War Scythe

Epic Armoury’s War Scythe is a 23.6in latex short axe with a 7.8in blade. The weapon is entirely hand-painted with wood-grain and metal finishes. The blade is angled and designed to match the realism of the traditionally shaped handle, with a deadly hook at the end inspired by the weapons that could rip through armor, as well as more obvious farmer’s tool!

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.

History

• Designed as a weapon against armored opponents at close range
• Considered an improvised weapon used by peasants in uprisings, whereas the blade would have been rotated to appear more spear-like
• Typically attached to a pole and used as a farming tool
