Tools, Blades & Sharp items: For authenticity our tools and blades are real and originally intended to cut wood/ metal/ flesh! Whilst we have taken the precautions below, they are still very dangerous items and must be treated as such. These items can only be supplied to film/ TV productions and are not available for private or public events. As a film/TV production you will need to provide contact details for your Armourer. We have made the blades & tools blunt, but this does not make them completely safe. All are supplied as a static prop only and should not be used in any other way. When you receive your item, we will have covered the blade/tool in tape and cardboard. Please take care removing this and return it with the blade/tool covered in a similar way.
All items rented based on use as a static prop only. The decision to use them in any other way is taken entirely at your own risk and should be properly assessed and overseen by a relevant professional.
