Rider's LARP Sword 102cm | Dragon Rider Fantasy Sword | Safe Foam Weapon

"I may ride the back of a dragon and I have a lance, But I love my sword. I can't take my steed everywhere, its the same as my armour, shield and helmet. I wear my sword and my foes know I have the dragons with me."

Don't be fooled by its appearance inspired by Damascus steel – this is a safe LARP weapon, crafted from quality materials for your battles and adventures.

Features and Appearance to Convince You

The Rider's Sword D401 has an overall length of 102 cm and a surprisingly light weight of approximately 405 g, allowing for swift and agile handling. Excellent balance is a given. The blade is made from a softer yet durable foam (around 25 Ashore density) with a visually appealing pattern imitating Damascus steel. Concealed within the blade is a flexible yet strong fibreglass core with safe and durable tip protection.

At first glance, the sword impresses with its straight, double-edged blade and a simple, slightly down-curved crossguard providing basic hand protection. The long grip, wrapped in a material resembling brown leather, allows for a comfortable grasp with one or both hands, making it a versatile weapon (often termed a hand-and-a-half or bastard sword). The ensemble is completed by a distinctive, geometrically faceted pommel, which also aids in balancing the sword. The finish of the metal hilt components imitates dark steel. The sword is LARP safety approved.

History and a LARP Insight

While the design of this sword is fantastical, it incorporates elements of historical longswords or bastard swords from the late medieval and Renaissance periods, characterised by their longer grips for variable use. The sword's symbolism is strongly linked to the theme of the rider and their connection to a powerful mount (like a dragon), as suggested by the accompanying text. The sword signifies the character's identity and power.

An Interesting LARP Fact: Fantasy weapons that blend historical elements with unique designs, such as this Rider's Sword, are extremely popular in LARP.
