I have this shield and it is well built, some might say overbuilt. I think it will take anything thrown at it including pole arms. My arm will give out from the incoming energy before the shield will. MRL no longer had them in stock at the time so I got mine from KoA and it was the last that they had. I see that while now in stock it’s a close out item. It’s made of 1” thick plywood and weighs 8 ¾ lb. Personally I rather they used ½” plywood cutting the weight almost in half. The fault that I found is that the rear covering shrank over time. I painted only the front and edges, possibly paint on the rear would have prevented this. The shrinkage caused the glue to let go. I recommend on receiving the shield to tack around the edges. I did so later on the back side tacking 1” apart. The shield is tough and resisted the tacks but I got around this by drilling pilot holes. Mark the bit or put a stop on it so as not to drill completely through.

Looks like the Sword of Roven has one of her last go arounds as a DOD. I remember buying mine two years ago. Still one of my favorite swords. I can HIGHLY recommend picking one up while they still last. Supposedly they are being/are discontinued, so grab one of the best sub $300 blades on the market while you can.

This is an excellent dagger and if I didn’t already have one I would grab this DoD. It’s nicely balanced and quick. The quillions block incoming blades well. I am delighted with mine. Works well in the off hand with a sword or by itself. Sorry to see it’s a closeout. But typical of Windlass, they develop an excellent product then discontinue it. Sad. With the promo code it’s $48.60, an excellent buy.
