Softcombat Sword of Leonidas 300 402005

You beat your sword Leonidas against your shield, shouting alongside your legionaries outside the gates of Syracuse. Inside, its people are filled with terror, deafened by the trumpets and noise of your army. Arrows rain down and you and your fellow soldiers form a barrier with your shields.

Nothing can stop you. Your shield design allows you to stay in close formation, advancing on your defenders and dispatching them quickly with your weapon.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Sword of Leonidas is the perfect latex weapon to take on a thousand descending nations and their armoured beasts at once. Reminiscent of the modern bowie knife, the Sword of Leonidas is a makhaira-style blade designed to effectively cut through your enemy. The 10cm split leather wrapped handle is protected by both the cross guard and pommel thanks to its hooked shape.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can be sure that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you desire when crafting your Spartan-inspired kit.

Available in gold, copper and silver.

HISTORY

• Considered a makhaira type blade, which is an ancient knife or sword with a single edge.
• The blade design lent itself to both cutting and thrusting and has likely been around since the first swords were created.
