These floating knee cops are an ideal minimum defense with a deeply dished single cop that is long enough to wrap fully around the sides of your knee.  These are available wingless, or with your choice of wing shapes.

Floating Knee cops are manufactured from 14 Guage Stainless steel, or with a 14 Guage Stainless Cop and a .065 Titanium wing (less weight, and no more bent wings!).

Minimum protection for attachment to a leather or splinted leg harness, or for low-profile protection to be worn under pants.

Four Lame knees (a center knee cop, with two lames above, and two lames below) are available in mild steel, and stainless steel.  An extended upper and lower lame is available to make the commonly referred to "archer's knees".  As always, available with your choice of wing shapes.

Floating Knee cops are manufactured from 14 Guage Stainless steel, and 16 guage stainless lames, or with a 14 Guage Stainless Cop, a .065 Titanium wing (less weight, and no more bent wings!), and .040 TI Lames.

Great protection for your knees, with full articulation.  (these will bend farther than your knees will.)  Perfect for wear alone, or forattatchment to a leather, studded, or splinted thigh & shin defense.

Free-floating Greaves (typically for use in combination with a four-lame knee) are available either as front of the leg protection, or with a full-wrap plate to protect the back of the calf as well (cased greaves).

Greaves are manufactured from 16 Guage Stainless steel, or .040 6al-4v Titanium.

Greaves really add a lot to the "full-plate" look, and I personally think they are a must if you work with new fighters very often as well (who don't have the best control, and hit -low- from time to time).  Think about cased greaves with integrated latches as well.

Roman Greaves are a particular style of greave that rises up high enough to provide knee protection as well.  We use a complete cop over the knee, with a hidden leather articulation attaching that cop to the greave.

Greaves are manufactured from 16 guage stainless steel.

Think of these as Bazubands for your legs.  They can provide appropriate protection, while being a minimal (yet very appropriate looking for an early-period persona) weight on your legs.  Dress these up with a little brasswork, or have the whole things plated with Brass or Copper for a truly impressive appearance!

Sabatons are a type of armoured protection for the foot, that is typically worn in combination with full (and often cased) greaves.  They are articulated to provide full normal range of motion in the foot.  Available with a rounded or pointed toe at your preference.

Greaves are manufactured from 16 Guage mild steel, or 18 guage stainless steel.

Sabatons make a remarkable difference in the overall authenticity of your appearance.  (and will still allow you to wear your reboks, without them appearing out of place!)  We'll size these to a tracing of the shoes you intend to wear, and they will fit so well, you'll forget that they are even on.

These Full Leg harnesses with 4 lames of articulation (two up and two down), full length greaves, and wrap around Cuises (thigh protection).   Available with your choice of wing shapes.

In-keeping with Historical examples of this type of limb protection, we do interspersed strips of metal on the outside of the legs, alternating with rows of rivetwork.  to accomodate the protective requirements of the SCA, we attach ABS strips to the inside of the legs by those rivets, so that there is full-protection wherever there are splints.
