Its picture ends up all over the website because everyone thinks it looks so darn cool and warehouse staffers get into fist fights over who gets to use it in our weekly warehouse tournaments. This LARP Cutlass is one of those weapons. That said, The Stormrunner is actually a perfect sword for dark, swarthy, piratey, roguish types. Not just any of these mind you. I'm talking Pirate Captain, Thieve's Guild leader, King's surly bastard, etc. And if you're into the Cthulhu mythos, it's perfect for you too! (more on that later). This LARP saber features a giant kraken surrounding a skull that bears a jewel in it's mouth. There is some argument, though, among the Strongblade employees that it might actually be a Cthulhu beast. Either way, it's pretty damn scary looking and its eyes are set into the pommel of the sword. The entire sword is actually an amazing piece of piratey beauty; the intricate details of the finger guard, the decorated border that outlines the entire guard and the astonishing detail work on the grip (you can actually see individual 'stitches' on it). It also has a fairly detailed horse head at the end of the finger guard. The sword features a fiberglass core that is fused to the foam for durability and security. The longer version of this sword features a hybrid performance core that is a little more rigid than the fiberglass one on the shorter one. The large version is absolutely dreamy, although the balance is slightly awkward for slashing - much better at thrusting. The shorter version is snappy and fun, though not as rigid as the long. About our Conqueror Series Swords ur Conqueror line of foam swords are the most realistic foam swords that we have ever seen. The molding process and high quality foam used on these weapons allows for an amazing amount of detail and the designs take full advantage of this. And though great looking, their durability may be even more impressive. Two different styles of spine rods on the Conqueror series allow you to customize your game. One style is made of fiberglass and reinforced with polyester for strength and power. The other style is made from a carbon/fiberglass combination. These latter are considered the "Performance Series" and have a little more spring and a bit more durability to them,but not so much that you'll really notice when using it. Both styles are extremely durable and are fused with the blade and pommel to prevent slippage or torquing. Our Conqueror lines are relatively realistic in weight (about 1 pound or more) and feature a more "rubbery" feel to them. . These are monstrously durable and have a legendary lifespan. They can be twisted and torqued like a wet rag and they will still return to true form instantly. Safety is top notch on these, with tip flex-enforcers and a good thickness of foam throughout. The Conqueror series weapons made from a proprietary foam with no latex at all. The molding process allows all of the elements -- the composite rod, reinforced tip and quality polymers to merge into one solid item. The foam is insanely durable -- it resists puncturers and returns to shape no matter how much you deform it. A fiber matrix of fiberglass and nylon (or Kevlar/polymer depending on the weapon) increases the safety and creates a progressive absorption for less painful hits. Weather resistance is another great strength on these. These weapons have been immersed in water for two weeks and then dried in the sun without any damage whatsoever. The Conqueror series can be used at almost any temperature. -22 degrees Farenheit up to 212 degrees Farenheit (for those of you playing on one of Jupiter's moons). The foam stays soft, no matter the temperature. With all the technological features, you sometimes forget that there are works of art. Perhaps the best looking swords on the market.
