Tinted spring steel poleyns

Pair of combat knee cops with round leaf

Introducing ArmStreet's latest marvel – the tinted spring steel knee cops, a splendid pair of combat poleyns adorned with a round leaf motif. These knee guards seamlessly blend elegance with effectiveness. They are meticulously fashioned from robust 1.2 mm lightweight spring steel, ensuring indispensable knee protection without compromising on stylish appearance.

Embarking on a historical journey through the evolution of leg harnesses in plate armor, the narrative of knee cops unfolds. Originating from the vulnerability of early European chainmail chausses, a transition to leather pads reinforced with metal ensued. This primitive approach transformed in the mid-13th century into the adoption of all-metal poleyns with buckled straps, a design enduring with occasional cosmetic refinements until the 17th century.

Versatile and adaptable to diverse armor types, these knee cops prioritize optimal knee protection. The inclusion of fully adjustable straps with buckles guarantees a secure and bespoke fit. In the crucible of intense combat, these knee cops not only safeguard against trauma but also stand as a testament to a refined sense of style.

Please, pay attention that the brassed finish looks the same on the mirror- and satin-polished steel.
