Lothair Knightly LARP Sword 103cm – Noble One-Handed Foam Sword
Construction and Performance
The silver-painted, double-edged blade is made of high-quality polyurethane foam, offering an impressively realistic metallic look. A central fuller runs down the length of the blade, reflecting the authentic design of a medieval arming sword. Inside, a durable fiberglass core provides the necessary stability for parrying and striking. The black handle is ergonomically shaped to ensure it stays in your hand even during the heat of battle, while the antique silver finish on the guard and pommel completes the regal appearance.

Historical Context and Trivia
Lothair draws inspiration from the High Middle Ages (12th–14th century). Swords with a disc pommel and straight crossguard were the standard sidearms of the knightly class across Europe. In the Oakeshott typology, this design mirrors the Type X or XII arming swords. A historical fun fact: the fuller (often mistakenly called a blood groove) was a sophisticated engineering technique used to reduce the sword's weight by up to 20–30% without compromising its structural integrity, allowing the knight to move with greater speed and agility.
Care and Safety Instructions
To ensure Lothair serves you well through many adventures, follow these maintenance tips:
- Apply silicone spray regularly to the foam surface to keep it supple and protect the finish from cracking.
- Keep the sword away from prolonged direct sunlight and extreme heat to prevent the material from degrading.
- Clean off dirt or sweat with water and a soft cloth after every event.
- Safety Warning: Never aim for the face or neck. This sword is intended for LARP combat and cosplay; it is not a sparring weapon for HEMA or full-contact training.
- Avoid striking hard surfaces like trees or rocks, as this may damage the foam or snap the internal core.
To complete your kit, we recommend adding a sturdy leather sword frog and a padded gambeson for maximum comfort during your next conquest.
