Legend
The Krivarian midday sun is beating down on the spectators, as they are watching the great tournament. Percyval is getting ready for the preliminary rounds of sword fencing; his squire is helping him put on the last piece of armour. He places his hand on the handle of his Higborn Sword, and a silent prayer runs through his mind, as he pulls himself up and walks into the arena.
“Look at him parading like he has a silver spoon up his arse!”, an old jestering crone with absolutely no teeth in her mouth shouts from the stands. Percyval pays no attention to the mockery but focuses on his contender, who is calmly waiting for him. A lot is at stake for him today...
Description
Epic Armoury proudly presents yet another addition to the Stronghold line: Grasp the handle of our Stronghold Highborn Sword and surrender yourself to the ambience of nobility, chivalry and lavishness!
This 44 inch longsword has a 26.5 inch fullered blade designed to be lightweight, while maintaining its structural stability. Made from EVA foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong and impressive paintwork, this sword is just as soft as any latex coated weapon but even more sturdy in battle! Due to the density of the blade, there is a chance of paint being rubbed off due to the friction caused when the blade and another dry surface makes contact. To mitigate this, we advise you to coat the blade with a thin layer of silicone, which will reduce the friction and in turn stress on the paint.
The gold colored cross guard is adorned with filigree and a loop-guard inspired by ivy and fleur-de-lis symbols. The handle is cast and painted to appear like wood. An intricate scent stopper pommel at the end of the handle crowns this magnificent sword as a sovereign amongst our Stronghold Swords.
The Stronghold Highborn Sword is high quality gear due to its impressive durability and magnificent details. This sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your LARP weapon on the battlefield, whether you are a noble king or a glorious captain of the guard.

Maintenance
This Stronghold weapon’s handle does not require any special maintenance. Due to the density of the blade, there is a chance of paint being rubbed off due to the friction caused when the blade and another dry surface makes contact. To mitigate this, we advise you to coat the blade with a thin layer of silicone spray (available from any home improvement store), which will reduce the friction and in turn stress on the paint. Store your weapon flat or on its pommel - NEVER on its tip. Keep your weapon in a cool, dry environment, wrapped in a towel or a sheet.
