Clamshell Gauntlets – 16 Gauge Steel

Description

These 16-gauge Medieval Clamshell Gauntlets (Type B) combine durable steel protection with smooth hand movement. Each gauntlet is built from overlapping mild steel plates that shield fingers, knuckles, and wrists, all riveted together in the traditional clamshell style seen in knightly armour.

The interior is lined with soft black suede leather, giving comfort during extended wear and a reliable grip on swords, polearms, and other weapons. Adjustable leather straps provide a secure, custom fit, while the fully articulated finger plates ensure these gauntlets remain practical in use.

Whether completing a knight’s kit, using them for controlled combat training, or displaying them as part of a medieval armour collection, these gauntlets deliver authenticity, strength, and usability.
