Functional and Light I waited a decade to get some non steel buckler for my 1.33 study. With these, we can use synthetic single handed wasters or wooden wasters for the S&B technical. Good price and they don’t rust obviously. One word of caution. Dumbasses and newbs will pick this up and use steels on it leaving crowsbeaks on the edge and divots in the face (when they think you are not looking.) Remember to tell them off. About the material itself, it’s sort of absorbs a lot of shock, whereas a steel buckler transfers it through to the hand. The handle has flats on it to prevent the buckler turning when struck. Good idea.
