Product description
Pair of gauntlets, one for each hand! Fearsome in a night battle, these all black medieval and functional carbon steel armor gauntlets protect your most valuable tools, your hands. Seven riveted plates protect the forearm and wrist, per gauntlet, including the knuckle protector (historically used to punch someone in the groin during a battle, too). Also, the inside of the wrist is protected with steel plate that wraps 360 degrees around. Sixteen smaller plates of steel on each hand cover the four fingers and three plates plus hinge for the thumb.
Of the many variants of steel armor gauntlets available, this has to be the most flexible and freely moving set on the market. Each hand can move so freely and naturally and it provides near perfect dexterity. Provided, you had to go back in time to the 16th century and pit these gauntlets up against the historically accurate weaponry of that time, these would be more than adequate in terms of functional, battle ready protection. Ideally, you would wear cotton padding and/or chainmail gloves under the natural leather suede for added absorption of kinetic trauma. Each steel plate is riveted together and acts as a hinge for dexterity. Each piece is handmade by a smith and may contain slight differences or imperfections.

FAQ's of Medieval Conquest Armor Gauntlets Of Dexterity Night Warrior Black - 18g Functional Carbon Steel:
Q: How do the individual plate segments enhance finger dexterity in these gauntlets?

Q: What is the recommended process for maintaining the gauntlets after use?
A: To preserve the carbon steel and black finish, regularly apply oil to the gauntlets after each use. This process helps prevent rust and maintains the integrity of the functional armor for long-term durability.
Q: When should I use these gauntlets for maximum benefit?
A: The gauntlets are best utilized during historical reenactments, live-action role-playing (LARP), and stage combat, providing authentic protection while ensuring comfortable and precise hand movements. Their full coverage and finger articulation deliver optimal benefits in active scenarios.
Q: Where are these gauntlets manufactured, and what craftsmanship standards are followed?
A: These gauntlets are handcrafted in India by skilled armorers, adhering to traditional late medieval (15th century European) armor-making techniques. Their artisanal construction guarantees both historical accuracy and robust functionality.
Q: What role does the inner glove lining play in the overall usability of the gauntlets?
A: The padded inner glove lining enhances comfort and grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended wear and ensuring you maintain control of your weapon or props throughout any battle or performance.
Q: How does the black finish contribute to the gauntlets' durability?
A: The high-quality blackened finish provides additional resistance to corrosion, helping protect the metal from moisture and wear. This ensures the gauntlets remain visually striking and structurally sound over time.
