Description
Inspired by a dagger from King Tuts tomb, the Desert Dagger looks perfectly at home in the hands of a desert adventurer or dangerous assassin. This foam dagger has a double-edged blade. The blade curves at the bottom to create a thin ricasso, and the handle has a brass end cap near the ricasso. Finally, the handle continues with a grip that has the feel of wrapped brown leather. The grip also has another brass colored section and ends with a fin-shaped pommel. Use the Desert Dagger at your next LARP battle, cosplay convention, or theatrical production.
Made from soft EVA foam, this LARP dagger has a fiberglass core with a Kevlar cover over the tip. A latex coating covers the foam. This construction is highly durable.
Please note that the blade on this dagger is a bit more dense and a bit harder than the standard latex-foam dagger because there is less foam in the blade; but that also makes it more durable.
