Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip Review: A Simple Carrying Solution for Your Saber

If you own a lightsaber replica, you know the struggle of carrying it around at conventions, events, or even just around the house. A loose saber in your hand can be awkward, and stuffing it into a bag risks scratches or damage. That's where the Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip from SaberForge comes in—a simple, affordable accessory that lets you attach your saber to your belt for hands-free carrying.

In this review, we'll take a close look at the Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip, its build quality, how it attaches to your saber, and whether it's worth adding to your collection. We'll also compare it to other carrying solutions and share tips for getting the best fit.

Design and Build Quality

The Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip is a small, metal accessory designed to attach to your saber's hilt via a standard belt clip mount. It features two D-rings that can be clipped onto a belt or a strap, providing a secure anchor point. The clip itself is made of durable metal with a black finish that matches most saber hilts. It's lightweight—barely adding any noticeable weight to your saber—and compact enough to not interfere with your grip during combat.

Compared to other carrying solutions like the In Hilt Recharge port or a simple covertec wheel, the Double Belt D-Ring offers a more universal attachment method. It works with any belt up to about 2 inches wide and clips on and off easily. The D-rings are sturdy and have a smooth finish to prevent snagging on clothing.

• Material: Durable metal with black finish
• Weight: Approximately 20 grams
• Compatibility: Fits standard belt clip mounts on SaberForge hilts
• Belt width: Up to 2 inches

Installation and Compatibility

Installing the Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip is straightforward. Most SaberForge hilts, including the Praetorian Apprentice Emitter and the Stalwart Apprentice Emitter, have a pre-drilled hole for a belt clip screw. Simply screw the clip into the hole using the included screw, and you're ready to go. No tools required beyond a small screwdriver or even just your fingers if the screw is knurled.

One thing to note is that the clip sits flush against the hilt, so it won't rotate or wobble once tightened. However, if you plan to use it with a saber that has a thin neck or a delicate emitter like the Eris Mk2 Apprentice Emitter, make sure the screw doesn't interfere with internal electronics. In most cases, the screw is short enough to avoid any issues.

• Tip: Use a small drop of threadlocker on the screw to prevent it from loosening during active use.
• Compatible with all SaberForge hilts that have a belt clip mount hole.

Real-World Use: Carrying Your Saber

Once installed, the Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip makes carrying your saber a breeze. Simply clip the D-rings onto your belt or a strap, and the saber hangs securely at your side. The double D-ring design distributes weight evenly and prevents the saber from swinging too much while walking. I tested it at a local comic convention, walking around for hours, and the clip held firm without any slipping or detachment.

One potential drawback is that the clip adds a bit of bulk to the hilt, making it slightly harder to holster in a tight belt loop. Also, if you're using a very heavy saber—like one with a thick blade and a large pommel—the clip may not be enough to keep the saber perfectly vertical; it might tilt slightly. For most standard-sized sabers, though, it works great.

• Pros: Easy to install, secure hold, works with various belt widths.
• Cons: May tilt with very heavy sabers, adds slight bulk to hilt.

Comparison with Other Carrying Solutions

SaberForge offers several carrying accessories, including the Commando Pommel (which has a built-in belt clip) and the Dummy Switch (which can be used as a covertec wheel mount). The Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip is unique because it doesn't require a specific pommel or switch—it attaches directly to the hilt body. This makes it a versatile option if you want to keep your pommel or switch choices open.

Another option is the Blade Plug - Elite Round Cog, which can be used to secure the blade when not in use, but it doesn't help with carrying the hilt. For those who want a simple, no-fuss carrying solution, the Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip is hard to beat in terms of simplicity and cost.

• Versatile: Works with any hilt that has a belt clip hole.
• Cost-effective: Lower price than pommel-mounted solutions.

The Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip is a practical, affordable accessory for any saber enthusiast who wants to carry their hilt hands-free. Its sturdy build, easy installation, and universal compatibility make it a great addition to your gear. Whether you're heading to a convention or just want to keep your saber close while doing chores, this clip delivers. Check out the Commando Pommel if you prefer a built-in clip, but for a standalone solution, the Double Belt D-Ring Belt Clip is a solid choice.
