Very impressed This thing can certainly take a beating. The shield is incredibly strong and I can’t seem to find any weakness in it. I think it’s extremely well priced for what you get. The leather at the front of the shield is scratched and such after sparring, but there’s not much you can do about that. When it arrived it was a bit greasy, but you can wipe that off. Overall, very good for my sparring needs, can take a heavy beating, and I would and have recommended it to friends. (I don’t know that much about shields and how they should perform, so I’m just speaking from my knowledge and experiences. Take what I say with a grain of salt.)
