Made by the master Gania Uhaf and his apprentices, these blades are made of the finest materials of the secret alloy used by the Uhafs which make our blades the most prized among the Holy Clans and Families.

Broadsword

If you desire a broadsword, choose ours. Traditonal craftmanship combined with computer measuring precision ensure the swords are perfectly straight. The base cost is $200, plus an additional $5 for each fold, and $1 for each centimeter of length. A custom hilt can be built for additional charge.

Pija/Mansa/Saina/Lanma

The Pija is the most common type of sword among the Holy Clans and Families. The Mansa is what a shorter version is called, a Saina is a normal knife, and a Lanma is a pocket knife. Similar in shape to Japanese blades. The base cost is $250, plus an additional $7 for each fold, and $1 for each centimeter of length. A custom hilt can be built for additional charge.

Staff

A traditional staff, with an extremely sharp point at the top, and a heavy ball surrounded by thin blades on the other end. As with all Rovinian staffs, it has a place to affix the flag of Rovinia (or, most likely, your nation's flag) and the flag of your family (or, most likely, your unit's flag). The base cost is $225, plus an additional $3 for each centimeter of length.

Axe

A simple ax, designed for throwing. The cost is $50.

Maniz

A cross between an axe and a dagger, with a curve in at the front of the blade, yielding two prongs perfect for disemboweling your enemy. Requires skill to use. 64 Centimeters in length. The cost is $125.

Throwing Knife

A simple knife, fifteen centimeters long, designed to be thrown. $20.

Custom Blade

We will make for you a custom blade, whatever shape or type you want, from the best materials and the best forging, hand-made by the master himself. Of course, the cost will depend on what you do, and will most likely be exorbitant.

[/b]Slingshots[/b]

Followers of the Adajan Code of Honor are prohibited from using "Weapons that fit in the Honored Warrior's hand that make more noise than their slingshot. They may not be altered to fit this requirement- such a way is more dishonorable than if they were not altered." Ergo, the primary ranged weapon of a Rovinian Warrior is the slingshot. Through the ages, many advancements have been made.

Sidearm Slingshot

A short, small adjustable slingshot with a detachable brace for the arm. Updated with a polymer grip and an area to store ammunition on the brace. Has a weaver rail in front of and under the grip to put normal flashlights, laser sights, or the like. The cost is $250.

Large Slingshot

This rifle-sized slingshot is not as commonly used, the longbow being a favored for long range attacks by most troops. However, a sizeable minority prefers the large slingshot. Has all the features the sidearm has. The cost is $550.
