One Frog, Many Uses
This sword frog is designed for maximum versatility and security. Simply slide it onto your belt, and you're ready to go.
- LARP and Battles: The combination of adjustable lacing and a snap-fastener safety strap holds the scabbard firmly in place, preventing the sword from falling out even during intense movement. It still allows for a quick and instinctive draw.
- Re-enactment and Faires: Its authentic look and quality craftsmanship make it an excellent accessory for Viking, Norman, and High Medieval costumes.
- Cosplay and Theatre: Elevate your costume. Unlike cheap imitations, this genuine leather frog looks and feels completely authentic.
- Universal Fit: The lacing allows it to adjust to most scabbard types – from narrow rapiers to broader one-handed and hand-and-a-half swords.
A Glimpse into History: Wearing the Sword
In the Middle Ages, there were two primary ways to carry a sword: on a shoulder belt (a baldric) or on a belt frog like this one. While baldrics or simple loops directly on the belt were more popular in the Early Middle Ages and the Viking Age, more complex belt hangers became increasingly common from the High Middle Ages onwards. These allowed the sword to be worn at an optimal angle for both comfortable carrying and a rapid draw.
Did You Know? Peace-Bonding
At many festivals, markets, or upon entering a city in the Middle Ages, a rule known as "peace-bonding" was enforced. Warriors had to visibly secure their weapons so they could not be used immediately – for example, by tying a thong around the hilt and scabbard. It was a symbol that they came in peace. The safety strap on this frog can serve as a modern, practical equivalent of such peace-bonding at similar events today, satisfying event rules while looking great.
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: Most dirt can be removed with a dry cloth. If necessary, use a lightly damp cloth, but never soak the leather.
- Conditioning: To maintain flexibility and protect against moisture, treat the leather from time to time (e.g., once a year) with a leather care product – a balm or oil with a beeswax base.
- Storage: When not in use, store the frog in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- What to Avoid: Never soak the leather, wash it in a machine, or dry it on a heater or in direct sunlight, as it could crack and harden.
