amazingly impracticable for me as I play Bass... that buckle would result in a major case of buckle rash on it...

You could put an eye out with that thing, depending on where your, um, head was.

Wearing art on your belt is a fine thing, but this isn't the design I'd have chosen for that location. Snagging it on the surroundings would seem to be an issue, as is... "Is that your belt buckle, or are you glad to see me?"

I suppose people managed to learn not to bump their codpieces into things, so maybe it's managable. But my reaction is "Nice bit of metalwork, but that isn't where I'd put it unless I *wanted* people heckling me for impracticality of design."

Sure, it's impractical but it's also totally amazing! It's not something you'd wear everyday but at certain times it would make a great conversation piece. Good job, I say!

This belt is TOTALLY practical on Scrappers.

Replace the "trophy head" with a skull.

What do you think now?

One of these would've come in handy just an hour ago, when I needed a place to hang my umbrella while picking up a few things in the produce aisle.

Skulls have been done to death (ha ha).

In the bondage community I guess this would be called a "meat tenderiser".

It's a nice casting job, although you can imagine a lot of other things that could be there instead of a deers head.

It definitely would catch on anything, fortunately the antlers are rounded.

I've been thinking of doing some custom buckles, although I like bronze better... this is inspiration.

...Two things popped into my head when I first saw this:

1) Anyone with a gut that hangs over the belt - like yours truly - would *not* be in the market for one of these!

2) Sting as Feyd-Rautha, proclaiming Soto Vocce to the Maud'Dib "You see your death!"

...Yeah, it's the narco/soma combination talking again, but what the frack, eh? :-)

You forgot to mention that it's a bottle opener and a drink holder and it's solid sterling silver! I got a sneak preview of the belt buckle earlier this week and while I have to admit it was a little disconcerting to catch sight of something protruding from that region (he's a married man after all) it's an impressive piece of work.

Goodness that's an ugly buckle. It makes no sense at all.

I'm tired of reading about cool things that have been made that I can't buy. Surely there are some cool designs actually being produced.

an excellent idea. As the evening wears on and the drinks multiply, all the males could gather in the center of the room and with hands clasped behind their backs, vie for who gets to go home with the doe.

The cartoon-like rendering of the deer head makes it truly great.

Goodness that's an ugly buckle. It makes no sense at all.

But, what if it was a SKULL?

:D

I think it would be way cooler if it was an actual stuffed head of a weasel. Or maybe a baby squirrel. It's not much of a trophy if you just make a sculpture out of metal.

that way lies madness. Next then, an actual codpiece. After that, ornamented condoms. Can you picture a Trojan stoat? (shudder!)

I have a fur sporran. Does that count?

only if the back is open
