We are dedicated to ensuring that every Live Action Role
Playing (LARP) group in the United States gets an opportunity
to examine and use these gorgeous, safe, and durable items!
Safety
Latex LARP weapons have been used safely in Europe for over a decade.
Knighthawk Armoury believes that the safety standards are substantially
higher in a consistently made factory product than in individually
constructed weapons whose quality relies on the person constructing
the item. Though we know that your weapons are perfect, there are
sub-standard weapons in use. Few individuals have access to customized foam,
injection-mold processing equipment, carbon-fiber cores, or Kevlar.
Created from a customized foam engineered for shock absorption,
these weapons are specifically designed for safe LARP combat.
Another advantage is that these weapons are lighter than most
individually constructed weapons, allowing for a greater degree of
control while providing for more speed during combat! The lighter weight
also translates to less force being applied from each blow.
Durability
These weapons are designed from the core out to be safe and durable.
The Kevlar covered tips help prevent breakthrough. The weight of the customized
foam is the best available for shock absorption, yet it actively
resists wear. The foam is covered in latex, painted for appearance,
then coated with a water-based sealant that allows each weapon to last
for years with regular use.
What this means to you is that these weapons are designed
to last for 5 years with regular use
in a LARP environment. With proper care and maintenance,
they will last far longer. They are extremely damage resistant,
but can be easily repaired even if your baby brother takes a pair of
scissors to them.
General Information
The General Information & Maintenance page
has all kinds of good information regarding these products, as well as
instructions on their proper care and maintenance.
Value
Ordering from Knighthawk Armoury means that you will receive the highest
possible level of customer care before, during, and after the sale.
We also currently have the absolute LOWEST possible prices on Earth for
these products!
If you find a legitmately advertised price that is lower than ours,
we WILL match it or beat it. That's guaranteed, just call us to
make the arrangements.
Our products require a
larger initial expenditure than building one yourself, but in the
long run the beauty, realism, durability, and added safety of our
weapons means that owning a Knighthawk Armoury weapon will give you genuine pride,
real joy, and absolute confidence in your LARP weapon.
The information listed above is part of the reason that the following
live action role playing groups having fully approved the use of Knighthawk
Armoury weapons for use in their gaming systems:
Forgotten Dreams has superb looking latex weapons available. These products are hand-made
and are comparable to the Iron Fortress product line.
NERO is strongly encouraging all of its members to migrate to the Forgotten Dreams
line of products.
Amtgard Many of the Amtgard Chapters have approved the
Forgotten Dreams line of shields for use in their gaming and combat systems.

Forgotten Dreams line of products for their Junior Division.

Eagle Flex is our new line that is constructed very much like, but simpler in design, to
the Forgotten Dreams and Iron Fortress products. I expect to get approvals from each of the LARPs that have
approved the Forgotten Dreams and the Iron Fortress lines as they get an opportunity to examine and
use the Eagle Flex weapons. Stay tuned....
Amtgard Many of the Amtgard Chapters have approved the
Eagleflex line of shields for use in their gaming and combat systems.

Calimacil is our highest-end product line. These products are made with an injection mold
process and ALL of the models we keep in stock have the hybrid carbon-fiber/fiberglass core.
I expect to get approvals from every LARP that tries these spectacular weapons.
Note that products made with the hybrid core can stand up to full-contact combat, which
means that these weapons are usable by those LARPs whose combat style is full-bore,
all-out, go-for-broke full contact like the SCA and Amtgard.
IFGS Only certain items are allowed without pre-approval by the Game Safety Officer
Society For Creative Anachronism Many of the SCA Kingdoms have approved the
Calimacil line of products for both their adult and their Junior Divisions.
Check with your Kingdom to be sure of its rules before spending your money!
Iron Fortress has some of the best looking latex weapons available, and by FAR the best looking
LARP staffs that I have ever seen! These products are hand-made
and are comparable to the Forgotten Dreams product line.
I expect to get approval from every LARP that tries these wonderful weapons.
Amtgard Many of the Amtgard Chapters have approved the
Iron Fortress Demon Mace for use in their gaming and combat systems.
Check with your Chapter to be sure of its rules before spending your money!
Society For Creative Anachronism Many of the SCA Kingdoms have approved the
Iron Fortress line of products for their Junior Division.
Check with your Kingdom to be sure of its rules before spending your money!
Artyfakes is the company that designed the original Ex-Caliber line of products, and they are now
now designing and producing an Action Prop product line exclusively for Knighthawk Armoury. These products
are hand-made, and every weapon with a core contains a carbon fiber core. These
products are comparable to the Forgotten Dreams and Iron Fortress product lines. Their striking surfaces
are harder than the old Ex-Caliber weapons, but they are also FAR more durable!
In addition to the carbon fiber core, all of the blade are slightly expanded at the tip for
added durability and safety.
I expect to get approval from every LARP that tries these wonderful weapons.
