"At first, I was skeptical because of the rumors I have heard within the buhurt community that 'indian made armor is poor quality'. But with some reassurance and evidence through other similar reviews, I gave in and bought myself a custom armet. I was not disappointed with the quality, or the customer service-- I was actually really impressed. Joseph did a great job of keeping me informed of what was going on and provided progress photos of my order whenever I asked. Next thing I know, not more than a month later, my helmet was ready to ship out and I received it within the week it shipped out. The craftsmanship is beautiful-- I most certainly will be wearing this to both renfaire activities and buhurt games. They aren't kidding when they say that their armory is a knights choice with a peasants price." 

"I decided to purchase a set of gauntlets from Iron Beetle after Joseph came to train at my gym and I saw the quality of the armour he had with him.  Now there has always been a stigma surrounding Indian made armour, especially for full contact fighting, however I decided that in order to really test the quality I needed to put my money where it mattered.The ordering process was simple and payment was easy. The timeframe from order and measurements to the gauntlets arriving at my door was just over 2 weeks!  As someone who makes and repairs armour regularly, the first thing I did was test the hardness of the steel. for 4130 it was spot on between 45 - 50 HRC.  The gauntlets have since been used in training, 2 national duelling competitions and 2 buhurt competitions and have hardly any damage in that time.  I've been that impressed that I have recommended Iron Beetle to other members of my team and wider community.

If you're unsure I would implore you to give them a try, you won't be disappointed "
