Strategist’s LARP Dao – Initium

Taking inspiration from the traditional Chinese sword, the Strategist’s LARP Dao from the Athena Initium line has you covered. Enact your master plan like a true master of war with this sword in battle.

Athena Initium Construction from Ateliers Nemesis

Part of the Athena Initium line from Ateliers Nemesis, this foam Chinese sword has a cutting-edge construction for heightened detail, safety, and durability. Thermoforming fuses the closed cell foam of the blade together, making this LARP weapon ultra safe and shred-resistant. A fiberglass core in the center makes it a strong and flexible weapon. This LARP dao sword is coated in a layer of latex for longevity. A unique weighting system then gives this Eastern fantasy LARP weapon a point of balance for natural maneuverability. You will feel just like you are wielding the real thing, simply made safe for LARP.

The long, single-edged blade of this LARP sword has a fuller running all the way down the length. All along the blade are minor imperfections, giving it a weathered, battle-damaged finish. This battle-damage makes it look like a survivor of countless duels and battles. This durable foam blade then surrounds a strong fiberglass core which is in turn reinforced with a high weave polyester similar to Kevlar for heightened safety.

Further down, the blackened hilt has a round, notched crossguard. The handle gives you a sturdy one-handed grip like dao swords from Chinese history. Ornate swirls decorate the blade collar, and notches along the edge add detail to the oval guard. You can achieve a secure one-handed grip on this fantasy LARP saber. If you need a scabbard for this blade to attach to your gear, then be sure to check out the Saber Blade LARP Sword Scabbard (AN-0040), sold separately.
