I just purchased a deployment clasp and while I am waiting for a new custom strap to come in I was wondering if the current croc strap I have on tang and buckle would work? Is the tang and buckle on the strap just secured with a pin that I could remove with a 6767F? I took a look at it but figured I would see if anyone has done this before.

Hi, it will sortof work but will look pony, I would advise waiting till you get the real thing.
Btb you say custom, what are you getting and from who?

Yes, the tank buckle is secured with a spring bar, easily removed with the 6767F tool.
It never crossed my mind to try this, so I did it just to see what it would look like.
Here you go:

Thanks wessa! I appreciate that. Seems it might offer a different look for me while I wait. I appreciate you trying it out. I assume it feels just as comfortable as a strap meant for the clasp? I guess the keeper is really the only thing holding it back really.

I ordered a grey alcantara strap with burgundy stitching and padding from Combat Straps. Up and comer from Montreal. All hand cut, assembled, stitched, as well as his finished edges. He has an IG page. Actually where I found him. Then did some more recon before I ordered. He seems to do some pretty great work. Plus only a week turn around. So I figured I would give it a try. I'll post some pics when it arrives. It will be around the 12th as I only ordered it yesterday. With the two weekends in between it extends the time.

The deployant can also make a nice dent in the strap, which some will care about more than others.

You will find that a deployant will last much longer than a tang, a wise investment if you get on with them.

Good point Wrangler. I will only be using it for a week or so if I end up doing it. As my clasp will be here on Monday and the strap not for another week. Not to wrote of about in though as I really don't wear it much because I find it uncomfortable.

No doubt Alan M. I have never been a big fan of the tang anyway. I basically don't wear it at all really because I find the tang uncomfortable in comparison to any tang I have ever worn. I am def a deployment guy for sure.

Have a look at ABP Paris.

I have, but for the prices that they are charging I would rather save a bit longer and just go with OEM. They really do make some incredible stuff though.
