Beginning in about the XIII century, knights’ equipment started to include metal gauntlets. Metal gauntlets were expensive to manufacture because they required great skill on the part of the armory smith. In addition, steel was still an expensive material and as a result, only kings and wealthy knights could afford metal gloves. The poorer warriors
Our Fencing Gauntlets are of the well-known “Hourglass” style adapted for medieval fencing.

Splinted Greaves in a XIV – late XV century design. These leather greaves are reinforced with metal bars which provide great protection and flexibility. We use an anatomically shaped wooden block when crafting the leather greaves to make them anatomically correct. That’s why our splinted greaves fit perfectly. The steel parts are made of 1.5mm
