Rawblade is a B2B company focused on the world of medieval reenactment and LARP. Rawblade contributes to the market with their know-how of Spanish crafts, a long tradition of furs and leather, as well as steel. Inspired by the famous Toledo steel, Rawblade develops a set of armours and chainmails.

The human team behind Rawblade is formed from the experience acquired at EvilTailors, as well as the various platforms that have been integrated into its collective over time. The hard work, designs, and ideas that make up the Rawblade catalogue are the result of inspiration in the world of medieval fantasy that has accompanied them since childhood. We believe Rawblade offers a quality wardrobe at a very competitive price.

Rawblade attempts to use products and producers primarily from Spain. All their leather goods are made 100% in Spain adding the seal of quality to the crafts. Their foam creations, clothes, and steel are designed and made in Spain and India.

The best made armour is crafted by the most skilled smiths, the leather worked with such precision and care that the wearer can move unhindered, but still protected on the battlefield.

You have commissioned a leather crafter to create a pair of Samurai Bracers for you. Before she is paid you want to be certain it is properly made armour, and so you conduct a test. With the bracers properly tied to your arm, you perform a series of sword drills, faster than the eye can properly see.

The bracers are perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Samurai Bracers are a set of leather vambraces designed to protect the forearms and hands in combat. Made from full-grain leather, these bracers have been sculpted to comfortably follow the shape of the arms. The leather has been hardened and the edges curved to add structural strength that will ensure added protection and longevity.

Comfortably secure the Samurai Bracers by lacing the leather cords on the underside and tightly wrap the heavy cotton fabric around the wrist. Attach the handguard by gripping the cotton cord around the knuckles. Inspired by Asian traditional armour, these bracers are perfectly matched with other products from Epic Armoury’s Asian Universe.
