Hand Axe - 55 cm

Epic Armoury’s Hand Axe is a realistic latex axe designed to serve as a weapon or prop in the hands of almost any character. The axe’s head is 15 cm long and hand-painted to look like iron. The 55 cm haft is sculpted and hand-painted to look like wood, detailed to appear rough and worn from use.

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

History

• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
• Also referred to as a splitting axe or carpenter’s axe depending on the axe’s head shape and its use
• First hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle
