Duelist Sword

"Marcel was a professional. His gloves felt like a fish had swallowed his hand, as the fabric was soaked with water from the relentless rain. His hat dripped, and the feather in the back fell off, dripping icy water down the back of his neck. But Marcel didn't move, as he was on the prowl. His target was a young nobleman who had insulted the queen's chambermaid. Marcel struck with the speed of a viper as the young nobleman drunkenly stormed out of the tavern. By the time the alarm sounded, he was gone."

Precision and elegance of the Vanguard line

Whether you’re a noble swordsman, a skilled duelist, or a daring adventurer, the Duelist Sword offers historical charm and practical utility for LARP combat, cosplay, or immersive storytelling .

Vanguard durability with minimal maintenance

As part of the Vanguard line, the Duelist Sword is built to last with closed-cell polyurethane foam , a material known for its flexibility, strength, and realistic appearance. The blade is carefully colored to resemble polished steel, ensuring it looks as authentic as possible while also being safe for LARP combat.

Unlike many LARP weapons, the Duelist Sword requires virtually no maintenance beyond occasional checks for cuts or breaks, making it a reliable yet low-maintenance choice for long campaigns and events.

Intricate handle design with elegant details

The Duelist Sword's hilt is constructed from durable polyurethane and features a variety of intricate details. The grooved grip is designed for comfort and control, while the petal-adorned rain guard (chappe) protects the blade near the hilt, adding both functionality and visual appeal. The leaf-shaped pommel and the sword's striking primary color with gold accents complete the refined design, ensuring the Duelist Sword looks as impressive as it performs.

These details make the sword an excellent choice for figures with an air of nobility, precision, or artistry, whether they are fighting in duels or commanding respect on the battlefield.
