Scabbards

[Sir Edward]

Man, I'm definitely not buying more swords for a while. I just put myself in the queue this past week for a pair of custom scabbards. At least I have a year to save up, since that's about how long the backlog is for these.

I'm looking into one for my Albion Chevalier from Christian Fletcher, similar to this one but in blue and black:

And for my Albion Landgraf, I'm looking into one from DBK (in shades of brown) similar to this one:

That latter one is going to cost more than the sword!

[Das Bill]

Yeah, I need to buy some scabbards for the swords I already have as well. I've been eyeing the DBK line, though you certainly can't go wrong with Christian Fletcher, either.

Sabersmith (www.sabersmith.com) also makes scabbards and could make them for you.

This one should be well underway by now. I'll be sure to post pictures once it gets here!

[Sir Brian]

So you may have it in time to show it off to us by VARF? 

[Sir Edward]

Absolutely! In fact, he emailed me last night saying it'll probably be done this weekend. I may have it in a week or so.

   Sweet!!! Can't wait to see it in person!

Well in THAT case you HAVE to make it to NCRF on the weekend of the 17th! After-all it would be cruel to
make Sir Blackwolf, Sir Andrew and myself to wait until VARF! 

[Sir Edward]

Well, it's on its way to me! I'm guessing I'll have it later in the week.

That's pretty sweet looking. I like how there's the compliment cross on the chape like the one on the pommel.

[Sir Edward]

Yep, and I had him put a trefoil in the chape to match the guard.

UPS is saying it'll be here Monday. Dang, I was hoping it would only take a few days.

It did indeed arrive today, and I really like it! The photos on his website do show it visually very well, but in hand it impresses me as well. For instance, the fit to the blade is precise. It supplies enough friction that you can turn it upside down without the sword sliding out (unless you shake it), and yet it's completely smooth and effortless to draw it. Excellent.
