Every now and then you can find an idea in those fantasy tv serials that isn't as bad as the rest of it and can be applied to a larp. No, I'm not talking about chainmail battle bikini. This one will be the breast dagger from Xena the warrior princess. Yeah yeah, don't shoot now - think a bit. If poison cannot be used for various reasons - you still need a blade. And well, at any larp game that does not involve character sheets and dice, guards will quickly remove knives and daggers hidden in the usual places. That's why you need one hidden in a, well less usual place where they'd usually NOT look. And if they try to - you have all right to stop them. I don't have to mention that's a lady's weapon do I? Well just to make clear - its a small punch dagger for a lady to hide between her breasts.
Note: I made it a bit bigger than it should be. However since its has to be of a custom size to fit uuuh...well the user's hiding spots, it was better to make it bigger and THEN trim it out. That's why the grip is so plain too,I should decorate it a bit.
TOOLS - the usual
MATERIALS - 1 old flip-flop or a piece of tougher camp mat foam with the suitable shape, various duct tapes, old plastic bottles - grip decoration is optional.
First thing to do is cut out the rough shape of the dagger. Yeah I know what it looks like at this point, don't laugh.
After that, slowly start trimming and sharpening it until it reaches the desired shape and size.
Then its time to make the grip - plastic bottles are the material of choice for me. Nothing difficult here either.
Then its just adding the tapes and its finished. Decorating the grip is up to you. I decided against anything serious, since it will be trimmed down even more later on to fit a girl's hand, not mine.
And that's it, now nobody will feel safe around girls in larp. Not as if we did before...
