This boss is boss. The nails, however, are too long for a traditional thickness viking shield. It would be amazing if you offered a kit that includes the handle for the backside, or maybe even a sheet of linen to back it.

I've ordered these several times now
Review by Clifton C. on 8 Jun 2023 review stating I've ordered these several times now
The clients I make shields for love the sturdiness and authentic look. It's a very affordable option even purchasing all the way from Canada. I highly recommend buying the nails as well. It's tough to find your own that fit properly without a washer and for the extra few dollars, it's worth it. You could make some but at their price, it's just not worth my time. Make sure you oil the boss after installation and handling. It will lightly rust over time.

The overall prices cannot be beat. The quality is amazing. Shipping was incredibly fast. From Sweden to western Canada in 8 days. The shieldboss with nails is a great deal for authentic look and feel. Thank you Grimfrost and keep up what you're doing.

The quality and thickness are both excellent. It is the crown jewel on my otherwise historically inaccurate small budget shield. My next one will far more expensive and historically accurate.

Two more to go, this shield is almost done.
Review by John O. on 9 Aug 2022 review stating Two more to go, this shield is almost done.
The making of a Viking shield takes a bit of research. We are using shiplap. This first one is the test model. Made from Pine wood. It's a 38" shield, considered very large. The next will be 36" made of Hickory shiplap wood. Grimfrost seems to encourage making your own, by offering the shield boss. I'll be adding a heavy leather carry strap to the next one. Graphic design and paint then the leather edge will finish out this shield.

Review by Tamas F. on 26 Jul 2022 review stating My Grimfrost hoard so far
My shopping experience with grimfrost thus far has been awesome, I recommend the site to all new members to my HEMA/reenactment club. I have a whole list of things I still plan to purchase so you'll be hearing from me in the near future. I've been a fan of the shop since it's launch. I thoroughly love everything I have bought.

Review by Darren E. on 10 Sep 2020 review stating Excellent craftsmanship
From the word go you can tell that this boss sits at the top of the pile! It's really well made and the gage of steel shows that it's made to a specification as opposed to a price. That said, I think that it is exceptional value for money, the sum of the parts almost outweigh the price.

Shield boss and iron nails
Review by Brennan M. on 28 Oct 2019 review stating Shield boss and iron nails
Everything arrived in good time and is well made and sturdy. Proper iron, no sheet metal imitation stuff. The hand-forged nails add a nice authentic look to the shields I'm making.
