Description
These arm bracers form a crucial part of the fearsome Black Knight’s armor, forged from sturdy 16-gauge steel. The steel has been carefully aged and blackened, giving it that dark, brooding appearance fitting for a knight whose name strikes dread. Brass fittings adorn the edges, not just for show but to reinforce the joints and provide a touch of grim elegance. The plates are riveted and articulated to allow the wearer freedom of movement while still offering solid defense against blades and blows. When worn over a padded black gambeson, these bracers help complete the intimidating silhouette of a warrior ready for battle or tournament alike.

Fun Fact: In medieval times, arm bracers like these were often custom-fitted to the knight’s arm, as mobility was just as important as protection. Blackened steel finishes were sometimes achieved through a process called bluing, which helped guard against rust while giving the armor a distinctive dark sheen.
