We all like things that are shiny and pretty but sometimes it isn't what the situation calls for. If you are a blacksmith at a historical forge at a museum or park, this option is for you; Hand-Forged Buckles. These simple but well made, Hand Forged Buckles, are made by a Utah smith who himself attends reenactment camps and events. They are forge welded, lightly descaled and dipped in linseed oil to help preserve their black finish. We attach them to your leather apron along with a strap keeper to preserve your authentic, period blacksmith look. For more information, visit Forge-Aprons.com
