King Guard Halberd - 190 cm

Epic Armoury’s King Guard Halberd is a 190 cm latex poleaxe inspired by a weapon commonly used during the late medieval period. The King Guard Halberd’s axe-like head has a 47 cm blade for chopping, a long spear for piercing, and a claw-like spike for grappling. The axe-head is hand-painted and sculpted to appear realistic, detailed with golden carved vines to give it a rich, royal appearance.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your King Guard Halberd LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your kit.
