I want to buy just the gadlings and/or finger plates for finger guantlets. I need them to be:

1. Ground out on rattan
2. Be light
3. Fit a size medium gloved hand
4. Include thumbs
5. 18ga stainless or better

I can make the rest. I just don't have the tools to do gadlings. Or the time. :roll:

If you feel more comfortable PMing quotes, that's fine.
Thanks

You want all the finger plates or just the knuckle gadlings?

Man, :lol: just when I think I'm talking all smart I find out I'm ignorant.

I want all the finger pieces, please.

Pretty sure rough from the hammer sells a kit

Cet does them.
I can do them.

Postage from RFTH is going to be cheaper though... And I'm not likely to charge much less than Cet for the plates. :)

I like the price from RFTH, but I didn't see any pics or detailed info. I sent an email.

I just saw pics of the RFTH finger plates and they don't ground out. If you can make a set that ground out around that price I would be interested.

I can do them in mild for around that price yes. grounding at the knuckle and fingertip.

16Ga because I've run out of 18. :)

Let me know when you get some more 18ga stainless in. Id like them to be light. Thanks.

I've never had 18ga stainless, only mild.

I avoid working stainless wherever possible.

OK, so still looking for an armorer who'll make these. I need them in something like 18ga stainless and they MUST ground out on rattan. I have seen a few sets already that do not. A point in the right direction would be great, too. Thanks
