Technical Details
The Ready For Battle Defender is a stunning and durable medium-sized sword that will make you feel like a true hero on the battlefield. Measuring 75 cm from pommel to point, this sword features a short ricasso near the crossguard designed to protect your fingers during certain sword manoeuvres. The blade is expertly balanced with a 15th-century Italian-inspired pommel and a butterfly-shaped crossguard that fits comfortably in your hand. The handle is sculpted and handpainted to resemble leather but is made from polyurethane foam that requires no maintenance. This RFB Defender is one of our hybrid models, featuring a blade made from closed-cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating. With its moderate style and cost-effective price point, this sword is perfect for new and young players who want to make a statement on the battlefield.

Maintenance
This hybrid weapon’s handle does not require any special maintenance, while the blade has a latex coating which needs a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the LARP Accessories section. Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using Maintenance Silicone on a regular basis, taking care not to apply the spray to the handle by first wrapping it in plastic-wrap. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.
Store your weapon flat or on its pommel--NEVER on its tip. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your weapon in a cool, dry environment.
