Blackened spring gauntlets by Grettr the Slow (x post)

Post by Nissan Maxima »

These are the finest pieces of armour I have ever owned. They weigh about half a pound and are nuclear grenade proof.

Shown with rebated sword from Ice Falcon.

Reasonably priced too, for the quality.

How do they handle with a single handed weapon? Do they allow enough motion?

There is a sliding rivit attaching the metacarpal. So short answer, yes.
