Saber Glove

If a lame cuff were sewn onto a foil/epee glove would it be legal?

I can't think of a reason why not, so long as it had the necessary overlap on the inside of the glove...

If you do it right, I don't see why not.

They come that way, afterall.

You have to make sure that the material that you are sewing on will not catch a blade. If the armorer thinks it will s/he has the right to fail it due to safety. Why go through that trouble and just buy an over-glove cuff?

Well, if you have a bunch of lame`s with dead spots, yeah, you could do that. But as was stated before, you have to make sure that the lame` material goes under the edge of the cuff.

That's basically how the Armor Two-S will be....the same Armor 2 with the addition of lame for the target area.....

Now if only my maker would get the proto correct...

I want to see the machine you use to do this with.

I have to repair gloves all the time and some repairs like this one require a certain type of sewing machine.

Now, if you take out a needle and thread, make a night of it.

I was planing on taking it to a tailor but you can always use a regular machine with a denim needle and just go slowly
