Description
Channel the strength of Viking warriors with this handcrafted 30-inch shield, built for both durability and authentic medieval style. Made from 12 mm thick solid hardwood, it carries the same sturdy build that made Viking shields essential on the battlefield. The surface is finished in a deep dark wood tone, giving it a bold and historical look.
At the center sits a 16-gauge polished steel boss (umbo), designed to protect your hand while deflecting incoming strikes. A reinforced steel rim adds extra strength against blows and extends the shield’s life, making it perfect for reenactments, LARP, or display.
On the back, a solid wooden handle ensures a strong, comfortable grip. With a 30-inch diameter and a weight of about 5.3 kg, this shield offers the right mix of protection, balance, and ease of movement.
Whether for combat training, medieval events, or as a display piece, this shield captures the spirit of Viking craftsmanship and the legacy of Norse warriors.
