It is made of polypropylene so we are left to guess what would happen in various threat scenarios. I keep mine by the front door to deflect and obstruct an advancing home invader. My little Cold Steel shovel sits beside it and is razor sharp so it can do the job of a large sword or a short axe, but only if there is 'room' to swing it. Your machete idea has the same problem. A very ineffectual weapon in a close quarters, face to face, struggle. I recently saw a video on YT where 'experts' combat tested each kind of weapon (sword, spear, axe and so on) against the others. None of the weapons provided any effective defense against a spear. Cold steel and others sell a wide variety of spears which are worth a look. This is the one that I bought from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ATUX7UG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I can't say how it will perform in combat but I do believe that a 'thrust and parry' blade (or a gun) is what you need at the front door and bedside. Just my opinion. **Q: Will this allow me to parry casuals?** A: Yes, just make sure to remove the kick ash of war first and add the party ash of war. **Q: Do they make a bigger version?** A: No, the "Targe" is the largest size. If one decided to "improve" the shield, additional "materials" might be added to modify the shield to withstand higher 'threat levels' or increase it's size. I suppose that 'ballistic plate' or Kevlar matting could even be attached somehow. There are also a wide variety of the shields used by police for (for sale) if you want to spend that kind of money to get real protection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High-Quality Item *by G***N on July 13, 2026* Huge and heavy and powerful, this piece exhibits impressive durability and can be used with a range of other weapons. Good value, good material, and highly versatile. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very sturdy. Very heavy. Shield! *by S***T on May 9, 2026* Nice training shield. Great quality. A bit overpriced though. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy with a good weight to it *by Y***V on November 23, 2025* Good weight, solid construction. Feels very good in your hands and works well for training. While a bit on the expensive side, it's very sturdy because this thing can take some hard hits without issue from a polymer sword. Also doesn't rust like a metal shield would, which is great when you take it outside and it ends up on the ground. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Medieval Buckler Polymer Shield, Soldier's Targe - Cold Steel Training Sword - Made of High-Impact Polypropylene, Black - Cold Steel Medieval Buckler Polymer Shield --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/211509384-cold-steel-medieval-buckler-polymer-shield-soldiers-targe](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/211509384-cold-steel-medieval-buckler-polymer-shield-soldiers-targe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
