palani21 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 alrighty kids...my wotancraft straps and buckle have arrived today and so i thought i'd do a little review of my experience and end result:D first off i was not quite sure if these guys were really legit and if the straps and buckles were as good as they looked in the pictures, but after i had read tswisst's thread and several members had chimed in that they were satisfied i said screw it and ordered a egiziano strap, a kampfschwimmer strap, and a buckle. about an hour after checking out through pp i got a email confirmation from wontancraft saying: Dear Sir/ Madam, Thank you for purchasing WOTANCRAFT products. Your payment had been received. I will process your orders as fast as possible. The lead time of HandMade Strap Order will be 15~20 business days. I will send a notification in advance if the schedule is full. All packages will be sent via EMS. I ship worldwide! Thanks again! Hope you enjoy it! Sincerely, WOTANCRAFT www.wotancraft.com i felt pretty good and now just had to wait a couple of weeks until 5 days ago i got a delivery confirmation saying that my order had been shipped...4 days later they arrived here, but i was out when they came yesterday so went to pick up today. the reason i included this is that they quoted 15-20 business days and by my calculations that's 10 business days until shipped and a total of 13 till they were in my hands which for me is a big deal...i always love business and individuals that under promise and over deliver and they definitely did that:D upon opening the package i can say that i was blown away...the packaging was nice and upon opening the first box which was the buckle, the first thing that pops out at you is a thank you card w/ product info...then i got a glimpse at the product and included in the box was a nice buckle but also a screwdriver...saweet!... so i'm stoked and now wondering what the straps look like...i open up the first strap box again to find a thank you note and then the strap...the kampschwimmer encased in an airtight package. i take it out and then noticed that there is something else...a sub keychain w/ a nice leather loop....saaaaweet. then under all this is a nice bag for the strap...kewl. so after all this...how are the straps?...well i gotta say that they're pretty dope...nice soft feel, craftmanship is there and they look as they did in the pics:) ...my only knock on them is the sewn-in buckle which is a little weak/light...definitely not the gpf buckles you'll find on a gunny, but they're ok. overall i'm very satisfied w/ the entire experience from beginning to end...the prices for the straps were $159 each and the buckle was $49 and based on what i got and how i got it i feel that the price points are justified and i'd buy again:D so that's about it from the middle of the pacific except i'll let the gazillion pic do the rest of the talking;) what i received... buckle... kampschwimmer... egiziano...

redwatch Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Thanks for that review! I was curious about them as well but now that a few folks have been the guinea pigs, I feel pretty good about them! They look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palani21 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 right on my braddahz... well, got them mounted on the ladies and took a couple of wristies w/ the morning light so you can see the true color kampschwimmer on 243... egi on 201... i gotta say the egi is my fav of the two...just has a super soft feel about her and the color tones look like they'll only get better w/ age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mir36 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Great review Palani. I've been on the fence about these guys, but your endorsement/review is the decider. One question, does the buckle-side strap of the Egi have 3 folds? Vintage dorks like me want to know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
