Scout Sword - 75 cm

Stronghold’s Scout Sword is a medium sword inspired by Nordic weaponry. The sword is 75 cm long and has a 58 cm double-edged blade with a central ridge. The handle has a lot of detail, including a curved crossguard and ‘cocked-hat’ pommel, both similar to those seen on uncovered Viking swords. The crossguard and pommel are hand-painted to looks like faded iron and bronze. The 10 cm grip is cast and painted to look like woven leather, ergonomically shaped to fit the hand comfortably.

Stronghold weapons are foam weapons designed for tough combat at LARPs. They require no maintenance, unlike latex weapons, and feature detailed polyurethane handles.

This Stronghold blade is crafted using a unique Epic Foam that weighs the same as latex without requiring the constant upkeep. Additionally, the blade tip is stab-proof thanks to our new innovative construction. Lightweight and shaped with a realistic and cushioned edge, this weapon is designed to be safe, leaving your friends unbruised and unbroken!

History

• ’Cocked hat’ pommels were popular with Viking-styled weapons, developing into single piece versions over the years
• Blades with a strong central ridge were better for thrusting, due to its rigidity
