Make Shields!
If you make high quality swords. (I might get one for Christmas !!!) Then why not make high quality shields? BUT instead of making the type of shields EVERY one has. Why don't you make a high quality inexpensive shield, i'm talking the kind people can actually buy, not the ones you searching for saying in you mind. " Don't have 780 dollars... Don't have 1,299 Dollars... Don't have 2,000 Dollars..."
Shields where people will say "HEY! I HAVE 200 DOLLARS xD " Also you should make them DIFFRENT! I mean... EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE sells a viking shield for 50… more423 votesplanned ·

We are working on it. we search for the best composition : foam and core. We do not forget this idea, we will find something to work it out! But that’s a big challenge.

It would be difficult to fit it with all larps security regulations. But we will look into it.

Make a Spear
I'm thinking a boar hunting spear with a Fantasy edge, maybe some runes or celtic knotwork.
I would really like one for a character I play in my LARP group in Winnpeg.

Staffs
I would like to suggest the making of more staffs. The ones under the Knights Emerald collection are beautiful and wonderfully detailed, but it would be nice if there was a staff without blades, because in many games systems, the blades make it into a pole arm, which might eliminate a strict staff wielder from its use. Perhaps a couple different choices? Maybe a simple wooden quarter staff and an iron/steel staff, possibly with a head of some sort. I would definately stock up on many models of the simple wooden staff.

Animal Claws
I would love to see some claws (animal not “metal”) for LARPers who play animalistic races like Sar cat people. Four claws of 12” (30cm) per hand would be ideal. Either gripped by a cross piece or worn as a glove or bracer with fixed claws.

Monstrous/improvised weapons
I would like to suggest the creation of one or more weapons designed with large, beastial monsters/characters in mind, such as a large, unworked looking wooden club/branch, or possibly something incorporating lengths of wood and large rocks. Maybe even some kind of large stone hammer. Small wooden, perhaps with monstrous accents (small adornments, teeth marks, etc.) , would be very cool.

More pratical weapons.
More pratical weapons. There is a lot of low fantasy lrp in the UK and a big issue is getting some proper looking pratical weapons for them, actual swords and axes that were used. The few you do are great and we would love more

Please change the blades of the Squire line
Please change the blade of the Novice line swords: Sanguis, Novice and Viking as soon as you run out of stock of the old Blades. The Blade and Tip of the sword are critical elements while choosing a new potential purchase. I see the current blade and tip of the Squire line swords as a preliminary work towards a more realistic yet safe Larp sword, they look god-awful but are safe. If you change them you will probably sell more thus spreading your great quality swords to a greater audience .

Our blade for the Novice collections are safe and that is our first concern. We begin to change them, but it is a minor change with angles/border of the blade. We will consider it although to see if we can do more.

Allows for two handed length custom swords.
The facility to create a custom sword by mixing the hilts, blades and colour is a fantastic tool as not only are you able to put together something to your requirements but it creates a nice feel for a system to have variation within it's weapons and not simply a half dozen clones of the same sword. Almost as if a master swordcrafter has been building different swords for people IC.

I really like the axes that have been created so far, So why not expand on that. maybe a squire version of double edged axe or single

Create a plain war hammer
I have for quite a long time looked for a decent war hammer for larp use, but everyone on the market is either too low quality or has got the chaos-fantasy-overdesigned-something look. (Scrow for example)
I propose you create something like this:
http://outpostknives.net/pics/xl_WarHammer128_2892.jpg
Or this:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31554G7ZEZL._SS500_.jpgThat is; a good standard hammer that looks a bit nasty without going extreme. Fitting for all human players, and many fantasy creatures.
A lot of people would love to use it against armoured opponents, just for the look of it.The main features I wish for this model is:
1. Calimacil quality.

Warglaives
Well i'd like to introduce the twinglaives of azzinoth to everyone. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4MUf6T4VzPw/SdlKxLzsjiI/AAAAAAAAG5w/UHwbJpyHj2Q/s400/warcraft-warglaive-azzinoth-papercraft.jpg
thats a paper model of the actual weapon. since the blades at both sides are the same, you could use exactly the same weapon in right or left hand. Of course they should not be exactly like in the WoW game but this is the main idea. I am sure even addicts would not complain if they were made a bit more handleable. Well hope I am not the only one who always wished to fight with weapons like this.71 votesunder review ·

Mining Pick
Hi, i was thinking about that you not only have to make the "kill" weapons, but also some Roleplay weapons.
Like i was thinking about something like a Mining Pick, or maybe a Woodcutter axe.
Just something that we can use both in battle and then as our RP chars ^^36 votes -
MAX CLAYMORE
I really like the claymores on your site, however, I'd really like to see a maximum sized Scottish style claymore. 72 inches long. If you were to make this right, I would be eternally grateful, and I'm positive you guys could do it.

Readjust weight!
Your weapons are really beautiful, but as a martial artist I'm put off by how light they are. I'm not saying that LARP weapons should be as heavy as real ones (that would be overkill) but a bastard sword (which is wielded in two hands) needs to weigh more than 450g.
Such a light weapon feels just wrong and encourages just waving about the sword instead of swinging it. A weapon should always suggest the wielder to hold something of consequence. Also, heavier and still balanced weapons make for a more beautiful and realistic fighting style in LARP.
Please consider… more31 votes
