These hand-forged medieval shield nails are used for a wide range of traditional projects, from the making and restoration of historic shields to the creation of rustic furniture, timber framing, and heritage-style interior details. Each nail is individually forged using traditional techniques, giving them a robust, slightly irregular character that distinguishes them from modern machine-made fixings.

The wide, flat head provides excellent grip and secure attachment of planks, leather accessories, straps, or decorative hardware to wooden surfaces. Whether you're mounting a medieval shield, repairing antique chests, or adding authentic details to cabinets or doors, these nails offer strength and visual impact.

Its tapered tip ensures smooth, reliable nailing in seasoned or green wood, while its substantial 5mm thickness provides exceptional holding power that resists loosening over time.

Finished in a classic blackened finish, these spikes blend seamlessly into historical settings and add an unmistakable period touch to any medieval project, LARP equipment, or heritage restoration.

IDEAL FOR:

• Construction of medieval and Viking shields
• Reproduction of historical furniture
• Rustic wood carpentry and cabinetmaking
• Period decoration and restorations
• Building LARP and reenactment equipment
• Manufacturing of custom-made wooden chests or boxes

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Store in a dry environment to prevent excessive oxidation.
