Many view the bardiche as the successor of the Dane axe. It was in use from the 14th century on, but evidences may also be found in manuscripts from as early as the 12th century.  The "Stannis" bardiche is a foam weapon that is based on this type of commonly used polearm. Its long, curved blade is connected to the simple wooden handle in three places. Robust leather inlays provide the necessary rigidity. Notches and score marks as well as an imitated wooden grain give "Stannis" a very realistic optic. A long hilt wrapped in suede provides good grip. This polearm can be divided into two parts! This allows for easy transport and space-saving storage. Screwed together by means of a robust metal thread, it does not lack stability when in use. Of course, the "Black Dragon" polearms may also be mixed and matched in this way. Please do not touch the exposed end of the upper glass fibre reinforced plastic rod bare-handed as there may be splinters. In the "Black Dragon" series, Italian manufactory Fucina del Drago, famous for their exceptional leather products, have created a foam weapon brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with a fantastic design. The "Black Dragon" foam weapons are 100% handcrafted in Italy. They feature an outer coat of latex varnished with a layer of protective lacquer. Inserts of robust leather guarantee the necessary stability and durability. Carefully painted and with boasting a high-quality leather hilt wrapping, the "Black Dragon" foam weapon range will be a trusty companion for a long time. Please note that each foam weapon is individually crafted by hand, which is why the individual weapons' shape and colour may deviate slightly from the image. We recommend regular care with silicone oil. Keep your foam weapons clean and dry at all times. Do not store them in a weapon's holder or similar contraption for extended periods of time. Your foam weapon should not be exposed to a lot of heat or direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This could lead to deformations or damage to the surface.
