Fencing Buckler – Dark Metal – 14in – LARP

METAL FIST

Forget about size: Epic Armoury’s Fencing Buckler is light and maneuverable in hand-to-hand combat, and combined with a sword or rapier it is a simple yet effective weapon, if used with the right techniques. The buckler has many uses; ‘blind-out’ the position of your sword hand, and make it difficult for your opponent to guess, what your next move is; or ‘bind’ your opponent’s sword hand against their body. Use this hard EVA foam and latex shield left- or right-handed with the split-leather wrapped punch grip hidden behind the shield boss, and feel confident that it will withstand the continued abuse of a LARP with regular maintenance.

The buckler goes well with Epic Armoury’s Sovereign range of products, for instance the Squire Sword or the Rapier and can be used by a wide range of characters such as dashing knights, valiant soldiers or fancy Renaissance fencing-duellers. With its utilitarian design, you can make this Fencing Buckler a trust-worthy central piece when crafting your character’s kit.

Available in colours Metal, Dark Metal and Gold

HISTORY

• The buckler was first and foremost a military tool used in war by both soldiers and knights
• A buckler could amongst many other techniques be used as a ‘Metal Fist’ to directly attack your opponent by punching him

MAINTENANCE

Read our ‘LARP Weapon Maintenance’ article HERE!

All latex-coated shields need a certain degree of maintenance. For this we recommend using maintenance silicone, which can be purchased separately in the ‘Weapon Maintenance & Repair’ section.

‘Larp Inn Weapon Lube – Silicone Spray’ is an easy, spray-on application, 100% pure and acid-free making it safe to apply. We recommend using silicone on a regular basis. It maintains the latex-coat’s flexibility and prevents it from drying out, keeping the product wear and tear resistant.

Store your latex shield flat on its back. Use a simple sheet or towel lining to prevent it from touching a plastic or rubber surface to prevent your weapon from adhering to other products. Keep your shield in a cool, dry environment.
