not to be mean, but at that price range, you'd be more likely to find finger gauntlets that are out-sourced and mass produced.... so the quality would be poor at best... I speak from experience of making finger gauntlets.... you'd better luck finding clamshells in that range....
good luck!

Re:
It helps if you take your rattan sword (after all shaping and before edging and any taping) and soak some epoxy in the place where the handle meets the blade , which will eventually be covered by the crossguard. After it dries just sand it a bit. This does not stiffen any part of the blade, but mak...

So to give you a little background to this story... Eirik was running a "pre-war sale" just before Gulf Wars... which I jumped on... At the last minute, it turned out we couldn't go. So, I made arrangements with Eirik that a friend of mine pick up my rattan and bring it back home... Long story short...

I never personally tried this, but one of my buddies told me that you can soak the rattan, stick it in a length of schedule 40 pvc, and let it dry to straighten rattan...
