BEWARE THE WOODSMAN FOR HE STALKS THESE LANDS
Epic Armoury Hirdsman Throwing Axe as a latex throwing weapon, inspired by the throwing axes of the early migration period. The fearsome Frankish tribesmen were known for breaking the lines of the Roman legions by throwing these heavy-headed axes, splitting the legionaries’ shields to devastating effect. Epic Armoury’s version has a heavy one-edged blade shaped to look like a mundane garden-variety chestnut-wood-grain decorate utility axe.

Everyone wants for their weapons to serve as long as possible.
Nothing can describe how to maintain
Remember that most of the damage is done due to the lack of maintenance and bad storage.
-
Store your latex weapons flat or standing on their pommel - NEVER on the thrust (this will cause damage to the tip of the weapon, that’s not refunded)
-
Use a barrier made of paper or a towel to guard your weapon in contact with other plastic or rubber surface, so they won’t stick together.
-
Keep your weapon in a cool, dry area.
-
Avoid long time exposure to sunlight and don’t transport your weapons on top of your car luggage.
-
Remember about the maintenance, sprays work best for that.
