Bard's Saber

You don't become a bard to wage war. You choose this path for the art, the captivating stories, and the thrill of epic quests. Yet, the rhythm of LARP life sometimes dictates otherwise, and you must know how to answer the call of action with a blade rather than with words.

This foam and latex sword for LARP is often dismissed as a mere costume piece due to its ornate appearance. Beware: snap judgment can be costly for any distracted opponent. Forget brute force; this blade is built for its compact size and lightweight feel; above all, it's known for being perfectly well-balanced. It’s ideal for elegant parries, swift movements, and well-executed retreats, allowing its wielder always to stay one step ahead and control the flow of combat. Its richly decorated guard offers a prestigious style without drawing undue attention. Hidden in plain sight, it waits for its moment, faithful to the bard who knows how to play with appearances until the very end.

Premium Nemesis Quality

Designed and handcrafted in Quebec, Canada, by our artisans at Ateliers Nemesis, this safe latex weapon boasts unparalleled build quality:

  • Safety Foam: We use closed-cell Evazote foam; it is waterproof, offers excellent impact resistance, and provides long-lasting shape retention (memory foam).
  • Internal Core: The high-quality fiberglass rod ensures exceptional durability and the ideal flexibility for realistic, safe recoil in combat.
  • Latex Coating: Made of natural latex with a sulfur additive, our coating guarantees better tear resistance and increased flexibility, extending the life of your weapon.
  • Protective Finish: Our premium varnish is 100% latex-free, while ensuring a flexible and perfectly waterproof surface, protecting the weapon from the elements.
  • Handle/Grip: Made of rigid, hand-painted polyurethane, the handle offers a comfortable grip and exceptional detail quality, thanks to our precise molding process.
