I ordered this Hemp Sword Belt for a Christmas present to myself. It is a nice addition to my sword collection. I also didn't expect it to turn out as great as it did. I thought that it would look more plain. There are water buffalo bone rings around the back (pics of that to come). the project in progress was recorded on a post by Liam at the following link: /index.cgi?board=swordcustom&action=display&thread=13621
The belt is a great fit since I sent Liam my belt size for accuracy. The rings are a representation of a Taoist tradition. The belt, itself is a common man's type, not the usual knight's style of belt, made from leather. I am very happy with the design, even with the longer piece of belt to tuck over the belt... an added plus for the over all traditional look of the belt.
The angle is a little shallow for my personal preference, but I should have told Liam when ordering, that I prefer the steeper angle. For the light weight Jin-Shi jian that I ordered it for though, the angle is sufficient.
I have included a pic of me wearing the belt with jian, and a vid of me drawing the sword from the belt. I believe that, should you order one of these for yourself, then you would be most happy. Make sure to tell Liam what angle of draw you want, and any other customizations you want. Also make sure to give him the belt size you normally wear.
For an added attraction, in wearing this sword belt with your favorite sword, if your wife/ girlfriend (if girlfriend, don't tell your wife... LOL), My wife said it looked sexy on me. Just picture yourself wearing a classic sword belt with your favorite sword while playing swashbuckler saving the barmaid with your woman... well that may be too much information.... LOL.
