We offer ALL wooden shields in 4 finishes, Premium, Deluxe, Standard, and Raw. If you want to paint your own, then we offer all shields in their Raw, unfinished state.  Each shield includes sturdy straps to secure the shield to your arm.

Personalize your shield by engraving your initials on the handle !

If you order a sword with your shield, we can add slot in the handle of your shield to store your sword - at NO EXTRA CHARGE. Check out the pictures, below.

We can do this for any sword and shield combination. Just select "YES - please add a Sword Slot (no cost)" when you're checking out  telling us you want the sword slot in your shield.

The handle

No two arms are the same size, so we use nylon rope to make the handles for our shields.

The nylon rope is comfortable and is infinitely adjustable to fit any arm.

Engraved Initials

Using  a high-speed dremel-tool, we can engrave your initials (3 letters maximum) in the handle of your shield, for a minimal additional cost.
