I really like the self-made buckles, bought ones wouldn't look right with the 'Rough&Ready' styling of the rest of the gauntlets

I might have to do a little tutorial on the buckles. For being just bent and hammered copper electric wire, they work very well. No soldering or anything.

Remember when I was talking about mixing modern day shoes with a leather leg wrap? THIS is what I was talking about; similar to his gloves/gauntlets. A point where them merge together seemless (more or less).

Skill Tree also has a video about converting modern boots. It might be helpful. I've been using a lot of Skill Tree videos.

The buckles are what caught my eye first as well. Job well done I'd say.

Echoing everyone else, the buckles are really good! A tutorial would be great, particularly with what thickness of wire you used, how sturdy/bendy they feel, etc.

Thoughts on knives in gauntlets/bracers? Mind you, no Assassin's Creed hidden blade or rogue throwing knife bracers you find in abundance at ren faire. I'm just thinking maybe a small, utility camp knife. Either on the back of the left wrist, or tucked under the end towards the elbow. Thoughts? Yay or Nay?

I think any blade on the forearm says "Assassin", try the off-hand bicep or arm pit if you don't want a belt carry

Not really a fan of this look and doubly so if it's just a camp knife.
I wear mine around the neck or stow it in my satchel and it's ever been easy enough to reach in a hurry.
