I know that I can fold them over or cut them around a coin, but that does not appeal to me. I have a 6.5 inch wrist.

I also have a 6.5” wrist and simply cut them, rounded, with a sharp pair of scissors and then sear the cut end with a lighter. Done. Unfortunately given the ease of this approach, I’m unaware whether there is anyone who sells a short version.

Traditional NATO straps are 290-300mm, look for brands that have shorter lengths, might work.

Or look at a two piece NATO strap which won't be long. All the same colors and combinations, some with same hardware, even in leather, but on two straps

In the BBQ business, They call my result burnt ends. It is sort of black. I am more a model than a craftsman.

Don’t touch the fabric to the flame and you’ll avoid the carbon deposits. Just bring the cut nylon up to 1/4 “ from the flame and you’ll have clean melt.
