Set out on the warpath with the LARP Raider Short Sword (24"), a brutal, no-frills weapon built for warriors who favour raw strength and ruthless efficiency. Inspired by scavenger steel and battlefield-forged blades, this short sword brings a rugged, practical aesthetic perfect for raiders, marauders, and hardened survival fighters.

The broad, clipped blade—finished in a realistic steel-tone latex—gives it a heavy, intimidating profile, while the dark fuller along the flat adds visual depth and a hint of engineered precision. Crafted from high-density foam and reinforced with a sturdy glass fibre core, it’s designed for safe, reliable combat in any LARP environment. The handle features a black leather-style wrap with muted gold rings at the guard and pommel, delivering both grip and a subtle touch of worn, pillaged elegance.

Whether you’re leading a savage warband, prowling as a wasteland scavenger, or portraying a feral survivor of the frontier, this raider short sword brings the presence, durability, and gritty realism needed for immersive encounters.
