The Object Spikes on the strap.A brass lion at the front. The Guardian is a small dog spiked collar with one extra piece of brass at the front. A solid brass lion's head, hand set into the leather, sits where you can see it from across the room.
The rest is what you would expect from a real handmade collar. 30mm brass spikes, 4mm full grain cowhide, solid brass buckle, solid brass D ring. Made By hand, to order Build time 3 to 5 working days Ships Free, worldwide Warranty 1 year The Numbers Five specs worth knowing.
Every number here is measured, not rounded. 1.2in Brass spike length 30 mm, hand riveted 0.8in Strap width About 2 cm, slim fit 4mm Full grain cowhide Thick cut, single hide 11.8–22in Neck range 30 to 56 cm, XS to XL ONE Solid brass lion's head Hand set at the front Build Details Four parts. Zero shortcuts.
Each part is sourced, set, and finished by the same maker. Part A Full Grain Cowhide 4mm of full grain cowhide cut from a single hide. The natural surface is left intact, so what you see is the real grain, not pressed pattern on bonded scrap.
Thick enough to take the spikes and the lion, soft enough to break in around a small dog's neck. Part B Solid Brass Spikes 30mm cone tipped spikes machined from solid brass, set across the strap. On a slim 0.8 inch collar these spikes stand tall and proud, the same hardware you would see on a bigger collar, just sitting on a smaller dog.
Each one is riveted by hand through the full leather and clinched flat on the back. Part C Brass Buckle and D Ring Roller buckle and welded D ring, solid brass throughout. The D ring is welded shut so it cannot pop open under a hard pull.
The buckle stays smooth in the hand for as many years as the collar lasts. Part D Brass Lion's Head A solid brass lion's head sits at the front of the strap, hand set into the leather. Not stamped tin, not plated zinc, not a charm strung on a jump ring.
Solid brass that wears its patina alongside the spikes and the buckle, so the whole collar ages as one piece. It is the part of this collar people will ask you about. The Difference Built better in every part.
