Scabbard

The Magnificent Seven. The Seven Samurai.

Excellent!

Very interesting combination that comes off better than I thought it would. If you went more Japanese style (look at some tsuba, woodblock prints, etc) rather than Sheridan it would be even better. Though the tooling style on scabbard cover is not traditional, the leather handle wrap certainly is. A little nerdish point about Japanese scabbards. One of the reason that wood was chosen is because the sword is held in the scabbard by the copper (usually) collar. In a properly fitted scabbard no other part of the blade touches the scabbard. I have never seen pictures of a tooled leather scabbard cover (though that doesn't mean they didn't exist) but there were definetly sharkskin and tigerskin covers.

Don't forget KILL BILL I, AND II. Total meshing of Samuri and Spagetti Western genre. ZHH660626, What was the inspiration for this. I know there is not a love between the Japenese from the Chinese, Why not a Chinese pattern blade? What kind of blade is shown?

Young likes cold steel on time, since before they start the traditional way Cowhide Carving knife method to do change my style now.

Japanese knife is a knife in hand, Central China's evolution. As of today the formation of its unique culture.

The Cowhide Carving I want to practice my own style, its own faction. This also includes the Chinese swords. This is like a sword.

Absolutely beautiful work! I really like the way the flowers stand out. Could you tell us how you did that? What processes and finishes did you use?
