Bladed Belt question

[C4ptChunk]

Can you make a Bladed Belt with special materials like Cold Iron? It does have metal studs on it which I am guessing are what transform into the weapons.

The bladed belt has no "base cost" for the non-magical component - not even a masterwork cost. This means special materials that multiply the base cost, like dragonhide or cold iron, can't be calculated.

Actually the 2000 gold is the equivalent of the masterwork cost when determining the price to give it magical bonuses.

"Furthermore, the belt can be enchanted like a piercing and slashing melee weapon, using the cost of the belt as the cost of the masterwork item."

Let's look at what the rules say/

Bladed Belt

"Rather than being made of one continuous line of material, this belt consists of many bits of tanned leather joined together by thick metal studs."

Sounds to me like it's primarily leather with metal bits, rather like studded leather armor.
