Hi,

Today I will share with you all the result of hard work ....

I make my own damascus buckle!

what you see in the picture is the prototype

As you will see from the pictures I have preferred the use of spring bars instead of the screw to simulate the buckle sewn (I really like the look of the old straps ..) and give the possibility to replace it and use it on each strap.

now I need your help and ask all your advice, what do you think?


here are some questions:

- "Could be successful in the production quantities?"
- "You would use to you?"
- "What would you change from an aesthetic point of view?"
- "What do you think the use of spring bars?"


thanks in advance for all your responses.


here are the pictures:


..and this is the result of much work.....








particular of the holes for the spring bars





measures:






and here it is mounted in some straps...















thanks for looking!
P.S. sorry for my english......... :undecided: my only help is google traslator:D

Very impressive grade A job

When you told me of this project without other details you have injected in my mind so much curiosity and now finally the secret has been revealed. Great, there are no other words, is a true art. I sincerely hope that is in production soon and on the wrist of many members!

[archierocks]

well if you put that in to production i will take min 15 off you

[jbetts1790]

wow that looks fantastic!

[japanic]

Simply stunning. Even I'm not a PAM enthusiast I'm blown away!

Not too long ago I saw a PAM homage where the case and buckle had etchings done in the style of Maori tattoos. And that company was charging 1000+ dollars for an homage with a Mitoya movement!

Have you ever tried it on a case?

Spectacular.. Is that carbon steel or stainless?

[mellons]

buckle looks great!

spring bars are easier to make and will look similar to screw-in

cost will be the main issue with these imho

I've only seen it on knives before. Depending on the price I'd get one.
