Brutal Weapons
Here are a mix of impact weapons, shields, and helmets for sale
.
These require more training, not less, than steel swords for effective use on stage.
QUARTERSTAFF - 72", in stiff oak
or flexible rattan. Call for info on the pros and cons for each.
$25
H50 - rattan
H51 - red oak
H53 -
BOKKEN - 40", literally translated
it means "stick sword". Bokken are used as practice weapons for practitioners of
traditional Japanese swordplay, as they have the shape and a bit of the feel of
the katana. Because it is made of red oak, it is quite a weapon itself.
(When sold to Westerners, it often comes with a cheap plastic "guard", but we've
removed them so as to match the historically correct look).
$35
H54 -
SHINAI - 44", in flexible bamboo.
Kendo is a much faster and more modern style of Japanese swordplay, and uses these
practice weapons made of bamboo slats that make a satisfying slapping sound when
striking an opponent, but very little damage. $35
H81 BILLY CLUB
18",
common large city police tool for the last 200 years. $30
Y47 - MEDIEVAL HELMET in black steel with an adjustable liner, reminiscent of the early Norman style,
but with a bit more security for that nose-guard.
$48
Y48 - CHAIN MAIL HOOD in 16 gauge stainless steel rings. Weigh 5 1/2
lbs each, one size fits all.
$55
V69 - PRINCE VALIANT SHIELD -
steel, 17" x 22"
$96
