Glad that got settled; who is Brett, Sir Brian?  The gent who did your leatherwork?

Yep, and also did the initial garters for us; Brett of T-Star leather at VARF.

The CF scabbard for my Talhoffer arrived today! It's tastefully simple. Take a look.

I just realized the only close-up of the chape is the back side of it. The full-view shows the additional detail on the front of it. The scabbard is a dark walnut sort of color, and the suspension is oxblood to match the grip.

Congrats!  It looks great.  I think simple and subtle is the way to go on scabbards.  Same with swords, understated is more striking sometimes.

Simply elegant, Sir Edward. :) Nice purchase. Looks really good with the Talhoffer.

Congratulations! Very beautiful scabbard! How does the blade fit into it?

It actually fits very well. At first I was nervous because it was quite snug when I first slipped it in, but it continued to slide without stopping hard, until fully seated. I re-sheathed it a few times, and it smoothed out even more, so it's perfect. I can turn it upside-down, and have to give it a firm shake to get it to fall out.

Yeah mine is still a little too snug but I don't work it enough...

Wow I just realized that simple statement has SO many implications!  :o

I commissioned a scabbard from Jesse Bailey. I hope I get my scabbard soon enough, it's been about 2 months since I payed them... I did buy that coif off of them so I am pretty sure I can trust them, my mother on the other hand keeps telling me I was scammed ect.  She said the same about my old Icefalcon maille and it honestly irritated me.

Hand crafted items usually take a good amount of time.  From what I know, it sounds like you're in good hands.

It is normal and natural for parents to worry about such things...when you get your item you can show her that those folks can be trusted.  Its ok man...that's how it is when you live at home with the 'rents.  Just be respectful and look forward to the day when you can be out on your own- til then, be cool.  ;)

Sir Edward!  I think you might have convinced me to give CF another look (well, you and Sir Ian) - that rig looks very, very- is it bad if I say 'sexy'?  I like the clean lines and overall simple yet attractive package.  Nice offset between the oxblood grip and belt with the brown scabbard- and the steel accents *pop*.  I really like that.  The simple elegance of the rig is matched in kind by the Talhoffer's own understated good looks.  Really great combo, nicely done Sir.

I must say, I've been cruising his site of late- he offers a great deal of options to choose from.  I still have that Knight that needs a scabbard...but I'm not certain I wish to keep it.  Have to decide on that first I suppose.

In any case, I think I speak for all assembled that we need you to kit up and put it on so we can see how it hangs on you, Lord Commander!

Yeah mine is still a little too snug but I don't work it enough...

Indeed good Sir...indeed.  ;)

Excellent scabbard, Sir Edward! There's a real elegance to the simplicity with medieval items. Functional and deadly, above all.
