Sir William:
I keep saying my next commission will be a full-on custom, thinking Lundemo.  Not sure yet if I want a singlehander or a longsword.  Suppose I should go w/a longsword since the one I did have, I let go sometime last year in a trade for a katana.

Sir James A:
That's a neat video, thanks for posting that Ed.

Ian:
Christian is back at work on the scabbard!  Here's a couple new shots!  Looks like it's about done.

Freshly dyed:


Belt added (I elected to go with a two-point suspension because it's plausible for late 14th century and I don't have a plaque belt to hang a locket/hook style suspension from).  Well, that and no one seems to actually know what type of suspension was in use at the time.

Sir Edward:

Looking good!

Yeah, there's a bunch of art showing the two-pronged tie sort of belts in the 12th and 13th, and we know about complex suspensions in the 15th and 16th.. but you're right, I don't think I've seen much about the 14th.

I'm thinking about going with a similar suspension on my next one. I want to get the Talhoffer into a scabbard so I can use that one with 15th century gear.

Sir Brian:
That's a beauty! :)
