Pictures of the shiny:
Sorry for the fuzzies - limit of taking pictures one-handed.
View of the coverage of my thumb, and flexibility: I'm making a fist.
When I got them Robert asked if when I closed my hand my thumb could fold over my fingers, or was it stuck out straight. It sits on top of my fingers.
Making a fist around a long sword.
Only drawback I can see is the limit of the bell of the cuff: I can bend back my wrist only so far. So any moulinet is limited to a kind of cone-shaped curve (w. my wrist at the point), not a full circle with my wrist at the centre.
HOWEVER: the customer service was such that I think you could ask for extra-flared cuffs. They seem very amenable to doing custom work.
Will be able to tell you more after Double Wars in May!
