Thanks, Silvanus.  Patricius- was thinking that I like exposed strips on the lower extremities...but I need them either way.  :)

Sir William,

to play devil's advocate  8) as I often do, lol

have you considered both?  :o  it'd be fairly easy, especially in an easier gauge like 18 or less, to add strips between the studs on the exterior?  You could do that just to your bracers and have your greaves made up that way.  It'd be awesomesauce.  To be honest, it's my favorite transitional kit.

 
;)

Seconded, that would look really awesome with the splint cuisses.  Even though they wouldn't also be splint, they'd be appropriate, and would really compliment the splint look being blued.

Yea?  Huh.  To think I had a pair but sold them.  Like an idiot it would seem as they'd come right in handy.  I'll see if I can't talk him into doing me up a set.  Wouldn't need it til August anyway.

You think I should go blued over the regular satin finish?  I only ask because all of the plate bits that you can see are satin.

The knee and elbow cops are satin, but the limbs are blue leather, so I'd match up with blued steel for that.

As am I...just got word from Allan that they've shipped- I went ahead and got a pair in satin finish for a more simplified kit that I'm putting together.

Excellent, so now that you have the satin ones, order a blackened pair too ;)

I would get a third set to give to a friend and demonstrate to all your knightly largesse!  ;D

Ach, you wound me, Sir Brian- you know how much I love my knightly family!  Such demonstrations would only cheapen the emotive aspect.
