Leather Frog for Axe, Tomahawk, Hatchet, Sword, Dagger
This sturdy 10-11 oz BLACK drum dyed bridle leather frog is the same premium product that I've made for thousands of SCA and Ren-Faire participants. It is sealed the full length on all sides to prevent die transfer onto your attire. It is crafted from 1 1/2" strap and and fitted with a solid metal ring to hold a variety of pommeled or headed weapons upon your belt. These are very popular with SCA and LARP fighters who would like a handy simple harness to hold a weapon. It has excellent utility for holding flashlights or anything else that you'd like to keep close at hand.
People have found that they work quite well for multi-cell Mag-lite flashlights too. Many uses.
Options:
- Color: being Black or Chestnut.
- Bore: We can accommodate different requests for bore of the weapon by adjusting the ring size. Just let us know what you'd like and we'll craft something to make you happy. Some extra charges may apply to pay for the additional cost of hardware and shipping.
- Width: This is made from 1-1/2 inch wide sealed bridle leather.
- Rivets: We use matching rivets to the color of the ring. Brass with brass. Steel with steel.
This useful frog is handmade entirely with hand tools in our smoke free workshop in Saint Albans, Vermont.

Thickness/Weight of Leather
Harnesses of much thinner grade leather have been from other armorers for somewhat less or somewhat more than what we ask. Every belt maker claims to make the best gear along with the inferiority of others. Our decades of experience has shown that a bridle leather has a lifespan of at least as many decades despite any outlandish claims to the contrary. It should come as no surprise that more costly leather delivers a better result.
Quality Hardware
We make absolutely no compromise on quality. This is reflected in our choice of superior hardware that deliver decades of use. We've chosen carefully, others sellers haven't. It's your choice "silver/gold colored" or REAL SOLID CORROSION PROOF METAL. These are mounted using olde world hand tools to be flush or inset below the leather surface. We encourage buyers to compare.
Finished Edges
It's possible to take a strip of leather, stitch or rivet it together and call that done. But a good piece should have a finished bevel to the sides. Again trying to substitute speed for quality will make a belt that is less that you deserve. Check those edges...
