Buckler is such an awesome shield type you don't even need a sword with. In fact, if you have a soft armor training buckler, made of sandwich material foam-plastic-foam, covered with oxford fabric, and 35 cm (13.8 inches) diameter, you can get by with one.  Also note, that this is an elbow grip type shield. Take this feature into account. The only thing cooler is the soft armor buckler with umbon. You know, it's as good as it gets, but there's also an umbon. And everything with an umbon is undoubtedly better than without it. Besides, you can take two soft armor triangle shields and you'll be like an attacking fighter at all. just don't deny your trainer that we taught you that...
