G'day everyone and welcome to my channel. I'm a LARPer from the Great Southern Land and in this channel I'll be showing off the world of LARP. This channel will include footage from our games, advice on where to get LARPing gear and perhaps some crafting videos. Please Enjoy!

great video! I'm just getting in to tower shields in Belegarth and this was quite helpful thanks
really good thanks
Fuck just bought the sword and the scabbard
Have you considered choking up on the axe while on reverse grip? Gives you something to block more traditionally while still using that axe blade in very close quarters, provided that is part of your ruleset
Hi mate, i just bought the sword actually after your review of it, 😂 .. didn't buy the scabbard yet, do you know if they fixed it?
That's awesome. It's a great longsword. As for the scabbard, you could email them or buy it and see if the blade fits all the way to the crossguard. I hope you win many duels with that beautiful blade.
Have you noticed a lot of their blades have glue marks and little holes in them
This just happened to my sword but i don't have the scabbard the core in the tip simply snapped from use
Larp Butler please make more videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Due to rules, people are not allowed to go for the the head due to, obviously, safety and health reasons" We here in Britain reward hitting the heads! Chest or head down to 0 and you're unconscious. Nice video btw, especially liked the baiting part :)
Just watched Shad's review of his sword and 1 thing that he pointed out is how the spikes on the sword (not sure what the term is) unintentionally functions well as a sword breakers/ the foam is strong enough to catch and secure other larp swords in larp fights.
I ordered the superior version and it's supposed to arrive on monday. So excited. Shame the scabbard doesn't come in black. Neither red nor yellow go well my outfit.
Very nice review. This makes me wanting the sword even more. Do you want to review the Valhendyr from Calimcail too?
I would like to get more reviews out there. It depends on costs mainly or people in my immediate community willing to lend it to me for reviews.
Reverse grip works for a dagger not a sword or axe.
While a dagger can be easier to use, I fought against many dual wieldings using the same or shorter length sword on their off-hand and fight well with them. It takes practice, I prefer a dagger myself
@@larpbutler4961 oh sure you can use a sword in your off hand. Or any weapons for that matter. But for reverse grip, let’s take a standard 1 handed sword. If your holding it in reverse grip you cannot easily perform any over head attacks, any block you do has to be moving (so you’re essentially just knocking the blow away) which means you will have to compensate for a smaller block window by moving yourself to avoid the blow if you fail to interrupt it. You guard will be left wide open as you can’t really hold a reversed sword in front of your body, and the only advantage of a reverse grip, which is increased power and accuracy when stabbing is completely cancelled out by how much harder it is to stay accurate with a larger weapon, not to mention most LARP events have rules regarding stabbing/thrusting meaning you won’t be allowed to do it with your sword. And there is not one single reason to use and axe in reverse grip. Of course if you just want to try it out and have fun then fine but if you want to use reverse grip effectively, dagger.
reverse grip works in larp because theyre untalented. Beyond that you dont need to worry about your enemy following through. once they tap your weapon its blocked.
Hi overall good review but i have some nitpicks First at lenght of 152 cm this should be call greatsword of two handed sword rather than longsword Second if you feel you have not enough Space for the hands you can try put your offhand on te pommel instead of removing such a Nice handle
Maybe command the 2 different box for watch the difference.
While I did consider this, I tried ordering from LARP Box a year ago for another video, and they couldn't deliver to my country anymore due to the change in their delivery vendor. I haven't checked in a while, but I may see if they are able to deliver to Australia.
Can't wait for the 2 hander sword video
As a new larper I appreciate the advice
Thank you for the great and informative video my dude! I am thinking about getting one myself, will probably be the steel colored version since I feel that's a bit more versatile across many different larp settings.
Where was this?
Stuart Park Wollongong
Such great content!
An invaluable source of relevant information on a brilliantly constructed LARP sword.
Another Fantastic Review!
I wasn't sure if I wanted that sword but now I do.
Has Calimacil responded to your concerns? This is a serious issue for such a high-priced product.
It has been awhile, however no, but I believe they have sorted out the issue since the scabbard is made by another company, hopefully they contacted them and sorted it out.
well, you got a new follower
Incredibly helpful. Thank you. I will use these in my tower shield training. I would love to see more videos like this.
Good job mate
Let's be honest that's guts sword
That chainmail shirt on Jacob Scott is sick! Very good imitation! Had to look seweral times at is to spot.
Well. I found this channel. Good stuff. Can you show the fundamentals to Pole Arms?
Glad you found it, been on a hiatus but definitely will be doing a polearm fundamentals aswell as other weapons.
The scabbard is made by another company called Artisans d'Azure. Maybe you'd have more luck talking with them than with Calimacil. Even if both companies are partners, Calimacil doesn't do leather work so they can only pass on your feedback
An easy fix would have been to redo the mold for the blade and make it a couple of cm shorter... this is so dumb they did not think about fixing this issue.
Or keep the sword the same length and add more cm to the scabbard, both can work, though don't know if they done anything.
@@larpbutler4961 I thought about that, but then I don't think Calimacil make their own scabbard since they are a foam weapon company and not a leather company. I might be completely wrong, but I believe their scabbards come from a different supplier, which is why I am saying shortening the blade would have been easier. It would cost less and it would be a hell of a lot less of an hassle. Though, making the scabbard a couple of CM longer would've been ideal. I also don't believe they have done anything with that matter, heck, they discontinued the sword anyway.
@@super56333 that's a good point, make sense that they may have a different supplier for the scabbards. Yeah not sure if they did anything, again didn't follow up on it lol but didn't know they discontinued the product, thats a shame, the sword is quite popular from what I've seen.
@@larpbutler4961 My bad, they did not discontinue the sword, I was mixing them with destiny's swords for some reasons lol. I didn't quite remember which of those two they discontinued, but still, an issue that should be fixed. Especially for the scabbard price point.
That looks a bit like Viserys Targaryen's sword because of the shape of the blade
Imagine if they made a synthetic version of the executioner sword
It also depends on the size of the person and their strength
No kingsfoil?
How come there was no Guts reference in this video? Xd
Because.....i didn't think of it XD
@@larpbutler4961 you should, bro xd
Is it flexible enough to draw it from your back like witchers do? I know you can't do that with normal long swords (only with ~50cm or smaller, which are basically big daggers XD), but I was wondering if it's flexebility changes anything about that.
any luck trying to get a refund?
Have you held the elrendar? I have one and I want to know how it feels in comparison to that. I did not like the elrendar, but this looks great.
I haven't held an Elrendar before so I can't compare them, but the Iris grip with the weight of the weapon feels great and balanced.
I want
Got this Sword and i love it. I made a leather scabbard for it. And me too, i want Aerondight, m'y favorite sword
I hope for Aerondight it's only a matter of time.
Hey would you ever review calimacils new scabbard from man at arms ?
Hmm, good question. I find myself wanting to review mainly weapons, but if I find myself buying one and since it's related to weapons, these parameters are acceptable.
Ouch, that hurts
Aww, that sword was awesome! sorry you can't use it anymore :/
Another video, yes!
I hope you enjoyed the video and I hoped it may help you out if you also have the same issue. I also would like to point out, I have nothing against Calimacil, they are still my favorite LARP Manufacturer and I certainly hope this help them improve the quality checks on their designs. Thank You!
