I was shown an original document explaining how to make a shield covering that makes it 'impenetrable to edged tools'. This is a BIG claim and one I needed to look at, so I started looking........

In part one I covered the original style shield with the recipe, in part two I made a slight modification and treated a section of 'blackened gambeson'. Now in part three I shoot the heck out of the shield with a 130lbs and a 160lbs longbow simulator. A part 4 is coming where I hit it with everything I have.
