How to strap Phoenix Steel Gauntlets

Post by Swete »

Finally got me some extra small Phoenix Steel clamshell gauntlets after lusting after them for several months, but I cannot quite remember the manner in which Waldryk(sp?) had them strapped when he let me see them. It was with paracord in a criss-crossing manner I believe....wondering if anyone had some pictures or good descriptions to aid me.

Swete,

Most of the holes are strapped straight across. The last two by the fingers are twisted around each other twice so that the strap is still across the same set of holes. And if you natural fibers or leatherthey will stretch. Waldryk likes to use poly-nylon, it doesn't stretch or rot.
