One reason I went for stainless with my splint. :D
Carbon/spring steel doesn't seem to rust as quickly or badly as mild will.
Don Jorge:
Bleh I am starting to rethink the whole Splinted Armor thing...it looks like armorers really don't care to work with leather and charge a premium for it...getting a steel set might be cheaper and provide better coverage/protection (the larger the piece of steel the less impact goes through and splints by definition are going to absorb less of the damage).
I think I might go look at some english effigies around the same time and to get the full steel arms and legs with maybe some leather cuisses and a leather CoP.
Sir Wolf:
the price on leather has sky rocketed here lately. its nuts
