DJole Report post Posted September 11, 2018 Nice use of period design motifs, and excellent handwork. As the leaf-shaped blade is wider at the 'waist' than at the hilt, the scabbard sides can't all be sewn up (or else the blade wouldn't go in/come out). Is there a slit on the "top" edge of the scabbard? And finally, Is the scabbard based on a surviving historical piece? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The design is based off of artwork found on pottery from ancient Greece, but there is some debate on the materials that would have been used. I had a little creative freedom in the process.
