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 unrelenting rain. His hat dripped, and the feather at the back dropped, dripping ice-cold 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 viper-like speed as the young nobleman stumbled drunkenly from the tavern. By the time the alarm went up, he was long gone.”

Precision and Elegance from the Vanguard Line

The Duelist Sword from Epic Armoury’s Vanguard line is a weapon of finesse and style, inspired by the longswords of late medieval Europe and the swords of the early Renaissance. Its sleek, balanced design features a smaller crossguard and thinner blade, making it ideal for characters who value precision, agility, and elegance in combat. Whether you’re a noble swordsman, a skilled duelist, or a daring adventurer, the Duelist Sword offers both historical charm and practical usability 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, resilience, and lifelike appearance. The blade is carefully coloured to resemble polished steel, ensuring it looks as authentic as possible while remaining 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 low-maintenance yet reliable choice for long campaigns and events.

Intricate Hilt Design with Elegant Detailing

The hilt of the Duelist Sword is crafted from durable polyurethane and features an array of intricate details. The grooved grip is designed for comfort and control, while the petal-ornamented rain guard (chappe) protects the blade near the grip, adding both functionality and visual appeal. The leaf-shaped pommel and the sword’s striking primary colour 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 characters with an air of nobility, precision, or artistry, whether they’re fighting in duels or commanding respect on the battlefield.

A Weapon for Precision and Agility

With its slimmer blade and compact crossguard, the Duelist Sword is designed for quick and agile movements. Its lightweight construction ensures that it’s easy to wield, making it well-suited for close-quarters combat or theatrical displays of skill. Looking for other thin blades to compare with, the Rillet Rapier - Vanguard is an excellent alternative.
