Kukri LARP Throwing Knife – Gurkha Weapon Replica

Kukri LARP Throwing Knife – Gurkha Weapon Replica

Authentic Look and Safe Material

This LARP replica faithfully mimics the Kukri's characteristic shape, featuring a pronounced downward curve in the blade. The blade also displays an interesting texture reminiscent of Damascus steel, enhancing its visual appeal. The handle is dark, simple, and functional, with details suggesting rivets securing the grip panels. The knife has an overall length of 25,cm and weighs approximately 35,g, making it lightweight and easy to manoeuvre.

Crafted from high-quality, very flexible closed-cell polyurethane foam, this replica guarantees safety during LARP combat while offering decent durability and tear resistance. Crucially, the knife is coreless, making it an officially approved LARP throwing weapon. Its high flexibility makes it versatile but may present a challenge for precise throwing control – you'll need to practise your technique!

History and Legend of the Kukri

Historically, the Kukri served not only as an imposing weapon on the Indian subcontinent but also as a versatile utility tool. Legend famously dictates that a Kukri should not be sheathed until it has drawn blood. While throwing a real Kukri requires immense strength and skill, this safe LARP version allows you to incorporate its formidable style into your game.

A Note from the LARP World

LARP allows players to safely use replicas of iconic historical or fantasy weapons that would be dangerous or impractical in their original form. While the flexibility of this Kukri replica might require some practice compared to more rigid throwing knives, it significantly enhances safety upon impact.

How and When to Use Your Kukri

This Kukri knife is perfect for your character, whether a mountain warrior, jungle fighter, exotic mercenary, assassin, or anyone inspired by the cultures of the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas. Use it as a distinctive sidearm or as a throwing knife for surprise attacks in fantasy or historically-inspired LARP settings.

Care Instructions for Your LARP Replica

• Storage: Store the knife flat, ideally in a cool, dark, dry place. Avoid placing heavy objects on it to prevent deformation.
• Temperature: Do not expose the knife to extreme temperatures (high or low) or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this could damage the material.
• Cleaning: If necessary, wipe the knife with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaning agents.
• Maintenance: To extend its lifespan, you can occasionally treat foam weapons with silicone spray designed for LARP gear.

Rules for Safe Use

• This knife is a foam LARP replica intended for simulated combat, not for real contact or use as a tool.
• When throwing, always aim for safe body zones (torso, limbs) and avoid the head, neck, and other sensitive areas.
• Never throw with full force at close range.
• Always adhere to the specific rules of the LARP event and the organisers' instructions regarding throwing weapons.
• Inspect the weapon for damage before each use. Do not use a damaged weapon.

With this LARP Kukri replica, you acquire not just a safe and functional throwing weapon, but a piece of legend that will lend your character undeniable style and presence.
