Small Shield Buckler

Description

Small Shield Buckler – 14-Gauge Steel with Domed Boss & Wooden Grip: Compact, easily handled and historically accurate, this small shield buckler is made from strong 14-gauge mild steel (approx. 2 mm thick), for both strength and authenticity for training or display. Inspired by original buckler shields used in Europe from the 14th to 16th centuries, it brings exceptional control in close-quarters combat where speed, precision, and agility matter a lot.

At the center, the riveted domed boss protects the hand as well as brings offensive potential, ideal for deflecting strikes, binding blades, or punching during fast exchanges. The flared rim increases strength and stability, supporting advanced techniques practiced in historical fencing.

The back of the Small shield buckler has a comfortable shock absorbing handle wrapped in wood. This keeps excellent balance and helps in easy and fast transitions between defensive blocks and counterattacks. Whether you train with a single sword, practice sword-and-buckler drills, or need a reliable steel buckler shield for stage combat, this design is great with accuracy and authenticity.

With two options of blackened or polished steel, the shield is treated from the inside to resist corrosion. With an overall diameter of 30.5 cm (12 inches) and a weight of approx. 1200 g, it is easy to carry and use.
