Leather Belt Frog with Steel Ring, Brown
Authentic Design and High Durability
This leather holder is inspired by historical models, and its robust construction is designed to withstand heavy use. The leather is carefully processed and riveted with two strong rivets that hold the steel ring. The brown leather colour gives the frog a classic, versatile look that easily combines with most period belts and costumes. It is ideal for Viking, medieval, and fantasy costumes.
How to Use the Belt Frog
Usage is very simple. You thread the leather loop on the top of the frog through your belt. The frog is designed for belts with a width of up to 5 cm (approx. 2 inches). Once the frog is securely on your belt, you can hang an axe, mace, hammer, a sword with a narrow blade (if it's without a scabbard and has a wider guard that rests on the ring), or any other tools or weapons with a suitable handle into the robust steel ring. This way, you'll always have your tool at hand without restricting your movement.
Historical Insight: The Tool Frog Through the Ages
Holders similar to this frog have been used since ancient times. In the Early Middle Ages and the Viking Age, they were an important part of warriors' and craftsmen's equipment, allowing them to carry tools and weapons comfortably at their waist. It wasn't just about practicality – a well-made holder could also be a sign of status and taste. It's a detail that shows you've paid attention to even the smaller but important elements of your kit.

Care for Your Leather Belt Frog
To ensure your frog serves you for a long time and in perfect condition:
- Keep the leather dry. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally; never place it in direct sunlight or on a heater.
- Occasionally treat it with leather balm or oil to keep it supple and prevent it from drying out and cracking.
- Wipe the steel ring with a dry cloth after contact with moisture to prevent corrosion (even if it's chrome-plated, prolonged contact with moisture is not good for it).
- Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Please note: As this is a handmade item from natural materials, slight variations in colour, leather texture, or finish may occur, making each piece unique.
