Aelinor LARP Short Sword – Elven Blade
Design and Craftsmanship
The sword features a striking leaf-shaped blade, painted in realistic silver to mimic polished steel. It is constructed from durable polyurethane (PU) foam, ensuring it is soft enough for safe combat yet firm enough to hold its shape. At its core lies a sturdy fiberglass rod, providing the weapon with stability and preventing whiplash during swings.
The light-coloured hilt, resembling ivory, provides a secure hold even during the heat of battle. The crossguard and pommel feature an antique gold finish adorned with intricate vine and organic reliefs, evoking the craftsmanship of the High Elves. This weapon captures the essence of nature and magic, making it ideal for fantasy roleplay.
Historical and Fantasy Context
While Aelinor is a fantasy weapon, its short "leaf blade" design draws inspiration from historical swords like the Greek Xiphos. In history, this shape added weight to the cut of shorter swords, allowing for powerful strikes despite the compact size. In modern fantasy culture, popularized by Tolkien's works, this elegant curve is the signature style of Elven weaponry.

Care and Safety Instructions
To keep your Aelinor short sword battle-ready for years to come, please follow these guidelines:
- Maintenance: Regular use of silicone spray is highly recommended to keep the foam coating flexible and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store the sword flat and away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like a hot car), as UV rays and heat can damage the foam structure.
- Safety: Do not use this weapon to strike hard, sharp, or abrasive objects (like concrete or metal armor). Avoid forceful thrusting.
- Usage: Designed for LARP combat, cosplay, and theatrical performance. Not suitable for full-contact fighting with hard weapons.
We recommend pairing this sword with a sturdy leather frog or baldric to carry it comfortably at your side.
