I only know the Werewolf: The Apocalypse series from name and sites on the internet, because its not distributed in the Netherlands.
From what I've seen and read on the internet, it is a "McFarlane"-comic? Is that right?

Thing is,
that's nothing like how they're described in the game,
AND that's official merchandise!
Supposedly,
the design of their blades changed over the centuries,
from a full sword
to a short, wide blade,
which features blade-catchers angled outwards.
I made a prop for a klaive once that had the correct rough shape
as described. It had 2 sticks forward at an approximate 45-degree
angle. Actually the Klingon "dk tagh" is nearly identical to the klaive-
only differing in materials, and in adding a blood-groove.

I've seen this on Ebay for $225. It looks more like a Zulu spear than anything else, but of course the pommel has to be long to fit in a Crinos' paw.
My attempted translation of the glyphs:
"Weaver" (probably a reference to the hardness of metal, or "fabrication")
"Child(?) of the Moon's Land (?)" Probably a reference saying, "This is made of Moon silver."
"Fire of Honour."
"Fabricated out of Moonsilver for Honourable Ferocity."
I made a wooden klaive just as a romp — physical weapons, even replicas, are forbidden in LARPs and what good is even a wooden sword in tabletop? — and the glyphs I carved into it read "Full Moon" "Honour" and "Thorn of the Rose."

STRICT rules say "NO PROPS."
However, every LARP I ever attended allowed props,
so long as they were approved in advance,
and OBVIOUSLY not anything a weapon.
My klaive, for example, was a 12-inch ruler with runes,
with eraser-ends of pencils attached at the 45-degree angles.
Right shape, obviously a fake.

Re: "Werewolf: The Apocalypse Klaive"
Hello to everyone. I'm looking for a werewolf klaive and have been doing so for some time. I'm willing to pay well if someone is willing to part with it. I would be extremely grateful for anyone's help or guidance in finding one. Please feel free to contact me. Thanks again!

Re: "Werewolf: The Apocalypse Klaive"
Since in-game, each klaive was individually hand-crafted, you'd probably be better off finding a swordsmith at your local Ren Faire and commissioning them to make a klaive for you. Silver's pretty cheap these days but if you want to keep it within budget you can get it made in stainless with a silver plating (today's silver price was $18.55/oz).
