How to properly carry a Scottish Claymore?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sir Brian:
A regular scabbard much like Sir Edward is having made for his Albion Dane sword which is essentially a claymore is still viable to be carried on your back, however instead of being hung up on the notion of drawing the blade from that position, it makes more sense to ‘un-shoulder’ the blade, loosen it from the scabbard and let the scabbard slide off. After the battle (if you have survived) retrieve your scabbard.  ;)

Sir Edward:
Steps to draw an oversized sword:


* Have squire kneel before you.
* Place the sheathed sword blade into squire's hands, while holding onto the hilt yourself.
* Place foot on squire's face, and push him back, taking the scabbard with him.
* ? ? ?
* Profit.

:)

Sir William:
Sir Edward...I thank Holy God that I was never your squire.  :)

I think historically step 4 is "take hostage for ransom negotiations". :)
