Earl's Shortsword (MCI-3285)

LEGEND
You hear the call of battle and you reach for your beloved Earl Shortsword to demonstrate the speed and ferocity of your strength. Lightweight and tough, this Stronghold weapon features a strong Norse influence in its overall design. Expertly crafted for a realistic look, this LARP sword features a ridge down the center of its double sided blade. The short crossguard, curved towards the blade, features elegant knotwork in a rustic, antique bronze tone that perfectly matches that of the pommel. Divided into two sections by a band of cast bronze coloration, the grip has an intricately detailed woodgrain texture painted to resemble cherrywood. With its innovative, latex-free construction, this Epic Foam Stronghold sword is virtually maintenance free, and the stab-proof blade tip and cushioned edges make it safe for tough LARP combat.

DETAILS
Behold the Stronghold Dreki Sword: Sea serpents, dire-wolves and competing Viking-scum will not stand a chance!

This splendid 30" sword has a 22.5" blade with a medial ridge designed to be lightweight while maintaining its structural stability. Made from EVA foam surrounding a fibreglass 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, and another significant member to join the Stronghold line! 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

Stronghold weapons are designed for tough LARP combat and have a unique Epic Foam construction that does not contain latex and requires little to no upkeep. They weigh the same as latex weapons, have cushioned edges, and are stab-proof, making them safe for LARP battle. The hilts are made of polyurethane foam for high detail and practically maintenance-free durability.

This weapon’s handle does not require any special maintenance, while the blade has a latex coating which needs a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using silicone spray, which can be purchased from any home improvement store. We recommend using silicone on a regular basis, taking care not to apply the spray to the handle by first wrapping it in plastic-wrap. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant. Spray on the silicone, wipe off the excvess, and wait 30 minutes.

If you wish to use a Stronghold Master Collection weapon for LARP combat, please make sure to apply a coat of Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicon or Protection Gel to protect the paint finish on the blade. Marks on the weapons are to be expected, especially the darker tinted ones, after prolonged usage even with a protective coating.

Store your weapon in a cool, dry environment, and keep your weapon flat or on its pommel--NEVER on its tip. Wrap the weapon in a simple sheet or a towel to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface, or another latex surface, to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products.
