Functional lightweight 4-segment shoulders “Hedge Knight”

Tempered steel Harnischfechten WMA armor pauldrons

Who is a Hedge Knight? Well, a Western analog of a ronin, a noble and poor character who only knows how to make a living by his bravery, sword-fighting skills, and some luck. But if you have ever fought with a sword, for a reason or just for fun, you know that luck often comes to those who are better prepared. So, these simple but well-shaped tempered spring steel pauldrons are one of those pieces that make you better prepared.

This simple but well-tested design provides good protection of your shoulders, covering more than enough for the basic armor, and the segmented design and low weight make these pauldrons perfect for practically all weapons and sword-fighting situations, from the SCA-heavy to HEMA harnischfechten to live-steel tournaments and LARPing. 

If you’re looking for a simpler single-piece design or the same version in a blackened or brassed finish, you’re welcome to check our “Sellsword” and “Hedge Knight” kits.
