The Maker
Deepeeka
Deepeeka creates an astonishing variety of replica weapons, armor, and re-enactment accessories that range from Classical Antiquity to the 20th Century. Deepeeka has been crafting replicas since the 1980s and their products are essential gear for many re-enactment groups. Many swords, daggers and other weapons made by Deepeeka are durably crafted and budget-friendly offerings. The steel is good and well-tempered and their leathercraft and woodworking are of excellent quality. Deepeeka’s products are handcrafted and (in the case of blades, hand-hammered) are a good deal for those who want a quality item at a good price.
Kult of Athena is the US distributor for Deepeeka products and we offer the largest in-stock selection you will find and we will beat any price you can find. If you are searching for a particular item or find a Deepeeka item listed elsewhere that is not seen on our site let us know and if it is available we can source it for you at a better price than seen elsewhere.
Often paired together
Materials are decent, though I question that it says it’s made from Poplar wood. It seems to me to just be a sheet of half inch plywood. Maybe the plywood was made from poplar, I don’t know.
Also unsure on the weight. The site says 10lbs 11oz. I would need to weight it but right now it feels like it might be a bit heavier than that.
My biggest gripe is the handle and hold behind the boss. The hole is too small and the handle too wide, and it causes my hand to get pinched and for me to be unable to get a proper grip on the thing.
Still, I’m going to work on it and see if I can alleviate these problems.
