DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Orc Cleaver is a latex-hybrid short sword for the cruel orc or rustic barbarian. The sword is 60 cm long from tip to pommel, with a chipped and battered single-edged blade. The serrated crossguard protects your entire hand and a handle cast and painted to look like leather cord, while the blade is painted to look like rusted metal.
With a rugged, sharp appearance, this Orc Cleaver 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.
