I have DBK working on a scabbard for the Albion Dane. He sent me a photo of the chape:

Very nice!  I wish DBK would branch out and consider making lockets.  I don't know a lot about fine metal work, but if he can make such nice chapes, I can't imagine why a locket would be harder.

Neat. That's going to be one heck of a scabbard.

Man, I'm excited to see how it turns out.  I really need to get ahold of a sword that would be worthy of a DBK scabbard...I mean, another one.  lol

I'm excited about it too. I couldn't decide on patterned tooling, so I'm letting him surprise me. I just picked the color, and he expanded on the sketch for the chape I gave him.

I'm envious...in a nice way, of course.  It is going to be a real beauty!  Is he still trying to do gun stuff?  He showed me some prelim stuff last year, but I haven't heard anything else about it.

That chape looks awfully familiar!  That is one sexy scabbard!  Assuming it's yours, congratulations!

WOW, that's absolutely stunning! It may be the best looking scabbard I have ever seen.

Yep! He just sent me the link too:

http://www.dbkcustomswords.com/custscabbs/ETAlbionDane.html

Basically after telling him I wanted wire wraps in it, gave him a simple sketch for a chape, and chose oxblood, I let him run with that and surprise me.

It's freaking amazing!

Well, I just sent him the remainder of the payment tonight, so I doubt he'll ship it fast enough. I'll cross my fingers though. :)

Boy, now I need to take a break from buying toys for a while. This month I've spent money on this scabbard, a poleaxe, and a couple of shields. And that Albion is still a ticking time-bomb too. :)
