SwordMasters Training Sword

This sword is designed as a training weapon. The sword has NO LATEX covering the blade or the pommel; the blade and pommel are simply foam. This allows the user to add a cloth cover of their own design and weight to the blade.

Since many LARPs require a cloth covered blade, this allows you to have a factory designed weapon- with all of the inherent benefits of such an item, including great looks - along with the ability to customize the weapon to your desires while conforming to the safety requirements of your LARP at the same time!

With an overall length of 27 inches, this weapon is longer than a standard main gauche, but shorter than a normal short sword. This deadly blade allows for lightning-fast parries that can be instantly turned into blazingly fast close-in attacks.
