Description
Some consider you crazed. Perhaps you are not in your right mind, but then.... who cares? No one dares to insult you to your face. You are too powerful. Too frightening. With your Dark Elven Shadow Blade, you are a deadly and respected figure in the underground community. When you pass by, all pause and hold their breath.
Epic Armoury’s Dark Elven Shadow Blade is a latex-hybrid short sword for the cruel Dark Elf or roguish villain. The sword is 40 inches long from tip to pommel, with a slightly curved single-edged blade. The detailed crossguard features gold accents and a sculpted grip, allowing optimal maneuverability and comfort for the hand. The handle is cast and painted to look like a blackened bone, while the elegant and deadly blade is painted a metallic black.
With a dark, dangerous appearance, this Dark Elven Shadow Blade is of our highest quality due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.
Note: The blade on this word is slightly dense and a bit harder than the standard latex-foam blades, and is thus a bit more durable.
