European Triangular Shield M 52×70 cm
European triangular shield for buhurt/full contact, made with historical references in mind: based on period-style shapes known from iconography and museum prototypes of medieval European shields. The triangular outline supports torso coverage while keeping the shield responsive for active handwork and close-range control.
Build: a 2-layer plywood core with a total thickness of 8 mm. Both faces are fabric-covered and painted in the requested color. The fabric skin helps the surface stay serviceable under abrasion and reduces localized splintering from strikes and friction.
Rim durability: the edge is wrapped with 4 mm leather and further reinforced with multiple glued fabric layers. This perimeter reinforcement helps against rim hits, shield-to-weapon contact, and grinding in clinch, while keeping maintenance practical—edge and outer layers can be serviced without rebuilding the entire shield.
Size: standard 52×70 cm, with the option to adjust dimensions on request (to better match stance, reach, and event requirements). For technical inspections, always verify the current rules on size, thickness, edge treatment, and padding—this shield is designed around common full-contact criteria, but final approval depends on the specific regulations and on-site inspection.
Artwork: custom paint and designs are available; a layout can be prepared in different complexity levels to match your team identity without compromising serviceability.
