Baron – The Ruthless Elegance
We are free to choose our shackles. And the range is quite broad. This neck shackle is not one of those delicate and discreet ones. It cannot be labelled as a generic welded product purely serving a purpose. This shackle is stylish, heavy, solid and cold to the touch. It is impossible not to feel it. It has been designed for those who desire more authentic experiences and care about the aesthetics.
Features
- Ergonomic design- Inner circle is a slight ellipse for better comfort
- No pinching- The hinge and the closing parts are deliberately designed to minimise the risk of injuries
- Off center locking- The collar can be put on without the necessity to unleash
- Allen screw locking- A single stainless steel screw holds the parts firmly
- Three anchor loops- Two on each side and one in the centre of the front part
- 100% handmade, No welding
My aim was to create an elegant and functional design thanks to which I can use all the pros of the CNC material cutting. This technology allowed me to achieve a precision of each part that were shaped and riveted to the perfection. It is a blacksmith made item. Even though, the single elements were heated to acquire the scaly texture, the whole product is not hand forged.
Backstory
I started to manufacture hand-forged collars in 2014. One day I showed my work to a fellow blacksmith and he would bet the collar was made by CNC. First, I saw it as something offending since I have never used this technology, however, after a second thought, I realised he meant it more as a compliment He must have thought that it was way too precise to be manufactured. He made me think and actually gave me an incentive to do things differently. I have been researching about this technology and found out I could implement it to realise all my ideas I have been collecting while producing handmade collars. The next thing I knew I was buying a book along with a software and fully immersed myself into designing. Shortly after I understood that this technology opened a plenty of new doors for me. And Baron is the first evidence of this great new leap I have taken.
