The fine powder particles will be drawn to the blade while the heavier powder particles will fall past the blade. The powder should then removed from the blade with another cloth wiping over the spine from hilt to tip in one direction. Remember, you are simply removing the powder and excess oil at this point – you’re not polishing nor do you want to scratch the blade.

The Romans adopted it when they switched from the military formation of the hoplite phalanx used by the Greeks, to the formation with maniples. In the former, the soldiers carried a round shield, which the called a clipeus. The scutum was a much larger shield. Originally it was an oblong and convex shield. By the first century BC it had developed into the rectangular, semi-cylindrical shield that is popularly associated with the scutum in modern times. This secondary version is the type sold here. This was not the only shield the Romans used; Roman shields were of varying types depending on the role of the soldier who carried it.

Though originally made from hammered bronze, boiled leather became commonly used.  It typically depicted in Greek and Roman symbols and was worn by generals and emperors. Archaeological finds indicate that simpler cuirass armor was worn under combat situations, but artistically decorated versions were found as well.

The more traditional method is to hold the blade vertically and tap the ball every few inches along the spine. The fine powder particles will be drawn to the blade while the heavier powder particles will fall past the blade. The powder should then removed from the blade with another cloth wiping over the spine from hilt to tip in one direction. Remember, you are simply removing the powder and excess oil at this point – you’re not polishing nor do you want to scratch the blade.

Beginning in the eleventh century, European soldiers and knights relied on chain mail for protection.  In the twelfth century, chain mail shirts with longer, narrower sleeves replaced the original design, many of which had chain mail mittens.  These attached at the lower edge of the sleeve, protected the wearer's hands from cuts and lacerations during combat.  Unfortunately, these did not protect against crushing blows. In the early fourteenth century, armorers began to design fully articulated plate armor: which protected the body from blows.  From this, the development of hand protection in the form of gauntlets made of overlapping plates of steel was developed.  These were created both in the fingerless \"mitten\" style as well as the fully fingered \"glove\" style (which though still ungainly and less comfortable in cold weather, permitted full use of all of the fingers). This gauntlet is made from 20 gauge steel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKnight Helmet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Great Helm helmet, also known and the crusader helmet, pot helm, bucket helm or barrel helm, is a helmet used by knights during the high middle ages.  During the crusades, the helmet rose in popularity due to its extensive protective covering and lifting face mask.  This allowed crusaders to wear the helmet in and out of battle with greater comfort, increasing protection through dangerous regions in their journey.  The barreled style of the great helm was used by knights during the 13\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 14\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries.  This design evolved into the frog-mouth helm used in jousting competitions.  This helmet is made of mild 20-gauge steel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eKnight Shield\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Knights Templar shield was the shield style used during the crusades.  The shields of the crusaders were generally triangular shape, with some variation.
