Katana

Katana

The finest blades are forged by the most skilled blacksmiths; the metal is worked with such precision and care that the edge can cut through flesh so cleanly that a person doesn't even know they're dead.

You've commissioned a blacksmith to craft a Wakizashi for you. Before you pay him, you want to be sure it's a properly made blade, so you perform a test. You produce a silk sheet, allowing it to fall slightly over the edge of the Wakizashi. The blade is cut cleanly, not a single thread coming loose.

The blade is perfect.

DETAILS

The Epic Armoury Katana is a high-quality latex longsword favored by deadly ninja assassins and samurai alike. The 85 cm straight blade is single-edged and hand-painted to resemble real metal. A small oval crossguard protects the 20 cm handle, which is wrapped menuki-style with durable leather.

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 creating your Asian-inspired kit.
