Fantasy theme gave a significant push for hobbys in one way or another connected with fencing and armor developing. Of course we can not ingnore this direction. In general, if you want to collect the most realistic fantasy armor - we are at your service! Especially since our armor has a nice design and you can create the necessary image with it.

Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop mittens, elbows, knees, etc specially for this direction. Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop specially for this discipline mittens, elbows, knees, etc. This direction of fencing is based on medieval fencing books (training books) and special very flexible and light swords are used here.

In fighting stylization, we first of all provide protection and convenience. When developing such armor, we combine the existing elements and parts of the medieval armor existing separately, but in close regions and time frames.

In historical reconstruction, we try to maximally repeat the geometry of the example artifact. The difficulty is that often both the example and the artifact are located far from us. Therefore, such work requires considerable skill.

Some tournaments might prohibit such buckler, as it doesn’t have rolling on edges. This is a distinctive attribute of the 15th century citizen.  Paired with the longsword this is a good means of self-defense.

Looks nice and knocks the teeth in!

Description

Buckler is a small round fist shield, always made from steel and with a boss. It first appeared in the 15th century as a replacement for a cavalry heater shield for foot fight and was used to counter opponent’s punches. In the 16th century the buckler became quite popular among the infantry, as its size allowed to make maneuvers in a tight foot fight and its durability allowed to counter even the hits with an axe. The buckler was used by all types of infantry in addition to poleaxe, pike, one-handed sword or bastard-sword. Moreover, its small size allowed to punch the opponent with the boss or the edge of the shield in the face, which was often done by infantry. The later variant was called Rondache and usually was produced in a set with half-armor and decorated in a similar style to it.
