Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, hiding and waiting for the perfect opportunity. You ready your Black Shuriken, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, the Shuriken hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

With its low-fantasy style, match this throwing weapon with most Epic Armoury products and characters. Use it as a weapon or neat prop--whatever fits your needs!

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