5 out of 5 starsThis man is a saint! His arm brace is not only beautiful but it is handcrafted to your specifications and is of the highest quality. It looks good on and protects my arm really well. But beyond that he has a genuinely kind spirit. He made me a gorgeous brass bracelet due to late shipping from family issues. I didn’t even need anything extra, I understand how family can take time. This bracelet makes me feel like Wonder Woman. I can seriously feel all of the good intention that was put into it while it was being made. It is one of my most favorite pieces of jewelry that I own. He should see them too!

5 out of 5 starsI cannot say enough great things about this shop and shop owner/craftsman. The arm guard is beautiful and he took the time to explain the origin of the design as well as make sure it would arrive in time for the holidays. I will definitely be shopping here again.

5 out of 5 starsIts a good product, delivered on-time. Ive worn it daily for just over half a month before reviewing to gauge the durability of the product (image attached), and can say it is definitely sturdy. Ive accidentally hit a few things with it when I was first getting used to wearing it, but neither it nor the things it hit took any severe damage. Seller was very helpful in making sure I got the size of my product right for my arm. The only, and honestly really only thing I can say negatively about the product is the small "fin"(?) at the the top of the vambrace, the lether one, after a short while becomes very "free-moving", and I do fear it could someday just wear off from how often it curls up on itself while wearing this piece. Ill probably be looking into adding a small bit of structural support for it. Other than that, great

5 out of 5 starsI got a bracelet from this guy at a convention like 5-7 years ago and it still holds up. This arm guard and the dragon bone are extremely comfy and fits very well. I love how it looks. I'm planning on buying another pair already!

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Yes! I love custom orders! Most of my shop is set up to showcase come of my work but the bulk of what I do is custom orders. Also small changes in size or at my discretion are free on shop items listed as well. Just Contact message me or inquire about custom fittings!
Does the armor come as a set? Or pair?
Arm guards are sold per arm, but if you want a set please request a custom order, certain arm guards I can cut the cost of shipping if bought as a set.
