Highborn sword

Please read this before you purchase

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.

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 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...

DETAILS

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 sword has a 65 cm fullered blade designed to be lightweight, while maintaining its structural stability. Made from EVA foam around 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!

The longer version exhibits a 20 cm long, highly detailed spacer made from polyurethane foam, that is sculpted and hand painted to look like filigree decorated steel embellished with subtle details. The crossguard is adorned with a loop-guard inspired by ivy and fleur-de-lis symbols, and 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.
