Hand-Forged Medieval Steel Buckler Shield – Compact Combat Defense: This expertly crafted buckler shield is forged from solid 16-gauge mild steel. Inspired by the utilities carried by soldiers, duelists, and swordsmen across Europe from the 14th to the 16th centuries, this is functional as well as historically accurate.
Authentic Medieval Design: The design shows traditional European types of medieval shields, specifically the quick and agile bucklers used for close-combat sword fighting. Compact and effective, the shield buckler is great at blade control, parrying strikes and delivering counter-blows during fast-paced engagements.
Durable 16-Gauge Steel Construction: Hand-forged from sturdy mild steel, this buckler is built for real use, from light sparring to HEMA training. The rolled rim makes it lasting and safe, while the steel body provides reliable impact resistance.
Two Distinct Finishes
Choose the finish that matches your kit:
- Polished Steel – Ideal for achieving an authentic knight medieval shield appearance
- Matte Black – A bold, dramatic option perfect for modern HEMA or theatrical settings
Compact & Practical Combat Size: With a 30 cm (11 ¾ Inch) diameter and weighing approx 1.3 kg, this buckler gives excellent maneuverability. The 7 cm deep domed boss (umbo) protects the hand while absorbing the shock of incoming blows.
Secure Riveted Handle: A strong riveted steel grip wrapped in a smooth wooden handle provides solid stability and superior comfort during training and drills. Suitable for use with bare hands or padded gloves, the handle of the Buckler shield provides a safe, comfortable hold.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Keep the buckler dry after use to prevent rust.
- Apply a light coat of oil after handling or storing.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture.
- Wipe clean with a soft cloth after training or display.
Note : Each buckler is individually hand-forged. Slight variations in shape, texture, and finish are natural.
