Product description
In the 16th century, through the words of Cervantes, Don Alonso Quijano, better known as "Don Quijote de La Mancha," was born. A knight with an extraordinary sense of duty and honor, his devotion to chivalric ideals led him to the brink of madness. He famously attacked windmills, believing them to be giants, mistook flocks of sheep for an enemy army, and even saw wineskins as ghosts. Through all his absurd adventures, he gained widespread fame.
Known throughout La Mancha and beyond, Don Quijote's life was filled with wild and fantastical escapades. He lived his life in delusion, but in the end, he passed away in the arms of his beloved "Dulcinea del Toboso," with his mind finally clear.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
