Q&A
Questions from the community
Q What is this buckler made of and how is it constructed? Common Question
This buckler is made from 18 gauge mild steel with a domed, dish-shaped face. The reverse is blackened, and the grip is a riveted steel bar fitted with two halves of rounded wood for a comfortable hold.
Q How much does it weigh, and what is that weight suited for? Common Question
It weighs 2 lb 2.9 oz. The 18 gauge steel is thinner than heavier bucklers, which keeps the weight down and makes it easier on the wrist during extended handling.
Q What size is this buckler? Common Question
It measures 13'' x 13'', a compact size typical of a hand buckler meant to be carried on the fist alongside a single-handed weapon rather than strapped to the arm.
Q What does the grip look like and how is it attached? Common Question
The grip is a horizontal steel bar mounted across the center boss on the reverse side, riveted in place at each end with visible steel brackets. Two halves of rounded wood are fitted over the bar to give a solid, comfortable handhold.
Q What finish does the buckler have, front and back? Common Question
The reverse side is blackened with a matte finish around the boss and grip, while the front face shows a brushed, polished steel finish with a rolled rim edge.
Q How should I care for this buckler to keep it in good condition? Common Question
Wipe the front face down after handling and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, since it's bare polished steel. The blackened reverse also benefits from a light coat of oil, particularly after use, to protect the finish and keep the steel underneath from corroding. Store it dry to keep both sides in good shape.
Q Who is this buckler a good fit for? Common Question
This suits reenactors, stage performers, or collectors who want a historically styled buckler that's comfortable to carry and maneuver for extended periods, thanks to its lighter 18 gauge build. The compact 13'' size pairs naturally with a single-handed sword or similar weapon in hand-to-hand practice.
