Unboxing TONS of foam swords/katanas from SparkFoam

[@stuartskellams3438]

I love when nerf users find larp weapons

[@zexal-zb1ud]

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.

[@The_White]

They are affordable yes, unless you live in Europe and the shipping price is a 100$ extra because of course it is.

[@scottn322]

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.

[@GrimdarkCrusader20th]

Just make your own

[@Clackerus]

@Gacha Boy bruh

[@NoctemGaming]

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

[@jiggybonbon6703]

ACE Noctem no, then it would dangle and cut their legs

[@mingchenwei1978]

@@NoctemGaming that would cut off their foots. Same for the samurai, if they didn’t use sheaths they wouldn’t have feet

[@geoverdejo7851]

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

[@Surviv0rStudios]

I can just imagine a huge war with these swords!

[@DamonFyrian]

Just for the record, a gladius is usually about half that length.

[@jarengomes3463]

According to other comments it's actually a viking sword

[@DamonFyrian]

jaren gomes I wasn't saying it was a gladius, I was simply stating that gladius is usually much shorter than that.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

@@DamonFyrian A gladius also has a completely different hilt assembly and blade shape.

[@Wolf_Mechanic]

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.

[@iceturtle-nb6rc]

Roman Gladys?

[@admiralwolf3982]

**ends him rightly with the "Gladius"**

[@FortheHorde93]

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

[@matchlock5.56]

I agree, it looks like it to me.

[@bigshexxy]

These are actually pretty cool, I could definitely see people using these in film making

[@DaedalusProps]

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).

[@olgamarques1864]

NunoL.

[@DamonFyrian]

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.

[@varck7935]

+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)

[@DamonFyrian]

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.

[@varck7935]

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.

[@DamonFyrian]

Varck I prefer slashing to stabbing.

[@varck7935]

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.

[@UnveiledShadows]

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.

[@CptJakeSpearow]

Thanks a ton. Finally affordable foam swords!

[@Hawki007]

No way! I was just looking for a foam katana!

[@altonblue6921]

+Hawki007 Same

[@okiii.]

Me too!!""

[@captaintripps2158]

+Hawki007 google Calimacil they make some pretty nice ones too.

[@varck7935]

+Captain Tripps Yeah. I wouldn't really trust this katana at my battlegroup.

[@gamemeister2239]

One word bud, Calimacil. they make some of the best products out there and have ridiculous durability.

[@Boomstickmods]

Those are cool. The sheath aspect alone makes it worth it

[@alexprice9573]

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cozmecblast158]

My son loves playing with those kind of swords! Really would love to let him try one of those!

[@UnveiledShadows]

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)

[@thensho]

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

[@jaspereras6648]

The "roman" sword is a Viking sword

[@NoctemGaming]

Jasper Eras it appears to be gold Ulfberht sword

[@CertifiedYesMoment]

ok

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

@@NoctemGaming Not every Viking Era LARP Sword is supposed to be an Ulfberrht.

[@andrewridon6128]

I think it's a gladius

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

@@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.

[@venilin5214]

These blades look so much more better than Walmart’s so swords

[@digadigado]

The last one wasn't a roman gladus, it was a ulfbert

thanks obama

[@elykadia]

+TentacleGaming perfect

[@snaza36]

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 :)

[@timothynewman4813]

it's gladius, not gladus.

[@jacktheawesome6773]

wouldn't that be more of a spatha?

[@liamthompson4686]

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.

[@nervousdog6907]

Wasn't a gladius, isn't called a gladus. Sorry xD

[@WillavellarDoesMc]

this looks awesome! defiantly bookmarking this.

[@aidandunworth765]

I don't wanna be rude but that wasn't a gladius but rather a Viking sword

[@mp-fp4bl]

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.

[@FeuerToifel]

the last one seems more like a viking sword to me. but definitly not a roman gladius.

[@dalenbelford835]

[@JamesKawaiiDesuUSkrub]

+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.

[@laudedbattlecry]

These aren't safe for full contact use in any LARP that uses full contact rules. You NEVER use swords that have small tips in full contact fighting because even something like one of these can easily take out someone's eye. This is why most places either pull their hits (a style this would be fine for) or make sure that all weapons have wide tips that cannot enter an eye socket.

[@OutofTimeDateMind]

I wonder how these would compare to swords from Epic Armoury, Palnatoke and Calimacil. I may buy one just to compare it to weapons in my collection. At their current price point of around $30, I'm hesitant to be optimistic, considering most 'LARP' swords in that price range are typically garbage.
