Adjustable Leather Sword Frog | Belt Hanger for LARP & Reenactment

Adjustable Leather Sword Frog | Belt Hanger for LARP & Reenactment

Functionality and Customisation

This sword hanger is designed for maximum flexibility. It consists of two belt loops connected by sturdy metal rings to the main scabbard holder. This holder is decorated with cross-lacing, which not only looks great but also allows for minor adjustments to the grip on your scabbard. The key feature, however, is the small strap and buckle system that connects the two belt loops. By tightening or loosening it, you can easily adjust the angle at which your sword hangs. This allows you to choose a more vertical position for navigating crowds or a more slanted angle for comfortable sitting or running.

A Look into History: From Baldric to Frog

While swords in the early Middle Ages were often carried on a shoulder strap (known as a baldric), belt-mounted frogs like this one gained immense popularity in later periods, especially during the Renaissance. This method of carrying offered greater freedom of movement for the upper body and was more practical for the civilian carrying of weapons like the rapier. The ability to adjust the angle and height of the suspension was prized by duelists and courtiers alike.

Caring for Your Leather Product

To ensure this sword frog serves you on many adventures, it's important to care for it properly. Leather is a natural material that develops a beautiful, unique patina with use and time.

• If soiled, wipe the product with a damp cloth only and allow it to air dry naturally.
• From time to time, especially if the leather feels dry, work a small amount of leather balm or beeswax into the surface. This keeps the leather supple and resistant to moisture.
• Never wash the product or dry it near a heat source like a radiator or open fire. The leather would become hard and brittle, leading to cracks.
