As I posted before, I have a set just like these and LOVE them. I use them when I fight great weapon and I taken shots in the hands and they're SOLID! I mounted street hockey gloves in them and I have complete protection in my hands!UlrichMagnus wrote:How do they stand up in combat? It doesn't appear that the fingers ground out on the rattan. I tend to get hit in the hand alot and am hoping to use gauntlets with swords as well. Also, is it possible to get them without the plates in the cuff?

Those are very cool.
But I'm trying to think how the cuff would work with a vambrace...

Aidan, is there anyway you could post or send me a pic of them with your street hockey gloves strapped in them? I'd love to see that, especially the underside.
What about just doing a bell cuff from leather with no plates? I have bazubands that cover my wrist and the plates from the cuff of my current gauntlets get caught on them. Thanks.

That is a fantastic color!
Question: Are they heat blued, or chemically blued? Also, if you don't mind sharing, what temperature did you use to achieve the color? (Provided they are indeed heat blued) If you view this as a trade secret I understand. No harm in asking though.
If I was in the market for gaunts I would be seriously considering these.

I used quite strong chemicals and high temperature together. Process is difficult but I get nice and deep blue colour.
Thanks
