Protect your LARP sword with a holder
Not all holders are suitable for LARP swords. Due to the construction and materials, LARP swords and daggers are significantly thicker than a steel blade. This is something to consider when purchasing a sword holder.
Some LARP swords can be so thick, wide, or unusually shaped that they are difficult to insert into the scabbard, even in a holder made for LARP weapons. Forcing such a sword through a holder can damage the sword and make it unsuitable for use in a LARP.
If you want to insert a sword with a wide blade into a holder, buy a sword holder whose width can be adjusted with buckles or laces. Ensure that the holder is wide enough so that the widest part of the knife can pass through without getting stuck.
This may result in the holder being too wide at the handle side for the blade. To prevent the blade from moving too much or slipping through the holder, you can attach a leather hook to the sword. Even if you have a sword without crossguard or hand guard, a leather hook may be necessary.
