Yes it is. But making the buckles is a much dirtier job

Question: how much for that 24mm?

Some new buckles. 24, 26mm, thin or thick not all quite finished

New 26mm buckle.



and a 3mm thick 24mm buckle - beat up style.

I had some of the buckles bead blasted. I think they look pretty cool The five in front were made by me and the two in the back row are reshaped and flattened stock buckles (IMHO the stock PAM buckles are too curvy). The other three are stock buckles.

Freshly DLC coated

These made by me:



Two of these are stock and the one on the right reshaped by me:

super looking buckles- we are all suffering here since elias retirement!

With my super secret custom made bending tools, naturally Essentially, a hardened nail and a pair of pliers. Place the tang on cutting board, near edge, press it down with the nail, bend up with fingers - cut excess, re-finish the end - bend around buckle with pliers.

I see from your pictures that the tang is connected to the body of the buckle with a pin, is this a spring pin by chance?
