Tornado Shuriken Holder

Silence. Perfect silence.

You use the silence as a cloak of armour, hiding and waiting for the perfect opportunity. You pull your shuriken from your Tornado Shuriken Holder, ready to launch your deadly attack when the lord finally emerges from inside the keep. One quick flick of your wrist and the lord breathes his last, the shuriken hitting its mark...and you vanish, leaving their guards bewildered and afraid.

DETAILS

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 armour 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 Black and Brown.

Natural leather products are very durable, but require regular maintenance with leather care products to stay flexible and to increase life-time. Make sure your leather products are kept dry when stored. Let wet leather dry naturally before treating. If frequently wet and dry, increase frequency of maintenance.

Cleaning

Clean by removing dirt with a hard brush, then gently rub on leather soap with a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove soap with a separate damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue and then use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.

Conditioning

You should always condition leather after cleaning, since the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish with a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or polish in circles into the leather. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping the leather with a final clean cloth to remove any excess residue.
