I hope Ryan Popov is still monitoring this comment thread. I need to know just how "heavy duty" this belt is? Would it suffice as a gun belt without sagging/folding over time? Will it handle large camp knives without sagging/folding? I have a very good gun gun belt, but it's close to 15 years old, and after being worn nearly every waking minute of every day during that time, it's ready to be replaced. It's a 2-ply bull leather piece, made for carrying fairly heavy loads without folding or sagging. Some in this thread have said this belt is soft, so I'm concerned that it won't suit my purposes. Not looking for any anti-gun comments by asking this question. I'm really hoping that Ryan Popov will be the only one to answer my question.

BlueTomHey, Ryan here. This is a heavyweight chromexcel leather, but it's also soft and comfortable out of the gate (so to speak). Full grain Horween leather means it will not sag or fold. This belt will b a fine replacement to your 15 year old belt. If it isn't, you let me know and I'll make it right. We have a LOT of folks who carry and this belt meets and exceeds their needs. Feel free to email me directly: ryan@popovleather.com and rest assured, if it does not meet your needs it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

RyanPopoffThanks much, Ryan. Not positive I can swing it this go-around (already bought a knife I didn't check with the wife about beforehand), but hoping to see this drop (or one similar) again soon if I can't. Appreciate the quick reply.

BlueTomThe belt is very soft and feels supple, but is not rigid enough for carrying a handgun. Also, the buckle is retained by rivets, not screws, so cannot be replaced.
