Footman Sword
Drawing equally on medieval history and fantasy lore, the Footman Sword comes in 85 and 43.3 in lengths, each built around a 24.4 in blade with a long fuller. A subtly curved crossguard guards the 5.1 in grip, which is wrapped in full-grain leather and finished with a "scent stopper" pommel. On the longer 43.3 in version, a ricasso extends the overall length without changing the blade itself.
Whether outfitting a common soldier or a lone wanderer, this sword from Epic Armoury stands among the line's most detailed and durable offerings. The blade is closed-cell foam over a fiberglass core under a tough latex coating, while the polyurethane-cast handle delivers fine detail with no upkeep required — a hybrid build meant to inspire confidence in both safety and appearance.
