The fun of Latex Weapons..

Our Latex weapons are foam injected, which means they are more realistic, stronger, and safer than your typical latex weapons. The swords are built around a hybrid rod, which gives the sword it's durability under pressure.

These come in a variety of styles, whether you want fantasy weapons to play with, or realistic historical swords and weapons to test your skills with.

There are many LARP (live action role play) groups that use Latex weapons as their weapon preference, due to the high safety standards these swords provide.

These swords are also great for children! In fact, these are the only weapons we sell at Usableweapons.com that we recommend to children ages 4-14. Of course, parental supervision and proper sword handling techique are recommended. However these will be safe enough for your children to use for either play fighting.

In fact, these swords would also be of great use for any stage performance. Your fights can be more realistic, while your performers remain safe.
