Thrand is the best friend ever! I'm jealous, that is some really nice armor. It's gonna hurt to watch it get scratched but it looks very durable. I can't wait to yall spar in it.
Just so you know.
You guys totally sold me on this armor xD Buying a set next month as a birthday gift to myself. Don't tell my wife.
happy birthday eldgrim!
Thanks!
Hahaha, awesome surprise! Congrats!!!
I've seen iron mountain's video on their armor and we never got to see the armor up close, and now that I've seen it in detail it's amazing! It looks fantastic.
Eldgrim reaction to the second suit. Like a kid in a candy store I love it
"I am not a little kid!"
Today you were.
LOL
Looks good. Not my personal taste, but it looks good regardless.
I just discovered this channel. I have been a bujinkan practitioner for the last 6 months but have kept up with the art for several years now. I have had my eye on a set of this armor but there isn't a ton of good info out there so I was excited when I found this video on the samurai armor facebook page. I instantly fell in love with this channel and look forward to exploring the rest of the content.
Huzzah!
Nice armors, T & T!
Great to see my Patreon coins (though few as they are) going to good use!
Keep these great videos coming, really appreciate them!
Damn nice!
Metatron has some nice reviews and insights on this same armor.
Really looking forward to the reviews you guys will bring.
Congrats... Awesome show!
What a very very nice surprise!!!
Yes awesome gift and surprise we have video in the works for you soon.
We need to redo some of the fighting with yari in both armors soon :D
ThegnThrand hahaha no FUCKING TEST THE DAMN ARMOR I WANNA SEE HOW IT HOLDS UP TO SUPERIOR EUROPEAN TECHNOLOGY
THE Anthony Cummins?! If you are, you study Ninjutsu correct? I Train in Bushido and Ninjutsu mixed together. Someday I'll be capable of affording my own Yoroi from Iron Mountain Armory. I just hope they're as willing as they say to join a Hangout account. If you'd like to be Invited I have a Hangout, my Gmail Address is, "Shonkiiwarrior32@gmail.com" . Not many are on yet. But I'm leaning towards that.
Great video on the armor and loved seeing Eldgrim's reaction. He was looking a little sad not being able to play with the "new toy", so Thrand you timed it perfectly! We are all looking forward to see all the future videos and discoveries you guys make with the armor. So glad to be apart of it and able to work with all of your loyal viewers!
I was not expecting anything other than the Nimado Elite Armor, and when I realized that it only fit Thrand I admit to feeling a bit crestfallen. Totally caught me by surprise when I saw that extra suit in the box. By the way, what do you call that armor?
I certainly don't blame you feeling that way. Wearing custom fitted armor is quite a nice feeling and owning it is even better. I am glad he was able to keep it a surprise.
That is actually a new model suit yet to be named. We are taking suggestions if you would like to suggest one.
I will definitely have some suggestions for naming that armor (after testing of course). It is an honor and a privilege to test your armor and thank you, and our anonymous donor, for your overwhelming generosity
I loved his reaction as well.
Awesome to see you guys moving above and beyond!
I'm more excited about this than rouge one! Happy birthday Eldgrim, your armour is beautiful! I'm happy that you guys achieved your goal, and have great support from iron mountain!
Thanks!
So it looks like the samurai armour will be tested on Eldgrim anyway XD
huge congrats on getting this armour, guys! Glad to see the funding campaign went through, and super looking forward to seeing some some testing and sparring between you guys. I bet Eldgrimr has some envy to work out on you, Thrand, good thing that armour is good quality! Hah!
EDIT: Just saw that heartwarming moment at 10:40, that was absolutely fucking brilliant! So happy for you guys!
Also noting that the video quality and sound quality seem to be getting better, too. Very crisp video today, still a bit of back noise on the mic, but it's a noticeable improvement from your earlier vids.
This channel is really evolving into something amazing, glad I've been able to see you guys grow from two guys in your back yard to full on funded testing with two suits of armour!
Best of luck to the both of you, and super eager to see the next vids you've got coming!
EDIT 2:
Just want to let you guys know that seeing the sheer happiness on your faces in this vid inspired me to support you on Patreon. I can't make afford much more than $5 a month, but every dollar counts! Here's to you guys!
Both armours look awesome! Suggestions: climbing, rolling, tumbling, range of motion, kicking, punching, grappling, throws, takedowns, archery. Further a 360 deg view of the armour while being worn. Then point out the various sections and show the weak and strong points and how different stances open or close vulnerabilities. Finally a piece by piece close up...disassembled talking about the materials, relative strength, design/use for each part. :)
Those look fantastic. If I got one, I think I would get an earlier version, I love how they have gigantic shield-like shoulder protection, and I just love the way that style looks. That was some impressive generosity both on the part of your patreon supporters and on the makers of the armor.
Talk about a great surprise! Enjoy them, you lucky lads!!
cant' wait to see the tests on these
That armor looks great on you guys! Kudos to that surprise set of armor!
Can't wait to see the tests, you should compare it to any Western armour you have.
Such a great piece of work. I really do find it sad how many people think that Japanese armor and equipment is "inferior". For the warrior, an armor that protects is an armor that works.
Well it objectively is inferior to Milanese or Gothic plate, but it's also much cheaper and still very effective, so it's still very good armor
Dang what an amazing surprise!
That was amazing. Cool suits of armor and that was just awesome to watch. :)
Awesome surprise! Looking forward to the testing. :)
Beautiful set of Armor guys! I am looking forward to the videos of Viking era weapons tested against your new sets of armor, that is one hell of a gift Eldgrim! next you should ask to test their swords.
YES! Man this has been an awesome week!
Nice surprise there Eldgrim? XD Good work Thrand, must have taken some quick thinking to keep it hush hush
Can't wait to see you guys test the gear.
:U Those sets look amazing. You guys look fantastic. I'm super jealous and I was never much of a fan of the samurai aesthetic but that looks really cool.
congrats, our armor goal should be reached by March 1st. Nice video.
nice to see you so happy :) looking forward to the testing!
congrats man. this is very interesting. it essentially gives comparable protection to a plate armor knight
Daaaaaaaaaaayum!! Oh, the future look bright! This is gonna be so much fun! :)
AWESOME ARMOR
im so exited for the testing :)
Wow awesome! Looks great! I can't wait for testing :D
looks awesome guys wish I could have donated to help y'all out can't wait to see some videos with it
wow Thrand, that was a cruel trick! you lead Eldgrim believe he has more storage space, but it was a lie! XD
great looking armour, glad to see some good fortune, Karma at work?
could you do an obstacle course test with and without armour to compare maneuverability please? perhaps using different kinds of armours
Excellent heartwarming surprise. Amazing video.
Coming back from Pennsic, it definitely touches my fellowship funny-bone. Wicked Chivalrous!
What a awesome surprise!
this is an amazing video and some amazing peaces of armor

Regarding samurai armor:
The Iron Mountain does a great job, but they give you a 80% suit of armor which lacks of some main pieces.
Some history if you want:
If we look at the 16th century, we have the creation of the tosei gusoku. The lamellar armor made of small kozane was replaced with a new type of armor around the 1490-1520 (aftermath of the Onin War ), the "mogami dou"; which made the production of armor easier since they adopt a new way of lacing, different from the previous one.
This highlight that japanese armor was already in the direction of creating new armor for the new sengoku period, even before the introduction of guns. However, after the arrival of Guns in 1543 we have the final stage of armors, with the creation of new models like the houtoke dou, the sendai dou, the niou dou or the okegawa dou. Some of this armor are made of single plates, other with overlapped plates laced or rivited.
Some daimyo also started to use hybrid between the european breastplate and the japanese armor, however is not true at all that european armors came in usage because they were better; it was more of a fashion thing since all of the models I've listed before have the same efficiency as a european hybrid armor (bullet proof), The namban dou.
Even the kabuto developed to have the shikoro closed to the neck, i.e The zunari kabuto.
The gaps;
Nobles generals who fight on the battlefield were covered in steel as good as knights in europe.
The main gaps are around the neck / upper chest, under the arms, the armpit, behind the legs, hands, on the belly where there is no armor, and feet. If you dig a lot, you can find auxiliary pieces that were used to cover and protecte this zones.
The neck was protected in the front by the "tare", the zone around the neck by the shikoro itself and by some padded jackets with "kikko armor inside", small metal hexagon scales. Those jackets could provides protection just for the shoulder, like the "tata-eri" or for all the upper body like the "manchira", or the "manjunowa". The neck around can also be protected by "guruwa".
The upper body was again protected by those padded jacket that were also made of maille, or kikko armor. The zone around the main cuirass was in this way flexibile but still protected. Plus under the neck we could find some upper body protection like the "nodowa".
Under the armpit: this zone was protected by those jackets or by the "wakibiki" some special pieces of steel that protect the zone near the body. Also in some suit of armor like this,
( www.google.gr/search?q=tosei+gusoku+book&client=ms-android-samsung&prmd=isnv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwic6f-2lKrOAhVsK8AKHeTUAJgQ_AUIBygB&biw=360&bih=559#tbm=isch&q=tosei+gusoku+exploding+rocks&imgrc=xK2P98UR1TRafM%3A )
a pattern of maille was used to protect under the arms, plus the kote is padded itself.
The belly was protected by "kyushu-ate", the feet by kogake and the hands by tekko plus some leather or maille gauntles; also some models of tekko could cover all the hands, like this
( www.google.gr/search?q=tosei+gusoku+book&client=ms-android-samsung&prmd=isnv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwic6f-2lKrOAhVsK8AKHeTUAJgQ_AUIBygB&biw=360&bih=559#tbm=isch&q=tosei+gusoku+exploding+rocks&imgrc=WXccqdhADESQ2M%3A
)
The haidate could also be wrapped around the leg with laces to gain extra protection.
Here are sources of what I mention:
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Japanese_auxiliary_armours
commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Gusoku_(individual_armour_components)
Keep in mind that some of this pieces were armor itself and weren't worn togheter with tosei gusoku, like hachigane.
Cutting laces;
Even if actually it was a technique, most of the main lacing were protected by maille and steel plates like here:

A really long post but there are still more than thousands thing to say. If you are intersted I have a lot of infos on the topic!
Great and informative post. Yes, there are many additional armor parts that can be added to the samurai armor, which also adds many different costs to the armor as well. There where also many different style of crafting armor, padding the kote, adding extra maile, extra kikko, wabaki, etc. This is all options that can be added, removed as needed / wanted and most importantly afforded (or found on a dead samurai).
Michael A. Thank you so much, btw your armory is the leader in samurai armor's replica, no doubt about It!
Nice job, beautiful armors and perfectly functional. Hope this test will conferm again how good is your work, which is already a top Quality job; good luck!
Thank you. I hope so as well :)
Top guys! Glad you got it.
I really like the left, black one. The colors of the right is too red and reminds me of plastic on the first sight.
That was great.
Honestly, if you planning on investing in more armor, you should invest in the armor, clothing and plaster so you ship off your body parts to smiths and so you have subsequent clothing to support the armor you are wearing.
The nice thing about samurai armor is that there aren't really any plates that "form" exactly to the body, like in European suits. As long as we know your general body measurements we can use an ancient mathematical formula to craft the armor to a very comfortable and almost exact fit. As Eldgrim said, we can do it just by eye in most cases. But yes, it would be much easier if we had body castings ;0)
Impressive!
Going to leave an early comment. WOOOOOOOOOOOOH FUCK YEAH!!! Oh and Eld brother - you looked like you were just about to cry from happiness. God damn. I cannot wait for the videos to come.
I very nearly wept with joy when I saw that armor. it has always been my philosophy that one should be grateful for what one has and to not covet that which another has been blessed to have. being content with having the Tatami armor is the emotion I had going into this video, so, yeah, when I saw that armor I was caught unawares. I was nearly speechless.
I like how he hold his friends helmet a lot and then when he gets his armor he doesn't put it down for the rest of the vid
Cool armor!
love it! Eld, I laughed out loud when you found that armor in the box. super happy for you, and thanks to everyone who contributed to the guys getting these armors! out of curiosity, how long does it take to don and doff these suits?
I like Samurai armor
I actually like Eldgrim's armor!
Nice armor
I recently stumbled across Antony Cummins' channel, excellent channel btw (which you already know I can hear) he has a video featuring you guys called Samurai Test Cuts and More, at around the 6 second mark there is a clip of Thrand decapitating a ballistic gel head with a katana or nodachi, could I get a link to the full video that clip was from?
thanks in advance
cant wait for you to smash this armor for testing of coure ;)
have you guys ever considering something like making a wisby coat of plates?
The plates that hang which are right here?😂😂😂
Ja at times hard to remember proper Japanese armor piece names spur of the moment and don't want to butcher them lol
@ThegnThrand it happens to me too but the way you said it was just hilarious it was like you almost remembered the proper name but then your brain malfunctioned🤣
Are you guys going to test any firearms agains the samurai armor and the tatami armor?
I'm looking into starting a small blacksmithing and armor shop. Would you guys be interested in testing out some of my stuff when I actually start producing anything?
It would be cool if you guys did some free sparring videos with the armor
It's gonna happen, for sure.
You deserve a reward for your name and pic.....
CogitoErgoSumHaereticus
Thank you I consider it one of my life achievements
Red vs. Blue lol ( Halo reference ) lol
I love the look of the yoroi and that it can be made quite compact and weights less than European armor.
The one thing I don't understand is, why they made it so complicated to put it on?
It is almost as slow as putting on a complex european full arming suit and putting on a gambesson, mail, brigandine, bracers, grieves, gorget and helmet would be much faster (but it offers similar protection).
It really isn't that complicated... just looks complicated. Once you know how to put on the armor it takes about 3 minutes to put the armor on yourself.
***** there's too much knot binding involved.
actualy, o yoroi weights alot compared to plate. its because small plates are segmented overlaping each other.
if you compare europeans armour of the same timeline, it weights the same. sometimes more, sometimes less.
Shrekas 2 If you compare it with the outfit I described, then it should be comparable weight, but if you compare it to a 3/4 or full plate armor then no.
edi well its very hard to understand what did you compare. You just compared any o yoroi to any european aemour. Some o yoroi can weight 35kg and europeans can wear just cloth protection for their torso, so i guess it wont even weight 10kg.
Full plate weights the same as o yoroi on broad scale. It is from 15 to 25 kg. Transitional plate weights more, because you have many gaps and have to wear alot of mail.
Is your name really Elgrimir?
It's my middle name
Best middle name ever!
Did they ever do any tests or anything for this armor? Or did they just get it and never follow up?
what is the material? Are all components made of metal, or is there some rawhide used?
Regarding the exposed arm pit area and the neck, wasn't there auxiliary pieces for this?
Yes indeed;
Regarding samurai armor:
The Iron Mountain does a great job, but they give you a 80% suit of armor which lacks of some main pieces.

Even the kabuto developed to have the shikoro closed to the neck, i.e The zunari kabuto.
It's easy, however, to see some openigs: were they actually lef unprocted? It depends on the warrior. Nobles general who fight on the battlefield were covered in steel and iron as good as knights.
The main gaps are around the neck / upper chest, under the arms, the armpit, behind the legs, hands, on the belly where there is no armor, and feet. If you dig a lot, you can find auxiliary pieces that were used to cover and protecte this zones.

A really long post but there are still more than thousands thing to say
Meriadoc Gunson i Know it's freaking long TL;DR:
Samurai armor with all the auxiliary pieces covered nearly as much as a full plate european armors, and shares the same weak spots, but offers a wider range of movements in the extremites togheter with less weight in it.
Even if laced, the main strings were protected by plates or mail to prevent the armor to fall down
Meriadoc Gunson True, chosing a different style is not a flaw at all.
During the late XV until the end of the warfare, every metal components in a samurai armor was made of steel with the exception of decorative parts like the maedate, which was made of silver and copper for example.
The steel was then lacquered to prevent the armor to rust or being ruined by elements.
Thicnkesses of the plates really depends, but helmets and breastplates were enough thick to prevent a bullet to penetrate the armor as you can see here:
www.google.it/search?q=tameshi+gusoku&oq=tameshi+gu&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l2.5122j0j4&client=ms-android-samsung&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=QO9vC56xwiNydM%3A

So I have to assume that It was similar to the the thicknesses used in europe.
Meriadoc Gunson Well I don't know but I suppose that they didn't do by purpose, sometimes iron and steel are mixed up because actually steel is an alloy of carbon and iron.
Btw here are my sources:
Several books like this on:
Sinclaire, Clive (2004). Samurai: The Weapons and Spirit of the Japanese Warrior said that their armor was made of steel.
Also this paper which is almost complete despite some inaccuracy said that they were made of steel: myarmoury.com/feature_jpn_armour.php
Even this website of this museum said that there is steel in it:
www.asianart.org/collections/conservation-of-japanese-armor
And also this sites which has some basic infos on samurai history:
www.mylearning.org/japanese-samurai-armour/p-4304/
If we are talking about high ranking tosei gusoku (The equivalent of a full plate armor in europe) 10/10 is made of steel.
A suggestion for what to do with the armor. I remember seeing some, i think it was a BBC show, where they compared european armor with samurai armor and claimed that the Samurai armor was superior because it was designed to allow people to scale walls in it. So i would suggest some mobility tests to put the rumors to bed saying you are restricted in your movements in these armors.
Thanks for the link.
Meriadoc Gunson I am aware, MET did a great review of actual armor and their mobility. The video is on youtube. Still its rather lengthy, and linking it to people is counter productive.
Meriadoc Gunson People are more likely to watch someone like Thrand than some curator of MET holding an hour long 'lesson' like a teacher
don't trust the BBC. taking something out of it's context and comparing it to something else, then claiming one is superior is bullshit.
one of the main advantage in its design, is that a samurai armor has less metal over the arms and legs and flexible joints compared to european armor; despite giving slighty less protection with a full set equipped with all the auxiliary armor pieces, it's really easy to fight and move in.
But saying that is better or inferior compated to other armors because of this is bullcrap, is just a choice in its design.
When was this armor gonna be tested?
What armor is the guy on the left wearing??
they look sick, should be really hard to damage.
Not really, samurai armor is made of individual pieces that are easy to replace. The pieces will do their job but won't last several battles like a suite of full plate would.
On the plus side they'd be much cheaper to replace than a full plate glove.
+Gabriel Hollows
indeed what I always find unconfortable in european armor is that is freaking hard to repair if someone dented or pierced your armor hard.
The efficiency on the samurai armor in being easy to repair is amazing
Youre referring to historic Japanese armor. This is definitely made of modern materials.
Can you do Chinese armour (any dynasty）
10:40 It's a shame when that warm moment happened it's also where the video went out of sync.

John Boii the highest quality model.
Is this the same armor Metatron has?

Alright, thanks for the response.
can you shoot a bow in the armor?
Yes, it can be adjusted to allow your arms a wider range for movement when drawing a bow.
