In this video I outline the steps that I have settled on for making LARP weapons. These steps can be applied to making more or less any type of LARP safe sword or dagger. I build my weapons to pass the weapons standards at ‘Empire’ LARP event by profound decisions. Each event is different but there is a very active community online where you will be able to find help and advice for each and every system. Go check out my other bits!
