The Rick Farman Rhombo memorial bracers

[Mark E.]

Good looking pair, those. Ideal material, quality crafsmanship, and look, they would WORK-both for archer as well as swordsman. The knife is an interesting touch-that, and the blade inside the scabbard will afford you a bit more protection than say, a maille gauntlet cuff at that point.
Thought about a push dagger? Lower handle profile, and less likely for an enemy blade to catch and break your arm.

Most vambraces are pretty plain out there...I took liberty myself on a project, and made a clashy set, 8 ounce harness leather with 10 shotshell loops and a 1911 .45ACP pistol mag pouch on each, all leather, riveted/sewn, with brass buckle cinchers. Not Scottish, or even historical by any stretch, but something I felt like doing one day.
