Experience the power of the Middle Ages with the armor collection. High-quality medieval armor with historical accuracy may be found here, whether you’re planning your next reenactment appearance, getting ready for combat in Buhurt or LARP, or just looking for real medieval gear. From helmets and greaves to breastplates and brigandines.
Material Science and Alloy Selection
Knight armor particularly conjures the grandeur and majesty of a noble knight’s outfit, whereas plate armor refers to a large category of metal plate armors worn by numerous fighters. Intricate engravings, crests, and other ornamental features that represented the knight’s rank and loyalty were frequently found on these armors.
Here typical materials used in the manufacturing process:
- Mild steel is the most extensively employed and affordable material for Buhurt armor, being really easy to form but susceptible to rust.
- Tempered steel is cheaper and similar to mild steel when annealed but it must be heat-treated precisely to gain the right hardness and endurance.
It is clear that specialized technological tools and equipment, like a welding machine, are needed for the production of armor. High levels of ability and a technical specialist who is familiar with using this kind of welding machine to make armor are necessary for this work.
Articulation Design and Kinematic Joint Engineering
Each limb segment moves in unison with natural motion allowed by multi-axis articulation devices integrated into the armour. Floating joint structures, pivoting rivet assemblies, and overlapping plate geometries are all allowed by their design to resist less and dissipate stress during sudden transitions, such as grappling or fall recovery.
From the engineering aspect of design, the articulation points of the armor shall be oriented to the anatomical axis of rotations of the wearer, meaning those anatomical considerations of kinematic joint mapping are allowed for shoulders, elbows, knees, and hip joints. This shall allow a motion curve to be smooth without compromising the structural integrity of the piece.
Crucial elements such as greaves or full leg armor, gorgets with or without visors, pauldrons, breastplates, and cuirasses are included in the assortment. Strong gauntlets, genuine leather gloves in brown or black, and arm armor in the medieval style, such as bracers and knightly vambraces, are also available. The collection includes scale and lamellar pieces for armor configuration customization for individuals looking for modularity or repair materials.
Breastplates and cuirasses
When thinking of strong protection with a flashy knightly aesthetic, another choice can be a breastplate or a cuirass. Fashioned in the vein of classical medieval artistry, these pieces afford protection to a body subjected to heavy blows. Because breastplates can be the focal point of any full armor rig, they would be especially suitable for those wanting to embody resembling their heroic knights or battle-ready warriors.
Gorgets and pauldrons
Pauldrons and gorgets protect fine areas such as the upper arms, shoulders, and neck. Thus, pauldrons really distribute such protection to the shoulders and often express themselves through elaborate details, while gorgets give elegant yet practical protection to the neck. Mixing style and protection, these are great pieces that can be worn by themselves to complement your armor or within a full matching set.
Arm armor and greaves
Greaves and arm guards are necessary for the complete protection of your body. These pieces allow you to keep fighting and move your legs freely by protecting your limbs and arms and forging confidence in the use of your weapon. This will provide you with a complete and practical look whether you fight in it or simply wear your armor for an evening at a medieval fair.
Brigandines
For all those who want flexibility tussled with protection, the brigandine stands tall as a worthy choice. They give the wearer flexibility in movement and a uniquely traditional appearance, since their construction involves metal plates riveted between two layers of leather or fabric. The perfect armor for buhurt knights and reenactors who want to dart swiftly and elegantly through their exploits.
Surface Finishes, Corrosion Control & Maintenance
The majority of steel components come in two conventional finishes: burnished (matte black) or polished (bright silver). Some elements have decorative patterns or useful accessories like visors or bevor protection. This collection provides the ideal starting point for your medieval character, whether your goal is a realistic footsoldier kit or an intricately crafted knightly costume.
Use these maintenance suggestions to maintain the best possible condition for your plate armor:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle cloth to wipe away any debris or residue after each use.
- Rust Protection: To shield the metal from moisture, lightly coat it with oil.
- Storage: Keep your armor somewhere dry and well-ventilated.
In addition to maintaining the armor’s appearance, proper surface finishing and upkeep increase its combat performance and lifespan. Fighters may guarantee that their equipment stays functioning by selecting the appropriate finish and adhering to cleaning, oiling, and storing procedures.
Ballistic, Blunt, and Penetrative Impact Resistance
Medieval Extreme creates high-performance medieval armor systems designed for today’s Buhurt and reenactment fighters by fusing centuries of craftsmanship with contemporary engineering. Each component is constructed for maximum mobility, durability, and impact resistance through meticulous manufacture, biomechanically aligned articulation, and sophisticated material selection.
Arm yourself with the weapons that contemporary knights rely on: weapons where innovation and tradition coexist and each blow bears the mark of genuine craftsmanship.
