SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel Medieval Buckler in black polypropylene is a reliable companion for historical enthusiasts, stage performers, and training practitioners who value both durability and authenticity. Modeled after the traditional bucklers used by swordsmen in centuries past, this compact shield is roughly the size of a large dinner plate, making it an agile and effective defensive tool for re-enactment, stage combat, and controlled practice. Its construction is stout and purpose-driven, designed to withstand the rigors of repeated use without compromising its form or function.
Crafted from high-quality polypropylene, this buckler offers a lightweight yet remarkably tough build that resists cracks, chips, and warping often seen in wood or metal alternatives. The material ensures longevity while requiring minimal maintenance, making it ideal for enthusiasts who need dependable gear for rehearsals, live-action roleplay, or decorative display. The thick, raised boss provides ample protection for the hand, while the rugged handle ensures a secure, comfortable grip even during extended sessions of training or performance.
This buckler is specifically designed for decorative and re-enactment purposes, meaning it’s not intended for use with live steel or sharp-edged metal weapons. Instead, it excels in controlled environments where safety is paramount—pair it with wooden wasters, synthetic training swords, or other reenactment-friendly arms to bring historical scenarios to life without compromising your well-being or that of your fellow participants.
Cold Steel’s attention to detail ensures this piece isn’t just functional but also visually authentic, with a sleek black finish that mirrors the austere, battle-ready look of its medieval counterparts. Whether you’re adding to your collection of historical arms, gearing up for a re-enactment, or outfitting a stage production, this buckler represents a dependable, low-maintenance solution that bridges tradition with modern craftsmanship.
