Narrow pavise shield

Description

The Narrow Pavise Shield is crafted after a 15th-century historical prototype, originally used by crossbowmen to shield themselves while reloading. Over time, pavise shields evolved into smaller versions, perfectly suited for duels and close combat.

This hand pavise keeps the authentic rectangular shape while being reduced in size for greater mobility in combat. Made from high-quality thick wood, reinforced with canvas and leather edges, it provides strong protection while remaining manageable in weight.

The back of the shield features leather straps and a handle, ensuring a secure grip during fast-paced buhurt battles and tournaments. Its durability allows it to withstand both one-handed and two-handed weapon strikes, making it a reliable choice for HMB, reenactments, and training sessions.
