The rondels allow you to simply bat away an incoming blow with the most contemptuous of back hands. They're not pretty, but they're certainly effective.
Every fencer knows that the most common injury occurs to the hands. One improper block can easily leave you with a broken finger, which is an annoying inconvenience when attempting to practice.
You invested in Rondel Hand Protection to prevent the usual bumps and bruises while sparring. It has served you quite well. Well enough that you still have all ten of your fingers!
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Rondel Hand Protection is a round plate designed to protect the knuckles and back of the hand in combat without compromising manoeuvrability. The plate is forged to fit over the hand using a durable and adjustable leather strap that fits across the palm. The steel fits most comfortably over your own leather glove.
Made from galvanized mild steel with rolled edges, this Rondel Hand Protection is a simple and affordable way to add plate protection to your costume. With its low-fantasy and neutral appearance, it can easily be paired with other Epic Armoury metal works.
