I will be scaling back my production work over the next year. not that I ever made that much anyway but these are numbered in the 40s and I am getting tired of making armour...

usually can ship next day.
I wear these legs myself. They weigh less than half the wieght of my old stainless legs and when he says 'undentable' he means un-freaking-dentable.
I can sit on a chair with my legs on and have let 300lb+ fighters take shots on my legs with both hands with a bastard sword as if they were splitting logs.
It almost stung.
And I had some tape marks I had to rub off.
Frankly, it's like wearing Mithril. (if you are an LOTR fan)

I dont recommend doing what sir dan mentions above. some things push the envelope and if you are really serious about denting them it is possible. I have never seen it done with rattan but a metal hammer dents them just fine. ")
sir dan also uses heavier padding than the stock I use. you can feel the blow but usually do not bruise. no padding and you will feel the "pain" my first titanium breast plate had no padding and I had bruises all over after duke davin got done with me.

I have fought a number of individuals here in AnTir with these legs so I can also testify to the durability of these legs and well as their design and construction
I guess the best compliment I can make is that I am in MRKS's queue for a pair of my own!!!!

All I know is mine have never been dented, even with pink hairless gorrilla viking types with big clubs TRYING to do so. lol.
Oh yeah, if you don't wear padding, the vibration of the titanium will leave hellacious bruises through sweat pants, no doubt.
These are still by far the best leg armour available for people who do a LOT of heavy rattan fighting.
