    strangest find at the leather shop today

    I went to the local leather shop to day to get some supplies for my sporranic adventures, and the shopkeeper showed me the strangest thing. From a binof belt buckles, he pulled a bucked that had a celtic know on it. I thought was interesting, and was about to inquire as to the price until he showed me why this buckle was so different. The knot itself was a spinner on the buckle! It blew my mind that someone had crafted a spinning celtic knot belt buckle.

    after I saw that, the buckle lost all of my interest, although the pattern is very similar to that of the knot I have tattooed on my leg.

    has anyone else seen one of these buckles?

    I'll got to the shop tomorrow and see if I can get a picture of this oddity.

    I've looked at a LOT of celtic themed buckles and never saw anything like that. I'd like to see some pics of that one.
    Armageddon was yesterday. Today we have real problem.

    That definately would have lost my interest.

    Was it one of the Celtic Cross buckles that we have on our site? If so, I've seen it as well and there's a REASON we didn't order it.

    I don't know too many guys in kilts who need belt buckle "bling".

    there are loads of spinner buckles out there. I've seen ones that look like car wheels, ones that look like vinyl records. It's a hip-hop thing.

    I'm not really into the spinners but
    I kinda think buckles that are more than just buckles are cool.
    Ever seen a flask buckle? Or one that holds a zippo lighter? They exist!

    Note to self: scratch the hydrolic sporran with underglow kit proto-type.

    although it did get 5 miles to the dram

    Is that a turning buckle? Just checking for any lost-in-translation. well a pic I'd like to see. I make alot of jewellery with moving parts just for fun, esp rings. Good for nervous people who fiddle all the time.Or just get bored.
    Cheers,

    yes, the knot in the center spins around like a pinwheel.

    Crazy. Then there are many celtic knots that imply that:
