Deceiver's Doom Sword – Fantasy LARP Longsword with Damascus Effect Blade (114 cm)

Deceiver's Doom Sword – Fantasy LARP Longsword with Damascus Effect Blade (114 cm)

Detailed Description and Material

The blade of this longsword features a subtle yet noticeable Damascus effect pattern on a dark background, giving it a mysterious and high-quality look. It's crafted from flexible, durable foam with a density of around 25 Shore A, standard for safe LARP use. A strong fibreglass core ensures the necessary stiffness and resilience, while safe and durable tip protection enhances safety and the weapon's lifespan.

What sets this sword apart is its unique hilt design. The crossguard is distinctively angled, with a prominent, slightly aggressive central element and straight quillons ending in a bevelled cut. The extended grip, suitable for both one-handed and two-handed use, terminates in a specific flared 'fishtail' pommel. The entire hilt assembly features a dark metallic patina. The sword possesses a great balance point and its construction is fully suitable for safe LARP activities.

Design and Symbolism

The design of this sword is pure fantasy, though its proportions may echo historical longswords or bastard swords. The striking angled crossguard and specific pommel give it a unique, perhaps even menacing appearance. While there's no fixed symbolism, the name "Deceiver's Doom" strongly suggests it could be the ideal weapon for characters seeking vengeance, for enforcers of harsh justice, for hunters of treacherous beasts, or for those who themselves walk the line between light and shadow.
