Technical Parameters and Specifications

Historical Context: From Field Tool to Knight-Killer

The Guisarme is a legendary polearm of medieval Europe. Its origins can be traced back to common agricultural tools modified by peasant soldiers for the grim realities of war. Over time, it evolved into a sophisticated weapon combining a cleaving blade with a hook and a thrusting spike. Its primary purpose was to disrupt enemy formations and hook heavily armored riders off their horses, where they became easy targets for the infantry. It was particularly prominent during the Crusades and the Hundred Years' War as a symbol of the resilience and ingenuity of common soldiers facing aristocratic cavalry.

Product Care and Safety Guidelines

To ensure your Guisarme serves you through many campaigns, follow these maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the weapon with a damp cloth after every use to remove dust and debris.
• Maintenance: Regularly treat the foam head with silicone spray designed for LARP weapons to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
• Storage: Store the weapon in a dry place, ideally horizontally or disassembled. Never leave it standing on its tip for extended periods.
• Safety Notice: This product is intended for LARP and theatrical combat. It is not suitable for full-contact armored combat (Buhurt) with steel weapons. While the tip features a security flex design, always avoid strikes to the face or throat.
