To repair a damaged Viking shield edge, I added a metal reinforcement based on finds from Ness, Norway sagy.vikingove.cz/en/decorate... . I show the making process step by step. In addition, I provide a detailed tutorial on how I make my edge clamps in this public post: / viking-shield-71697709

You are the person responsible for ruining my enjoyment of big heavy shields. I very much enjoyed your videos about how thin shields really where. I found it fascinating that some shields where edged in 'grass'. It introduced me to a different view of the shield in combat.

Beautiful repair! I'm interested in hearing if you noticed a difference in weight and if so did it affect the handling of the shield?

@TheRainblossoms

Looks good and also more useful with harder training sessions. I might try this.

Nice work, looks great. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.

@PilgrimBangs

How much weight did this all add? I too look forward to how it does perform. I wonder if the metal edge will effect a bind on the sword edge. Might it make dull swords slide more readily, and a sharp edge bite into the softer metal and hold a bind??? Look forward to you testing it. Thank you for the interesting repair video.

So what does the tin coating accomplish?

@dowlingwoody

Aside from the burial you mention and Sutton Hoo are there any other find with evidence of a metal shield rim?

@zenhydra

How much weight do you think this added to the shield? Is it enough that you can feel it in motion?

There are any evidence of use iron or steel wire as edge reinforcement with metal clips covered with rawhide ?

@oldlifter530

Does the sword edge catch more on the leather or copper?

Please stop using sword thrusts obsessively. Viking era swords were better suited to cutting. Vikings preferred axes. The Cutting style that viking people used with axes would have transferred over to their sword work.
