Kriegsmesser - 60 cm
This product is handmade and/or hand-painted and therefore unique. As a result, this product can have natural deviations in pattern, colour and shape, which are not considered defects or faults. Measurements are all in cm if not stated otherwise.
Your Kriegsmesser cuts down another goblin, leaving him in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat. They have learned too late that attacking your group in the night would mean death. It’s too bad they won’t be able to share the word with their kin.
You adjust your shortsword, letting out a battle cry of rage as another goblin aims for your ankles. This one goes flying into several different places.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Kriegsmesser is a latex shortsword inspired by the mercenary Landsknechts of the Renaissance era. The 40 cm single-edged blade is slim with a 22 cm long fuller running along the ridge. An angular crossguard and seashell-shaped nagel provides additional protection to the 12 cm handle, which is ergonomically shaped and wrapped in split-leather for superior comfort.
Made from durable closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

Everyone wants for their weapons to serve as long as possible.
Nothing can describe how to maintain
Remember that most of the damage is done due to the lack of maintenance and bad storage.
-
Store your latex weapons flat or standing on their pommel - NEVER on the thrust (this will cause damage to the tip of the weapon, that’s not refunded)
-
Use a barrier made of paper or a towel to guard your weapon in contact with other plastic or rubber surface, so they won’t stick together.
-
Keep your weapon in a cool, dry area.
-
Avoid long time exposure to sunlight and don’t transport your weapons on top of your car luggage.
-
Remember about the maintenance, sprays work best for that.
