Simple Knight shoulders with biceps for buhurt
Simple Knight shoulders are shoulder plates with biceps, made in a 14th-century European style and oriented to historical prototypes rather than fantasy shapes. For full-contact use, the main plates protect the shoulder joint, clavicle line, and upper arm; controlled overlaps help reduce the chance of a strike slipping into the gaps.
Mobility is kept practical for duels and mass fights: segmentation and seating are meant to avoid locking the shoulder during arm raises, clinch entries, and shield pressure. The geometry takes basic shoulder anatomy and typical padding thickness into account, aiming for stable positioning without excessive flop.
For day-to-day durability, the focus is on a serviceable build: riveted construction, clear suspension points, and consumables (straps/buckles) that can be replaced with common tools. This helps keep the kit operational through repeated training cycles.
Reference dimensions seen for this model (may vary by execution/batch): overall length about 40–44 cm, cup width about 36 cm, bicep width about 26 cm. The product page offers material options; exact thickness and properties depend on the chosen execution.
Edges and fixation are made with common tournament inspection expectations in mind (safer edges, no hazardous protrusions, stable mounting). Final approval always depends on the specific event rules and the marshals’ decision, so correct sizing, suspension setup, and post-fight checks remain part of normal use.
