Description
The baldric belt is designed to sling over the shoulder and cross the chest, allowing the sword to hang comfortably at the opposite hip. This arrangement shifts the sword’s full weight to the waist, while the shoulder strap offers additional support, making it easier to carry heavier blades like longswords or claymores over long periods.
Crafted from sturdy, genuine black leather, this baldric is reinforced with solid brass rivets and buckles, ensuring durability and a secure fit. The section where the sword rests,the scabbard area,is made from thick leather, stitched firmly and reinforced with brass rivets to withstand wear from the blade’s edge. This part is adjustable, so you can tailor it precisely to your sword’s length using the buckles. Likewise, the shoulder strap adjusts to fit comfortably across your chest and shoulder.
This style of baldric was common in medieval times for warriors wielding longer swords, as it allowed quick access while distributing the weight effectively. Keep in mind, the sword itself is not included with the baldric.

Fun fact: In medieval times, a leather sword hanger with a waist frog allowed knights to keep their swords securely fastened while riding horseback, preventing the blade from swinging wildly and ensuring it was always within easy reach.
