LARP Pickaxe Korin

Description of the Product

Live-action role-playing (LARPing) is a type of role-playing game in which participants immerse themselves in the story by dressing up as their chosen character. The two main requirements for LARP gear are realism and safety; for proper immersion weapons and other items have to be as authentic looking as possible, but many LARP-activities can be quite high energy, so the equipment also needs to be safe for all involved. As a result ever more realistic and safer LARP weapons have been developed as the hobby has grown in popularity.

Pickaxes can be dated back to prehistoric times, when they were made from deer antlers. It has been used as a primary tool in mining, but also as a weapon since antiquity. 

Made from durable yet flexible polyurethane foam, this pickaxe combines the rugged miner aesthetic with the safety of modern LARP weapons.

You can confidently take the pickaxe along to markets, fairs and other places where there are people around, whether it’s for role-playing or a children’s birthday party.
