FOR FIGHTERS & FENCERS

Armory

Rapier tips with a built-in wear line at the legal 3 mm. Lamellar that can take a beating: tumbled smooth so the edges won't chew your lacing, heat-treated 410 for plates that actually harden, and patterns nobody else keeps in print.

VIGILS & ELEVATIONS

Their moment needs a head start.

Peerage medallions are made one at a time: mockups, revisions, then hand-finished metal. Once you approve the final design, it ships in about two weeks. Tell us the vigil date and we'll tell you honestly whether we can make it — we never show off a piece without permission, since some of these are still secrets.

ANOTHER ONE OF OUR MANY CORONETS, MID BUILD

Hollis and Josh, in San Antonio

We're a family workshop, and we make what we love — steel and software alike. Hollis does the medallions and the brightwork; between us there's a 2 kW fiber laser, a bench full of files, and a habit of saying yes to hard pieces.

We fight in the SCA, so the armor has to pass inspection. We answer our own email, and we never show off a piece before the person who earned it has seen it.

Word from the field

4.9 OUT OF 5 STARS · ALMOST 300 REVIEWS ACROSS ALL OUR MARKETPLACES

  • For a Peerage vigil

    “I cannot praise the work of Hollis and Josh Handel enough. They made this for a friend who got their OGR this weekend at Crown Tourney… taking my idea for a design (the OGR badge over her heraldry) and turning it into a reality… the final product speaks for itself.”

    Justin — Custom SCA Peerage Medallions

  • Tested in rattan combat

    “Great quality — my lamellar looks and fits great. Using it for SCA rattan combat.”

    Orion — Visby Lamellar Plates

  • “Surprise me”

    “The owner reached out to me and asked what design I wanted on the flip side. I told them to surprise me, and I am very, very pleased! Cool coin with truly unique feel to it, like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”

    Thaddeus — Deep Engraved Truchet Tile Coin
