It's kind of a shame that only the katanas come with sheaths. Would have been really cool to have scabbards for the Templar blade and the Xcalibur. I wonder why they don't.
I agree with you about the swords they are beautiful and fun to use not only for combat but for practice as well. Since I have a sparkfoam katana I've been training with it day in and out
+Enderl0rd S. if i remember correctly Skalls channel was how i found Dracs channel. every once and a while the suggested videos actually take you to a good place
LordDragonical I recently bought one of these sparkfoam swords. I love it, if it wasn't for your review I probably would not have bought one. Thanks and keep up the foamsword reviews.
I can already see my friend using three of those katanas while cosplaying Roronoa Zoro. Also, site doesn't seem to feature sparkfoam katanas from what I dug into, but definitely a larp katana that i'd use (even for training if it's heavy enough)
Cool swords, but as a Kendo practitioner, I can tell you right now, we wouldn't even remotely consider using these to practice anything but MAYBE kata (movements and form).
Ok, I am definitely getting one of these. As one trained in the sword art of Iaido, I am very familiar with a katana. On a side note, for anyone who cares, the official name for the wrap on a katana (or any Japanese sword, for that matter) is called a tsuka-ito, or sometimes just ito.
+Damon Fyrian Buy from Calimacil if you intend on stabbing. These swords more than likely do not have a kevlar tip, causing the carbon fibre rod top stab through the foam. I know this from 2 years experience in battle group (LARP but faster combat)
Varck Iaido is slashing, not stabbing. So not a problem. The way iaido works is that you draw the blade from the saya (the name of a katana sheath), dragging the edge of the blade against the saya to build up speed and power once it actually clears the end of it, increasing the damage and speed of the slash. If you're a fan of Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X, his god-speed battojutsu is iaido.
Damon Fyrian Oh okay. I am not sure how durable this katana's are though. I prefer longsword anyway so... Yeah. Or Rapier, I am also quite good with a buckler and Rapier.
Damon Fyrian Yeah. With a Rapier it is more stabbing but you can also slash with it. You just have to know how to use it is all. Katana is way different however.
NicoLink That isn't the only company to make and sell karambit knives... Also, you say that is proof, yet there isn't a plain black and red one on that website.
NicoLink My bad then, I have seen many other karambits in his videos, and many csgo fanboys asking what skin it was, even though it wasn't a csgo karambit... I guess this was the exception.
You might actually be right, there are no single color red skins, the Crimson web has black, the ruby Doppler isn't full red, and the slaughter also isn't just one color.
BUMP!! Found them on Amazon a while back (an inevitability, I'm sure), and finally got around to purchasing one recently. Bought it on a Friday, and it had the nerve to show up four days ahead of the estimated arrival date. I got one with a black saya featuring a red string, a circular bronze tsuba with four corner indentations, and black eel skin covered by brown cloth wrap. I'll be keeping this one for the longest time. Thanks again for showing us these, Drac.
I bought a SPARK foam sword online for LARP purposes, as it was advertised as safe for it. The looks were great but and its a MASSIVE but. the foam and coating is no way on earth or any other planet safe to hit another person. These are great for I guess Cosplay or wall hanging, but I implore you unless you want bruising at the least, do not use them for combat.
I bought 2 of these. and they feel AMAZING to hold! I bought one with gold on it, and the x-guard one that drac had. it was 60$ total, but well worth it.
the reason they are deliverd with a sheath (saya), is because it is an inportant part of most techniques.unlike european swords, the saya (and sword itself)are designed to be able to draw quickly and slash with a single motion.these techniques are easier to use, and more effective, with a saya than without
Wasn't an ulfberht XD but definitely a viking hersir style short sword, ulfberht have extremely specific traits that make it an ulfberht. Don't mean to sound bad by shutting you down like that but props to you. Not many know about the ulfberht :)
Pros: -Insanely durable, like, I cannot even describe how durable. -Looks somewhat realistic, and is astheticly pleasing. -A viriaty of lengths, styles, and colors. The only con: - They hurt like crap
@@andrewridon6128 Nah the Roman Gladius is waaaay shorter, has a more angular transition to the tip, the guard is more of a semi-circle that is barely wider than the blade, the grips have ridges and the pommel is larger and is typically a sphere or spheroid shape. This is more of the Viking or Anglo-Saxon style sword (which can be very similar to the Viking style, but also quite different depending on the sword). By the Jakobsson typology it is a Type Z Three-Lobed Pommel with a Type P Curved Guard. By the Wheeler typology its a Type VI. And by the Peterson typology its a Type S pommel with a Type P Guard. Whichever typology you go with... Its Viking Era. and not a style of sword found anywhere near Italy. I do HEMA so I'm a bit of a sword geek lol.
Hey Drac I was wondering what Nerf gun parts would you use to make a patience and time from destiny I was thinking to use a longstrike body and barrel but then the stock wouldn't look right and I don't know how I would get a different one on like the stock you used for the ice breaker Commission you did a while back. Ps the reason I would like to use the longstrike body is because I would like to have the cocking motion of a real sniper your would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading.
+Steve Chen www.calimacil.com/ best larp weapons i have ever used. they have axes and all their stuff is extremely high quality. would highly recomend.
hey drac, i looked on the link in the discription but it is very unclear where on the site the foan samurai swords are at since you can find very easy the te other foam swords but the samurai swords are not on that page. could you give them a note of that? greetings from holland.
+stijnVDA1994 I'm not really sure what the German guy said, but I found the exact same katanas here: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=spark+foam+larp&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xspark+foam+katana.TRS0&_nkw=spark+foam+katana&_sacat=0
HANG ON A SECOND! That 'Templar Sword' is also produced by a MUCH better company called Calimacil. They call it Godefroi II. I feel like this company has ripped off their design and made their own foam. Calimacil is far better as they have a kevlar tip inside for safe stabbing. Not only that but their foam is of higher quality. You get all that for a reasonable price.

MOD IDEA: You should do a fly wheel blaster mod with some thing like that crosscut or what ever with the sawblade thing, but somehow make the sawblade one of the fly wheels. +lorddraconical
Needs more daggers imo. I'll wait till I see how these hold up in a Nerf battle, as it is they look like their gonna smart something fierce if you get hit by it. Though with how the quality of newer Nerf melee weapons seems to be on the decline these may be a good replacement.
+Gamer Dude198 Scabbards and sheathes both apply to swords. Scabbards are generally for bigger swords, while sheathes are made of softer material and for smaller swords.
+Gamer Dude198 Scabbards are used for swords as well. Typically Scabbards are more towards the longer or broader swords, while sheaths are towards smaller ones, or thinner ones.
Not to be a jerk, but the Nerf sword you used as a comparison was actually a Vantage sword, not a vendetta. The vendettas are the ones that you combine to make a spear. Keep up the good work!
It's kind of a shame that only the katanas come with sheaths. Would have been really cool to have scabbards for the Templar blade and the Xcalibur. I wonder why they don't.
Just make your own
@Gacha Boy bruh
They didn’t really use sheaths, they had rings that they would slip their blade through and it would be held up by the hilt
ACE Noctem no, then it would dangle and cut their legs
@@NoctemGaming that would cut off their foots. Same for the samurai, if they didn’t use sheaths they wouldn’t have feet
these are the ideal foam swords, they are solid and firm, yet cheap and affordable, even the "fancy schmancy" katanas are only around $25-$30.
They are affordable yes, unless you live in Europe and the shipping price is a 100$ extra because of course it is.
I love when nerf users find larp weapons
I agree with you about the swords they are beautiful and fun to use not only for combat but for practice as well. Since I have a sparkfoam katana I've been training with it day in and out
but can you throw the pommel to end your foes rightly?

These are actually pretty cool, I could definitely see people using these in film making
Just for the record, a gladius is usually about half that length.
According to other comments it's actually a viking sword
jaren gomes I wasn't saying it was a gladius, I was simply stating that gladius is usually much shorter than that.
@@DamonFyrian A gladius also has a completely different hilt assembly and blade shape.
you just made me cry with joy... I love katanas and nerf. this is a win-win for me.
and broad swords too...
>Viking era sword
>"Looks like a roman gladys"

It could be a Roman sword if a Viking traveled back in time and deposited it in Roman territory.

Those are cool. The sheath aspect alone makes it worth it
I don't wanna be rude but that wasn't a gladius but rather a Viking sword
