Those are sexy, with I had a pair like it, I know how it goes to cut that thick stuff, my sword arm vambrace for my medieval re-enactment is 15oz hardened, have taken a few shots to the the right forearm and been damn glad to have that thicker leather there.

I love working with this thicker stuff but it's quite expensive. I had even made a breast plate out of it and had people at LARP punch me in the gut. They said it was like punching a brick wall! There will be pictures of it but it's currently undergoing some modifications to improve flexibility and reduce some bruising on my inner arms it gave me during battle.

Yeah, my current breastplate is pickle barrel lamellar scales, hand cut and sewn, my back plate is hand shaped T6 aluminum, the rest of my armor is all 13-15 oz leather, did not make that myself but slowly I have modded it down from whats in some of the pictures, I would love to be able to work leather though and have been playing around with it when I get a chance, my new shield I am working on will be edged with 9oz leather lamellar scales laced with Paracord in my device colors. http://s29.photobucket.com/user/Tig.....and%20Fighting

Beautiful work! Hooray for leather-crafting!

thank you kindly!
