Warhammer - 85cm

Warhammer - 85cm

Epic Armoury’s Warhammer is an 85 cm latex war hammer inspired by weapons of the late medieval period. This particular hammerhead is a slightly larger imitation with a smaller spike, specifically designed for a fantasy appearance and regard for LARP safety. The hammer’s face is octagonal, and is 7 cm long from the haft. The claw-like spike is 10 cm long. With hand-painted and sculpted detail, this hammer is designed to look like worn dark wood. The 20 cm handle is wrapped in brown leather for a superior grip.

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.
