice for your next LARP event.
This LARP sword is approximately 42 inches in overall length.
IMPORTANT: The picture from the factory makes the blade color look like steel, but that is inaccurate. The blades are actually an IRON color, as shown above.
History
Dwarves were originally a German mythological creature that dwells deep in the earth
Dwarves are associated with wisdom, smithing, mining, and crafting
The modern term dwarf descends from the Old English word dweorg
A fuller, or the groove that runs the length of the blade, was added
to weapons to lighten the blade while adding structural strength
Dwarves have been considered to be a magical creature with an affinity for the Earth, with supernatural construction skills
J.R.R. Tolkien’s 20th century writings on the “Middle Earth Dwarf” has influenced how they are seen today in the high-fantasy genre
