Cross-Draw Leather Sword Frog with Brass Buckles – Adjustable Holder for Medieval Blades

Description

This adjustable cross-draw leather sword frog blends functional design with medieval character, offering secure blade carrying in a style worn by travelers, mercenaries, and knights from the later medieval era into the Renaissance. With its dual-strap construction and solid brass hardware, it keeps your weapon snug against the hip while allowing for smooth, instinctive access—ideal for situations requiring swift readiness.

Handcrafted from thick, full-grain leather, the frog is semi-rigid yet comfortable, holding its shape without adding bulk. Its adjustable opening fits a range of blades—from broadswords to sabers or even theatrical props—making it a versatile companion for any kit. Whether you’re wearing a left- or right-hand draw, both versions are available to suit your needs.

The classic brass buckle closures are more than decorative—they offer precise adjustment and firm hold, ensuring your weapon doesn’t slip or sway. Rich brown leather brings a warm, timeworn tone, while sleek black leather creates a sharper contrast against polished brass fittings.

Designs like this evolved during the late Middle Ages as a solution for drawing longer weapons on foot or horseback. By shifting the draw to the opposite hip, warriors could clear a blade more easily without interference from armor or cloaks. This style of frog remained in use well into the Renaissance among soldiers, travelers, and duelists alike.

Whether worn for an event, stage use, or as part of a historical display, this frog provides both visual appeal and dependable function for any sword bearer.
