Whether right or left-handed, in most sword styles it's the arm holding the sword, which is most in the fray. With such a useful appendage in constant danger, it was a top priority to find good armor. The vambrace is an armor type made specifically to cover the forearm and protect against glancing blows, which would often travel down the blade to the fighter (hilts and crossguards came into play as well). When it comes to vambraces, Museum Replicas offers numerous options for the discerning warrior to choose from. Different colors and styles are mingled with leather, steel or sometimes both, to bring you efficient protection.
