Producers of quality hand-made leather products for Medieval Enthusiasts and Re-enactors

Company Information

Our philosophy: To produce quality leather products for Medieval and Renaissance Enthusiasts that are as authentic as possible. To that end, we offer a unique line of authentic quivers, scabbards, sheaths, targes, and flasks. We also offer items to compliment any period outfit (i.e. mugs, hats, and belts.) Some modern conveniences have been used where necessary, but the designs are still authentic.

Kings Ransom began as a hobby in 1994 and slowly developed a line of authentic medieval reproduction leather products. In 1996, the hobby became a weekend business. In 1998, the weekend business became a full time "shop" out of our living room, which forced us to move to a larger location in 1999. All products are hand made, requiring hours of painstaking cutting, carving, dying, painting, and sewing.

The business had to close for a few years (2002 - 2013) but the second generation of the family has decided to reopen the business. The same quality line of products is offered, with some minor changes for modern items and methods.
