LARP Sword Caelric

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.

Viking swords were formidable and near-legendary in design and served a pivotal role in Norse martial heritage. Created to deal with shields, mail and thick fur and leather armour, it was more than a match for any hand-weapon of its day. Its short hilt, combined with the distinct lobed pommel, gave the wielder a snug grip for exceptionally versatile action. With its ability to deliver rapid single-handed strikes, it was ideal for fighting while armed with a shield.

Made from durable yet flexible polyurethane foam, this sword combines the Nordic Viking aesthetic with the safety of modern LARP weapons. This sword is completely safe, whether handled by a child or an adult. The importance of role-play for a child’s development is immeasurable, as it fosters creativity and social skills while keeping it fun. You can confidently take it along to markets, fairs and other places where there are people around, whether it’s for role-playing, a bachelor party, or a children’s birthday party. 

The sword has an overall length of approximately 109 cm. Despite its sturdy appearance, it weighs only around 510 g. It is the ideal choice for LARP-combat, being light enough for quick movements. It blends seamlessly into a wide range of roles and costumes, making it an excellent prop for theatre, cosplay or reenactment.

To ensure your sword remains in top-notch condition, be sure to treat it with silicone spray, protect it from prolonged exposure to the sun, and remove dirt promptly with a damp cloth. This way, the protective coating stays intact.
