These demi-gauntlets are crafted from 16 gauge steel. The interior is blackened and a leather strap is fitted for the palm to grip upon. These gauntlets are a good basis to begin with in creating demi-gauntlets to use. They will likely need some modification to best fit your individual hand.

    A little work can make these great I bought a set of these to prevent my friends Savage blows to the back of my hand while broadsword fighting. Right out of the box, I knew they were going to need a little work due to the one size fits most concept. I needed them to have a tight fit do the size of the back of my hand so they would fit underneath the hilt of a basket hilt broadsword. I did some hammering with a rubber mallet and now they fit spectacular. I decided the best thing to do to keep them exactly where I wanted them was to use contact cement and glue them to the backside of a pair of gloves, leaving the original strap in place. They are very functional now and stay right where I need them. I have fairly large hands and these do the trick for me.

    “Those gauntlets you’ve been dreaming about… ”

    Waited a long time for Kult to have these back in stock. The wait was worth it’s weight in steel. For what’s paid ($96.95 USD circa Dec. 2022) a tremendous allowance of mobility and defense is afforded. These gauntlets are both visually striking and well countered in the shape of the human hand to fit any humans hand. Though lacking the final polish and finish of more expensive works the demi gauntlet is robust enough to easily fend off genuine threats to the hand while allowing for enough dexterity to open car doors or text loved ones. Rated at 16 gauge mild steel, with deliberate and reinforcing contouring, these are genuine plate demi-gauntlets no doubt ready for years of wear and tear.

    Without gloves or adjustment to the one central strap the gloves WILL slide wildly on your hand, however using even knit finger-less gloves can mitigate this sliding to decent effect. More robust gloves such as kevlar-hard-knuckle gloves (or motorcycle type gloves) can be inserted into the gauntlet to achieve great fitment and a nearly interlocking system. This leather strap point is undoubtedly the single weakest aspect of the gauntlet; However this strap is not near as weak as it sounds as it also allows any individual, thusly any hand, to experience donning the plate gauntlets. For that aforementioned reason alone I may suggest gloves for fitment rather than modifying the strap length. Though I have none to test with I may suggest padded gambeson glove or mittens, especially of brigandine variety, would provide incredible protection in combination with the demi gauntlet: likely rivaling the protection of most plate gauntlets seen today.

    In conclusion for what is paid the value is excellent. I really couldn’t be happier. With timeless visual styling that hearkens to both Knights and Samurai alike, these gauntlets are equal protection and/or fashion statement all in one package. Impress your friends, fend off your enemies, or just plain accessorize your gloves.

    I would highly recommend these gauntlets to any poor fellow or budget biased man at arms.
