Why Choose Epic Armoury Swords? 

We’ve spent years developing weapons for all kinds of players, from newcomers looking for their first gear to veterans who know exactly what they want. Our swords reflect that range.

• Designed for LARP Safety – Built with foam and core materials that meet safety expectations at many events.
  

• Detail-Oriented Design – Textures, colors, and finishes that bring each sword to life without compromising durability.
  

• A Wide Range of Options – From short blades and sidearms to two-handed swords and beyond.
  

• Ready to Use – No painting, sealing, or modifications needed, just unpack and get into character.
  

Whether you’re after practicality, visual flair, or something that bridges both, you’ll likely find something here that fits your journey.

Choosing the Right Sword for Your Character

The right weapon should feel like a natural extension of your character’s story, style, and the way you move through the battlefield.

If your character thrives in speed and stealth, weaving through forests or city shadows, a short sword, curved blade, or dagger offers agility and ease of movement. It’s perfect for ambushes, quick escapes, and up-close skirmishes.

But if you’re the type to hold the line, standing strong in formation or guarding narrow passes, a longsword or greatsword provides the reach and presence to match your role. These heavier blades bring weight and authority to your stance.

Style matters just as much as function. A noble knight looks at home with a medieval longsword, not a sleek katana. An elven warrior might wield a graceful, ornamented blade, while a brutal warband leader favors something raw and jagged.

Even the little details, like the shape of the guard or the texture of the grip, help ground your character in the world. The right sword doesn’t just fit your hand; it fits your story.

How to Care for Your LARP Sword

A well-cared-for sword can last through many adventures. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of it:

• Storage: Keep your sword stored flat or hanging, away from heat or direct sunlight.
  

• Cleaning: A gentle wipe with a damp cloth after use goes a long way. Avoid chemicals and heavy scrubbing.
  

• Inspection: Check your gear now and then for signs of wear, especially after intense use.
  

• Repairs: Minor scuffs or damage can often be fixed with latex-safe paint or foam-safe repair kits.
  
  

Treat your weapon well, and it’ll be ready for the next chapter.
