Tornado Shuriken & Holder

Tornado Shuriken & Holder

Epic Armoury’s Brown Tornado Shuriken Holder comes with a shuriken, and is specifically designed to hold the multi-bladed Epic Armoury Tornado Shuriken throwing weapon. The handmade holder attaches to the belt or armor using two leather ties. A leather strap buttons through the shuriken’s center, keeping it secure even in rough fights.

Made from brown full-grain leather and reinforced stitching around the edges, this weapon holder is built to keep its shape and withstand the abuse of a LARP with regular leather care.

• Available in Epic Black and Dark Brown colors
