Single-hand bashing implements
[Rental prices below are for the first 30 days.]
H99 - SPIKED CLUB -
It’s amazing to find the same basic weapon used
throughout history. During WWI soldiers made their own as the best weapon to use
in trench warfare. Medieval soldiers called them "holy-water sprinklers" because
of the charming visual effect after striking an enemy helmet. A whimsical group,
they. [$10.00]
H98 - WAR CLUB - A spiked club can get stuck in the clothing and flesh of
your opponent. But a studded club works well in breaking bones, even those
protected by armour. [$7.50]
H81 – BILLY CLUB –
common large city police tool for the last 200 years.
[$3.00]
H82 – SIDE-BAR NIGHT STICK - modern police standard patrol use.
[$4.00]
H83 – RIOT CONTROL TRUNCHEON - modern police issue, steel rod within a
rubber casing. [$7.20]
Z39 – CAPTAIN’S HOOK - this fully fight-worthy weapon is made from the
strongest steel available. As shown – [$15.00]
H75 - COMBAT MACE - We tried to make it as light as possible, but good
arm strength is needed for best control. [$22.50]
 H73 - MORNING STAR MACE – (shown single and double) is technically a
flail, and combined the best attributes of both weapons. Very difficult to
defend against, it also is hard to control, and can bounce back and knock out
the user. Do not use for stage combat. Costume only [$9.00]
H71 - COMBAT GRADE FLAIL-MACE - all-steel construction, designed for
actual use, although you’re nuts if you try. Stage combat is the art of creating
the appearance of violence yet maintaining the safety of all concerned. That’s
impossible to do with any flail-mace, including these. [$19.00]
If this item is to be used for stage combat (which we do not advise) please keep
the following in mind:
 |
An accidental strike to a limb can cause it to snap like a twig. |
 |
An accidental strike to the torso can shatter ribs. |
 |
An accidental strike to the head can cause a concussion or even
death. |
 |
An accidental strike can happen to your partner during the swing
or to yourself on the bounce-back. |
 |
The chain can break at any time, sending the mace head out to
audience. |
This is the most dangerous object that can be
used for stage combat. No ax or sword is as potentially instantly lethal as is
the flail-mace. In addition to all of the other warnings we have included, we
expressly consider the flail-mace to be inherently dangerous even if used with
extreme caution. Standard stage combat techniques cannot make the item safe.
H43 - CAT'O'NINE TAILS - we carry these flails with either leather
straps or felt (should you need to simulate a flogging). [$6.67]
H46 - LIVESTOCK SLAP – not only used to drive oxen, but also an effective
substitute for the standard horsewhip. [$4.00]
H45 - RIDING CROP – a strong, thin, flexible rod wrapped in leather. [$7.00]
H41 - WHIP – here’s a good rule of thumb: if you are renting a whip, it
means you don’t own one, which means you don’t know how to use one, which means
that you are going to hurt yourself if you try to crack the whip. Please don’t. [A
whip "cracks" when the end goes faster than the speed of sound. It comes back at
your face pretty fast, too.] 12
foot - $19.00; 6 foot - $14.00
H10 - CROWBAR - but unlike a real crow, this is hollow for ease of use, yet
made of steel so it sounds right in a fight. [$19.00]
H11 - SLEDGEHAMMER –
A hollow-headed replica for safer stage combat. Made of steel with a hickory
handle. [We actually had to use this to drive
stakes into hardened earth at an outdoor theatre site. Very strong.] [$19.00]
H93 -
ALL-STEEL WAR HAMMER - perhaps the most versatile weapon in medieval
warfare, the hammer could dent even thick helmet steel, leaving a permanent
wedge digging into the opponent’s head, arm or chest, while the spike end could puncture chain
mail with ease. Fully fight worthy but be careful. Accidental contact
from a swinging war hammer can cause grievous injury. [$22.00]
H91 – IMPALING SPIKE – no
armor could stop it, but it did tend to get
stuck in the victim. [$12.00]
H14 - PICK-AX - Hollow head on this rustic tool makes it easy for any
actor to handle, and yet it is strong enough to actually break ground.
[$19.00]
H12 - FIRE-AX - Another hollow-headed replica.
The steel head (8" across) is mounted on a two-handed hickory shaft, but the entire prop
weighs only 27 ounces. 28" overall length [$17.00]
X10 - IMHOTEP - I’m not going to go into too much detail on these axes, as
most are merely variations on a basic theme. This one fits the look of the early
cultures of the Middle East. [$18.00]
X08 – BASIC – most of our axes are made of a single sheet of steel, but this
simple version is made of two, so it has visual thickness but is still light
enough for stage combat purposes. 7 1/2 " from point to point [$18.00]
X00 - FANTASY BEHEADING AX
- huge blade (23 inches from point to point)
works best on a three foot handle. Perfect for The Actor’s Nightmare or
The Three Musketeers. [$25.00]
X03 -
FALCONBRIDGE -
perhaps the most recognizable of the early medieval axes.
[$18.00]

X01 - MEDIEVAL AXE - shown with a 54" shaft.
[$18.00]
X04 - SPIKED AX - stainless steel head and shaft, single-hand, fully fight worthy.
[$10.80]
