As a squire, you are up before dawn serving your Master. You are expected to have your Master's armour polished and ready at a moment's notice. There isn't a moment to yourself that isn't being spent thinking about your work. Without your Master's blessing, you'll never become a Knight.
Only sparingly do you have the opportunity to train your actual knightly skills, however. What personal weapon you own, a single Squire Sword, is easy enough for you to wield as you practice your cuts. One day you will be a fearsome knight. For now, you must continue to work hard.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury's Squire Sword is a short latex-hybrid sword inspired by European medieval sidearms. The sword is 66 cm long and has a 50 cm straight double-edged blade with a central ridge. The crossguard curves toward the blade to trap incoming strikes, protecting a 10 cm detailed grip--cast and painted to look like real wood with metal embellishments.
Whether you are a squire training to become a knight or a common European soldier, this Squire Sword is our highest quality gear due to its impressive durability and detail. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.
