How to make a LARP safe Scythe OR other large bladed weapons

In this video I go through the steps for how I make a LARP safe Scythe for a character within the LARP system of Empire by profound decisions. This technique can be applied to most large bladed weapons like axes and halberds.

I have built this so that it complies with the one handed rules for Empire Larp here in the UK. https://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/e...
