Until recently they where only making armor for the Japanese market.

Q: What is the difference between Battle Samurai Armor Classic Battle Samurai Armor. A: Classic Armor was used more toward the mid 1500's and features a hineno-jikoro style kabuto and a Yokohagi Okegawa ni-mai dô with the rivets filed down. Although the Classic Armor is made with the same high quality steel it has less plating on the neck and shoulders and does not feature the same ornate designs in the armor as the Battle Series armor does. The Battle Armor features superior Zunari (head shaped) style kabuto and the Yokohagi Okegawa ni-mai dô with raised dome rivets. It also features more plates neck and shoulder guards. Q: Is the armor real or for display only? A: Yes, they are made in the same traditional design and using the same traditional techniques as the armor craftsman used over 500 years ago. The only thing that has changed is some of the tools used to make the armor and using spot welding techniquies with the rivets. It looks great on display in your room or while wearing it on the field of battle. Q: Is the armor battle ready? A: Although we do not recommend or sell our armor to be used in any form of combat, it is very capable of being used and withstanding the riggers of training and full contact sparring. Along with traditional armor crafting, we believe in traditional armor testing. Our armor has been tested with great success using fully functional, live samurai swords. Q: What gauge steel do you use? A: We use 16 gauge steel on the main section of the armor, kabuto, dô, suneate, kote, kusazuri & haidate. We use 19 gauge steel on the sode, wakibiki, shikoro & menpo. Q: I want to build and paint my own armor, do you sell unfinished armor parts only? A: No, we do not. However, from time to time, we do sell armor at discounted prices that where blemished during shipping or that do not pass our quality control testing due to small cosmetic defects. These items are sold on our "Featured Product" page, available only to our members and will be marked accordingly with detailed pictures / description when listed. Q: What type of materials are used in your armor? A: We use traditional materials used by armor craftsman used in the mid to late 1500's. Most armor of this time where made from wrought steel plates. Our armor is crafted using wrought steel, silk, leather and cotton material, keeping true to the time. The only difference is that we use new, echo friendly paint instead of the more toxic lacquer paint used in the 16th century. Q: I see Fenglinhanjia samurai armor on auction sites selling for less money, why? A: Fenglinhanjia Armory has a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of 15%.

There are only 3 manufacturer's representatives for the Fenglinhanjia samurai armor which are located in the USA, Germany and Japan. If you see pictures of our armor being offered by a company in China or Hong Kong it is a knock off, much like the $1,200 Prada bag on sale for $80.
