Caprine Sword

A Fantasy-Inspired Blade That Balances Safety, Durability, and Stunning Design

Step into a world of fantasy and adventure with the Caprine Sword, a beautifully crafted two-handed weapon designed for LARP combat, cosplay, and storytelling. Featuring a detailed and imaginative design, this sword is a perfect companion for characters who demand a weapon as striking as their backstory. From its realistic foam blade to its intricately detailed handle, the Caprine Sword is built for durability, safety, and immersive play.

Whether you're portraying a bold hero, a cunning mercenary, or a villainous overlord, the Caprine Sword offers an authentic, adventure-ready feel while providing the reliability and performance you need for battle.

Built for Battle: Durable, Safe, and Realistic

The Caprine Sword’s blade is crafted from soft EVA foam, making it safe for live-action role-play (LARP) combat while maintaining a realistic look and feel. The foam blade is built around a 10 mm solid fiberglass rod core, ensuring strength and durability during intense use. This balance of flexibility and sturdiness makes the sword not only functional for combat but also capable of withstanding the wear and tear of long campaigns or events.

To enhance its appearance and longevity, the blade is coated with latex, giving it a smooth finish while minimizing the risk of shredding or damage. This latex coating ensures that the Caprine Sword will look as impressive on your first battle as it will after countless encounters, making it a reliable addition to your armory.

The 14 cm leather-wrapped grip ensures a secure and comfortable hold, while the 34 cm polyurethane handle is designed for maximum detail. Polyurethane allows for finer craftsmanship than traditional materials, ensuring the intricate details of the Caprine Sword stand out, even up close.

Fantasy Design with a Goat-Inspired Twist

The Caprine Sword takes its name from the word “caprine,” meaning "resembling or relating to a goat." This influence is reflected in the sword's unique design, which draws inspiration from the wild, untamed spirit of fantasy realms. Its striking features evoke imagery of characters or cultures tied to nature, primal forces, or goat-like mythical creatures. The sword is as much a storytelling device as it is a weapon, offering endless opportunities to craft a character rich in lore.

While commonly referred to as a "broadsword" in modern fantasy, the Caprine Sword is more accurately inspired by the two-handed longswords of the late medieval and Renaissance eras. The fuller—a groove running along the blade—is not just a decorative element; it was historically intended to lighten swords without sacrificing strength, and here it adds a touch of historical authenticity to the weapon's design.

Lightweight and Balanced for Epic Combat

Despite its imposing size and detailed construction, the Caprine Sword is designed with balance and usability in mind. Its lightweight materials make it easy to handle, allowing for dramatic, sweeping attacks and precise movements without tiring your arm. Whether you're dueling in a heated skirmish or performing in a staged reenactment, the Caprine Sword ensures both safety and performance.

The leather-wrapped grip provides excellent comfort and control, letting you maintain a strong hold even during intense moments. This attention to detail makes the Caprine Sword as practical as it is visually striking, ensuring it meets the demands of both combat and storytelling.
