Despite all their wit, knights are only as good as the weapons they carry. Make sure that you are carrying one that both serves as an excellent defense and says a thing or two about your prowess and poise. The Hektor LARP Longsword is just the thing. This LARP weapon is made from a specially designed latex-free, injection-molded foam with a strong fiberglass core. This core ensures extreme durability and a degree of flexibility while still keeping the weapon safe for use in LARPing, theater, staged events, and more. The hilt of this weapon follows a sleek, traditionally medieval design, flaunting a straight crossguard and a scent-stopper pommel. Its handle is wrapped in leather, making it easy to grip, and the two color options – light steel with a grey hilt or dark steel with a gold hilt – give the sword a level of customizability. The Hektor LARP Longsword is a must-have for knights, adventurers, and other medieval warriors.
This LARP weapon is made without using latex but still benefits from periodic silicone treatments. As such, we recommend the use of our Maintenance Silicone for LARP weapons, as it will help prolong the life of the foam’s special coating. Also, this item is made through injection molding, therefore there is a small hole in the blade. This is not a defect. It is a sign of its construction.

For the price of this item, I’d have to give it 5/5 stars. It would be difficult to find a functional LARP weapon that still looks presentable for the price range of $40-50.
That being said, the paint job on the blade of the sword I received was a bit lackluster and the blade itself had some rough patches. I used a sanding block to smooth out the patches a bit and applied a couple of coats of acrylic paint and it now looks excellent. For any LARPer on a budget with a little extra time, this is probably the sword for you!
Note- I have fairly broad hands so this sword feels more like a bastard sword than a two-handed sword to me. If you have smaller hands you’ll be able to two-hand this pretty easily but I feel like I’m grabbing the pommel a bit when I use both hands. Normally this wouldn’t be a problem but this sword’s fiberglass core ends well before the end of the pommel (most likely to be bash-safe) so there’s not as much stability there.

Bought this for my husband’s first LARP battle. Good quality for the price.

This is a perfectly good, durable hand-and-a-half sword. A tad front heavy, but if you’re using both hands it’s barely noticeable, and it’s still very manageable with one hand. There’s nothing particularly special about this sword, but nothing worth docking any points for either
