Excellent buckler for a great price

Excellent buckler for a great price. It was shipped in grease to prevent rusting and will need a good wipedown, but that is to be expected when shipping metal parts. All in all, solid construction, but i am unsure of the strength of the handle. It seems a little tenuous, and may be difficult to keep intact in SCA armored combat, though i have not tried. For the purpose of SCA C&T or Rapier, it has worked just fine so far. I suspect it would also stand up to most HEMA sparring.

Solid, attractive, functional buckler

I don’t love the handle, but otherwise this is an excellent buckler for the price.

ACTUAL ITEM NOT PICTURED.

The actual buckler does not come with the sturdy all-metal handle shown in the pictures. It had a flimsy metal strip with two pieces of low quality wood riveted to the metal strip which is riveted to the buckler. Should have read the reviews.

Not true to description

Just received my buckler. It does not feature the sturdy all-metal handle from the picture. Instead it has a flimsy two-piece wooden handle that is already loose out of the box. While the rest of the buckler seems sturdy, and accurate to the description, it is useless to me without a strong handle.

Great solid piece, it is light and battle ready. I am using it as a buckler for a war of the roses archer impression.

Good overall buckler, handle is s'all right. Handle may need modification for improvement

I got this shield from Kult of Athena for 37 bucks. This buckler is manageable and light enough for the purpose of fencing/combat. Being made of 14 gauge steel, It will hold and last for robust combat. You'd probably need a hammer or thick spike to dent this thing. My sister who does H.e.m.a fighting; her only criticism is that the handle is a bit weak. Where the handle bolts to the shield, its too thin. When she does a shield bash, the part of the handle that is bolted; bends. So it probably needs modifications for improvement. If you don't intend to shield bash with this, this will hold for tournaments, heavy fighting, heavy sparring. Its cheap, affordable, robust, just like a buckler should be
