Members BridleButt Posted March 4, 2023 Members Report Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) I was wandering through Tandy's last week and came across some "Vintage, glazed, Water Buffalo Bend". It was actually pretty nice and even reasonably priced. Was all set to sew it last night and my damn awl blade tip snapped off so I'll have to break out the whetstone today. I want to do a sword belt later on but have to do some research so it's period correct. The buckle is from Hanover Brass. Edited March 4, 2023 by BridleButt Quote

Members rleather Posted March 4, 2023 Members Report Posted March 4, 2023 That is a nice looking belt. Some time ago, I got got a pioneer bag kit from Weaver leather, it was the same water buffalo. It was a stiff leather and will take quite awhile to soften , but when it does it will be one great bag. Be sure and post a pic of the sword belt . Quote

Looks like it will last another 40 years. Great keepsake to pass on to other generations when the time comes.
