  • 12" Fluted Buckler - 16 gauge

    Used from the 12th to the 18th century, the buckler achieved a deserved reputation as both a defensive and offensive arm. Indispensable in both classical rapier play and I.33 sparring, it has become an essential part of the modern swordsman's equipment.

    Our 12” Fluted Buckler is crafted in 16 gauge steel and features radial embossed flutes for rigidity. The wooden grip is securely riveted to the body of the buckler.

    Diameter: 31cm
    Plate thickness: 2mm
    Weight: 1258g

    All dimensions are approximate and may vary from piece to piece.

  • 12" Red Dragon Buckler - 14 gauge

    This buckler has been developed with some of the top HEMA schools in Europe with durability and price in mind. It is constructed from 14 gauge steel making it durable enough to take the abuse that everyday practice in the salle throws at it. It is ideal for both I.33 and Bolognese systems.

    The boss is well riveted to the face of the buckler and the grip/handle is raised at the back to allow for a padded glove, but not raised to the extent that it adversely affects manoeuvrability. A great buckler at a great price!

    Diameter: 31cm
    Circumference: 97cm
    Depth: 5cm
    Weight: 1640g
