∴ Leatherwork ∴
There's nothing quite like swaggering into the salle with your sword swinging at your side. It's moments like that which remind us of the fantasy idylls that got us into swordfighting in the first place. It's also a lot easier to draw a sword from your belt than it is to scrabble around on the floor for it in your clunky protective gloves!
We're happy to provide bespoke adjustable sword belts and baldrics, so you can wear your sword with pride, whether storming a castle or waiting for class to begin.
We are also the crafters and creators the durable, lightweight Lycan Gorget, which has become a standard for safe sparring.
∴ Sword Belts∴
Our custom sword belts are made up of two parts:
-
A made-to-measure belt that buckles around the waist or hip, and features two integral rings
-
A "frog" that buckles onto the rings of the belt, and suspends the swords via three adjustable buckled straps.
Sword belts can be made in a leather colour of your choice (black, dark brown, oxblood red, dark blue, forest green, purple and teal) with either brass or steel buckles and rings.
The belt can be worn either way round, with the frog buckled on to the rings on either side of the body, making it an ideal ambidextrous solution.

∴ Baldrics ∴
Our custom baldrics are made from a single piece, with a thick buckled strap that can be slung over the shoulder, and an integral three-buckled frog.
These can be made for left-handed or right-handed wear, depending on your dominant sword hand.
Baldrics can be made in a leather colour of your choice (black, dark brown, oxblood red, dark blue, forest green, purple and teal) with either brass or steel buckles.
PRICE: £100
∴ GORGETS ∴
The Lycan gorget is made from layers of rugged 3mm Kydex plastic over thick leather, protecting your throat from errant thrusts.
Designed to be worn comfortably over or under a fencing jacket, the Lycan is super lightweight and low-profile while covering the all-important throat area from below and head-on.
Its durable articulated construction allows for a full range of unimpeded head movement, while the rolled blade catcher keeps you safe from any slips.
Light enough for a quick practice yet sturdy enough for serious sparring, the stylish Lycan gorget exemplifies grace under pressure.
PRICE: £75
∴ Ordering ∴
Our gorgets, baldrics and sword belts appear on our online shop whenever we have some in stock. They can be ordered here for immediate dispatch.
However, if you are looking for a custom belt or baldric in colours of your choice, simply get in touch with your preferences. We will ask for your waist or shoulder-to-hip measurements, so we can ensure a comfortable fit.
We can add a belt or baldric to an existing sword order, to ship together, or make bespoke suspension to match a favourite sword.
If you would like custom tooling on your belt or baldric, let us know what you have in mind, and we may be able to add a simple design for an additional cost.
