16-gauge

16-gauge steel and shaped into a hexagonal

hexagonal shape.

Its construction provides reinforcement for any round or kite-style shield, ideal for enthusiasts, DIY makers, and LARP warriors who desire both functionality and old-world craftsmanship.

Built for Battle-Ready Strength:

Historically, the

shield boss

was the protective central dome of a wooden shield, deflecting blows and guarding the hand. This design is similar to Viking and medieval shields.

Viking shield boss

served as both a defense and an anchor. The mild steel combines strength, impact resistance, and long-term reliability. It withstands repeated blows while remaining light enough to keep the shield mobile.

Hand-Forged with Authentic Hammered Details:

Each piece is individually forged, giving the surface a natural hammered texture, just like battlefield equipment. This gives the umbo a weathered, battle-worn charm that instantly enhances the historical look of your shield.

Pre-drilled and Easy to Install:

This

shield boss

comes pre-drilled with mounting holes. Washers and rivets are included for quick and secure installation. Simply align the boss over the grip area, mark the drill points, and attach it through the shield plate.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Keep the steel dry after use and apply oil to prevent surface rust.

Store the shield in an enclosed place protected from moisture when not in use.

Periodically check the rivets to ensure the boss remains securely attached.

NOTE

Each umbo is hand-forged, so slight variations in texture, hammer marks, and finish are to be expected.
