Honour Kraft

Front buckling brigandine for our client in the USA

What’s new in the workshop?

LOTS OF GEAR THAT HAD BEEN HEAT TREATED.

We thank all of our clients for their continued patronage and look forward to seeing happy faces soon.

Working on a bascinet shape and size that is entirely based on extant examples of surviving pieces from the period. We are continuously developing and improving our selection of true historical pieces.

With every piece that leaves our forge, we are reminded of why we do this. We’re currently experiencing a high volume of orders, and we want to thank you all for your incredible patience. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to crafting your next piece of armor.

A cuirass, complete with fauld, completed for our client Jackson, in the USA. We are very proud of how this piece turned out for you and look forward to continue working with you in the future.

Cooking up a cuirass for a client. Next step, final polishing and accessories.

Looking forward to getting this sent out soon.

What do we have cooking up in the forge?

Very beginnings of a Kusnacht Brigandine.

Some pictures of armor made years ago for our client Ethan, in the USA. All but the helmet were made by HonourKraft.

Ethan had this to say about our work:

“You don't get enough credit for how good your work is. I've had my harness from you for several years and I've been nothing but pleased with it!”

Thank you Ethan for your kind words and continued patronage. We appreciate you!

A project 6 months in the making.

This harness provided unique challenges, but the result of a lot of hard work is a satisfied client and a kit that makes a lasting impression in the lyst.

We can (and love to) build custom armor based on historical pieces.

This kit is based on multiple effigy and extant examples of harness from the first quarter of the 15th century with slight non-visible optimizations for better comfort over the course of an event. This was a collaborative process between SirDuChastel and HonourKraft to achieve the desired outcome.
