Battle Axe Epic Armoury’s Battle Axe is the proper weapon for Northern Dwarven warriors. With a solid crescent-shaped head curving back towards the wood-textured haft, this axe is made to be effective in close combat. The head has a long curved 14 in edge, and its 6in width is secured to the haft by a large gold plate. The total length of the weapon is 31.5 in, with a sculpted pommel and a 9.8in handle bound in split-leather. Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, you can feel confident that your LARP weapon will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your battlefield kit. History First hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
