The Evolution of Sword Hangers in History

The method of carrying a sword constantly evolved throughout history, along with the weapons themselves. While early medieval swords were often carried on a shoulder belt (a baldric), the popularity of belt frogs grew in later periods with the advent of longer and differently balanced weapons. Sophisticated systems with multiple straps, like this one, not only allowed for secure carrying but also for adjusting the angle at which the sword hung, which had a crucial impact on comfort while walking and the speed of the draw.

A Point of Interest: The Angle of the Sword as a Calling Card

The angle at which a warrior carried their sword could reveal a great deal about their status or intentions. A courtier with a light rapier might wear the weapon almost vertically for elegance and comfort in social settings. A soldier on the march might adjust their sword to hang further back to keep it out of the way while walking. A fencer or duellist, on the other hand, might prefer an angle further forward for the fastest possible draw in case of a duel. The adjustability of the sword frog was therefore not just a practical advantage, but a tactical and social one as well.

Caring for Your Leather Product

Genuine leather is a durable material that, with proper care, will last you for many years and develop a beautiful patina.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Most dirt can be removed with a dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but never soak the leather.
• Conditioning: To maintain flexibility and protect the leather from moisture, treat it from time to time (e.g., once a year) with a leather care product—a balm or oil based on beeswax. Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first.
• Storage: When not in use, store the frog in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

What to Avoid

• Never soak the leather or wash it in a washing machine.
• Do not dry it on a radiator or in direct sunlight, as it can become brittle and hard.
• Avoid contact with modern chemicals, solvents, and aggressive cleaning agents.
