Lore and Legend: Legends speak of heroic daemon hunters who slay legions of unholy warriors with nothing but their two warglaives and some light leather armour. Through this they absorb the very essence of these daemons; eventually converting into deamons themselves in order to use these unholy energies to become a more effective daemon slayer.

Practicality and Tactics: The warglaives in a full contact LARP such as Amtgard would be known as a "Flurb" weapon*. This is true and they will require a large amount of practice to become proficient with. The first thing you need to note is that dual warglaives is exactly like weilding a middle madu** and a short sword held in both the regular and downsword*** positions.

Design limitations: In Amtgard draw cuts do not count, therefore the striking surfaces on these are straight not curved.

(real pictures will be taken when i have a camera)

* flurb in amtgard means someone who focuses on the roleplaying aspect.
**middle madu is a short two bladed spear with a shield built in
*** downsword position is when you hold your sword pointing down

Uuuuuuummm, a glaive is a pole weapon, like a simplified halberd, not like a dagger.
