WMA swordplay hardened knee cops

Lightweight knee protection for fencing

Various swordplay formats have the same elbow, knee, and shoulder protection guidelines. Whether you choose tournament rebated steel fencing, HEMA harnischfechten or SCA heavy, you still want your important joints to be covered by something reliable, lightweight and ergonomically shaped. In our pursuit of the perfect gear for various sword-fighting disciplines, we discovered a significant demand and lack of simple, functional, and lightweight supply. While we take pride in our sophisticated full armors, we also recognize the importance of providing more straightforward options for customers who seek only the essential armor to cover bones and joints effectively.

Introducing our knee cops – a versatile addition to our product line, which can be paired with similar elbow cops and pauldrons. These knee cops have undergone extensive testing by modern sword-fencers. They feature a fastening system with traditional leather straps and attachment holes for your under-armor padding and will stay in place to protect your knee. They allow you to focus on your swordplay without being distracted by the armor on you. When your HEMA/WMA club transitions to steel protection, these knee cops seamlessly integrate into the gear of fencers accustomed to plastic equipment.
