Genuine Leather Handcuffs with Detachable Snap Hook – Black
Construction and Safety
The cuffs are crafted from durable buff leather (cowhide) approximately 3.5 mm thick. The black colour and silver hardware give them a versatile look suitable for both fantasy and historical-inspired settings. The base consists of two wide cuffs (approx. 2 inches) that fasten with a classic buckle. Thanks to the punched holes in the strap, they are fully adjustable and fit most wrists.
The connection between the hands is secured by a robust double-ended snap hook. This solution is brilliant for LARP safety. If you need to free your hands quickly (e.g., during a fall, injury, or simply to drink water), just click the snap hook and you are free without having to tediously unbuckle the wrist straps. The snap hook is attached to sturdy D-rings riveted to the cuffs.
Historical Context
Historically, various methods were used to restrain prisoners, ranging from simple hemp ropes and leather straps to heavy forged iron shackles and chains. While iron shackles were the domain of dungeons and long-term imprisonment, leather and rope were often used for transport or immediate detainment due to being lighter and more readily available. Although the snap hook used here is a modern invention (patented in the 19th century), in the context of Fantasy LARP, it is visually unobtrusive, and its safety function is indispensable.

Care Instructions
To prevent the leather from becoming hard and cracking, it requires care. Store the handcuffs in a dry place. If they get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature (never on a radiator!). Treat the leather occasionally with beeswax or leather conditioner. You can protect the metal parts from corrosion with a thin layer of oil (e.g., WD-40 or gun oil), especially the snap hook mechanism to keep it smooth.
Tip: For greater comfort, you can smooth the rough inner side of the leather or wear the cuffs over your costume sleeves or gauntlets.
