Frogs are adjustable and more secure (aside from the over the shoulder kind), they keep long swords from flapping around every time you move. As shown there are also frogs that do not use a belt at all, the second image, which makes it easy to doff and don a sword. Here is a great video on the different ways swords were worn, you will notice the first and last 3 methods all use frogs. youtube.com/watch?v=_YT52eMWUsA | |

When the SLR (L1A1) was the standard service rifle there was a scabbard and a frog. When preparing for a parade, the scabbards needed a new layer of paint while the frogs needed a new layer of lacquer - much easier to do with the items separated. | |
