Forged for Battle and Beauty: A Viking Shield's Tale
An Emblem of Protection: Wrought in the forges of heritage, this Viking shield bears witness to the clash of swords and the dance of spears. Its weathered surface tells a story of loyalty to kin and a steadfast defense against the tides of time. A silent witness to history, it echoes the echoes of battles long forgotten. It also serves as a pretty awesome platter for upscale Viking dining.
Battle-Ready Art
Our Viking Round Shields are fully-functional, battle-ready works of art that echo the valor and craftsmanship of ancient Norse warriors. We make our shields using real pine wood planks fastened together with handmade wrought iron nails. They have genuine rawhide edges that are secured with cut tacks. The handles are wrapped in genuine leather to offer optimal comfort and grip. The finish is applied in several coats of thinly layered paint to create a depth and beauty that gives an weathered, ancient look to these functional pieces of art. We also offer shield blanks, if you would like to customize your own.
Bound by Brotherhood and Family: Connecting Vikings Through Generations
We dreamed of a way to secure and strengthen the future of our growing families amidst the unpredictabilities of life. Motivated by our profound love for family and passion for crafting Viking inspired shields, armor, and clothing, we took a leap of faith to create a traveling Viking Trading Post that voyaged the East Coast. As we journeyed from town to town, our families often joined us, immersing themselves in the art of creation and the rich Norse culture that is part of our heritage and modern lives. Through our travels, we are building a sustainable livelihood and strengthening family bonds, passing down craftsmanship skills and ancestral values to the next generation.
